I am a software architect. I have to lead calls with clients and ask questions that I may or not be prepared for. It can be trying at times, but if someone wants to stop listening due to my stuttering...

Currently I work as a Biomedical Technician between two hospitals in my city. I talk constantly to coworkers, nurses, staff, patients, etc. I've learned how to use my 'work around words' so it's not t...

Knew about my girl back in school but never actually met, but reached out to her when i was in my 20s and we hit it off, she remembered me as the hyper kid in choir ( adhd and in there cause i didnt s...

My wife doesn't care. If anything it's something that made me stand out more. Don't let your stutter define your whole being. If you don't take yourself too seriously you can be fun and interesting ...

Stuttering has significantly reduced my joy / will of life no matter how much I learn to ignore it, it's a part of who I am and I have to endure everyday, people stare at me like I am an alien as I try to get my words out, words can't describe how hard life is with a severe stutter.

First of all, kids are dumb. I know it hurts right now. But, kids are dumb. If they wanted to mock you, they would've found something. If it wasn't for your stutter, it would've been your hair, weight...

Stuttering is hard, I've been dealing with it my whole life too, but this sounds like you need help with depression or other mental health concerns. What I mean is that there are a lot of people who h...

Did most people here pour their hearts out into their first stuttering forum that they found

Did most people here pour their hearts out into their first stuttering forum that they found ...and not really get much of a reply or answers because no one seems to know a full blown cure, let alone ...

Thats outside of my qualifications dude. All I will say is this, you are not defined by your stutter, it’s not the entirety of your personality. It’ll always be a part of you, as mine is with me, but ...

I know I have to stop caring about others opinion, but how do I rid myself of my own? It’s self acceptance that I struggle with the most...

I think so, Im pretty much fluent now but I think that we tend to view our stutter as something monumental, and that most people are gracious enough to look past it and see us for who we truly are...

I'm not gonna lie, having a stutter definitely has a negative affect on dating. When I was a teen I stuttered way worse then I do now and managed to have a few nice girlfriends. Just focus on being a ...

Well, I rarely think about it anymore, certainly weeks can go by where I forget it.  Like many others will say it is still there, the mechanics of poor sound creation are fairly life long. However the...

You'll live 80 somewhat years of your life afraid to speak?? Let them sink in, go in the woods and howl if you have to but don't deny yourself your speech, you're stammering because you're human....

I am an extroverted introvert. I am much older, and I really don't care what people think of my stutter. I spent 35 years in isolation and self-discriminated many jobs and careers, lived with sham...

Anyone find themselves become more quiet and selectively mute as they get older?

Anyone find themselves become more quiet and selectively mute as they get older? I started a new job in July, but I haven't build comraderie with my colleagues. I do my work just fine but I don't ge...

For sure. And I can see how my comment can be confusing but to go a little easy on myself “how did you become more fluent?” Isn’t the easiest thing for me to answer in this format as there are many st...

South asian here who also stutters and is currently writing a fictional novel about it based on my lived experience. This was a beautiful, accurate, and relatable post - thank you for sharing!...

For me it starts with trying to accept myself how I am (a stutterer), facing it and standing to it even publicly. Accepting that stuttering is part of me but it's not what defines me as a person. Not ...

It’s only been this year that I have started to truly accept and see the power of my stutter properly. My younger sister (14F) also has a stutter and is going through her period of ‘im ashamed to spe...
