Yeah for me its at places where other people can hear me.... Like a cafeteria, restaurant. And just around people I don't know. At my university's gym I don't stutter there, most of the time I'm on...

I stutter a lot at work. When I'm at home or with family members not so much. I also tend of stutter when visiting new places or ordering stuff (basically talking to strangers)....

Yeah, I mean, I'm not looking for a hand out, but my stutter is on the severe end of the spectrum. I didn't go to college or university because I was just plain afraid, job interviews are a nightmare,...

Trying to enjoy life is fucking hard with a severe stutter that makes communication nearly impossible. How do you do it?...

When I start feeling that way (and I do, a lot), I'll jump on the computer and write an essay. Nothing intellectual or anything. Even if it's just 2,000 words on why I liked season 5 of Buffy, or why ...

Hi xoebox, I hear what you're going through. I've stuttered since I was 5 years old or so (I'm 34 now). I know exactly what you mean when you describe it as "draining". I think that's an excellent wa...

My story

My story According to my mom I started stuttering after a trauma. I was around three years old and was playing with pearls. Somehow a pearl got stuck in my nose and we went to the hospital to take it ...

Apart from Hausdorfer, I've tried every single speech therapy available in The Netherlands the past 25 years. None of that had a lasting improvement on my speech. Now I'm trying the acceptance route,...
