I grew up with both parents and sibling not being supportive of my stuttering, going as far as mocking or punishment for stuttering. Now in my mid 20s, I wonder how this has affected me emotionally a...

Yes. Literally my first memory is stuttering and being made fun of by 10 or 15 family members....

Same I'm 31 and I've only known 1 or 2 others in my life time with some level of stuttering. I was always the most severe which is depressing. Other times where in speech therapy, but that doesn't c...

I am 44 now. 14-23 were the worst years for stuttering for me, every time I spoke words there would be something. I still block and repeat occasionally, but it got a lot better over time... though not...

Bro I thought I was the only one that felt like this and it made me feel so bad because I kinda hate hearing other people stutter it makes me cringe and it annoys me and makes me imagine how other non...

I've never cried about it. I got my stutter towards the end of ninth grade after around five of my classmates had it. The first person had it when he was a child and as we grew, one by one started t...

Brooo this is my story, so im in an Msc. Class and i really do know i have an idea about whats being taught, anytime i try to make a contribution or im called upon to make a contribution, i block and ...

Definitely have cried or felt defeated at times because of a bad speaking situation. Just know we have survived all situations in the past and are still here and breathing. Keep your head up and keep ...

I am 20 years old and currently doing my undergraduate and yes, I have cried a lot because of my stuttering. School was a bit cruel for me but there would come a point where I got tired and stopped c...

Oh, yes. Back in my first year of college, I went to this debate event for a club activity and I was supposed to talk about this one topic they had assigned us. I gathered all my points and as I began...

Yes I did like most of the stammerers out there. It happens when you feel really helpless about your situation and don’t know how to get rid of it. But time heals and eventually you get out of it and ...

Yep. Was 28 years old going through training for an insurance company. Lovely couple thought I was from another country because I was so nervous I could barely speak. The proceeded to talk poorly of ...

Do other people cringe like this when hearing us or is it just other stutters?...

This is not the same as crying in private to vent about how rough it is to stutter, but...... I sometimes get tears in my eyes when I'm trying to talk. It's completely involuntary - maybe just frustra...

i always hoped it could just be crying, unfortunately it drives me more weak and miserable, also cold feelings afterwards, can’t feel excited for something or sad about other thing. i’m 25 years old a...

Yes. I teared up at a work meeting. I was speaking and had a block. Tried to push through and it wasn't working. I told the group never mind and they were encouraging me to speak and saying it is ok. ...

yeah i definitely relate. especially the part where you said you're wishing for their approval. i think that's why i apologize so often....

I can relate to your experience. Most times people will say it's okay or they won't say anything at all after I say sorry. They have been understanding and it makes me think I'm way too hard on myself...

I dont apologize but I feel ashamed of myself. It´s like I think that they think less of me cause of my block and at the same time im wishing for they aproval. So if I stammer is less likely that they...
