It's indeed difficult to accept it as a part of life and be open about with anyone including one's closest friends. It took me a few therapy sessions and about an year to tell my best friends who are...

Face masks really made me realise how much I covered my mouth. I was very self conscious when I took them off. Luckily at my job I can get away with wearing them, but I also liked how they hid my mout...

When you really internalize the fact that the stuttering is not your fault, it helps. Other things I look back and cringe on are usually bad choices that I made. Stuttering isn’t a choice so it doesn’...

Yep. It is a slow process to overcome and I still struggle with it. But I try to remember that the shame is not my friend, and it is not based on any true assumptions about myself. You need to develop...

Ahh, that’s me. I had someone say they liked how I talked but it was probably out of pity. I just read all the other comments like ok maybe it’s not THAT bad but nope and you are right. I am really...

It's definitely happened to me on numerous occasions, and recently. I'm 24 and still struggle with this response, especially since it's always from adults who should know better. I really thought this...

I wouldn't say I dwell on them, but I definitely cringe when the thought of a past bad stutter pops into my head....

How to not dwell on past stutters?

Replaying all of the times I stammered before bed

Replaying all of the times I stammered before bed Trying to fall asleep and realized that every night I replay every time I was disfluent that day and lament over it. I know I can’t control how other...

I've read a bit about how writing styles may indicate the psychology of the writer. It could be that your stutter has caused you to feel less worthy of being 'heard', perhaps because of feeling ashame...

Little stutter rant

Little stutter rant Hello. I haven’t been on this subreddit for long, I have posted here and there though. I’ve had a stutter since I was able to talk, had speech therapy for about 5 years, and I’m no...

Do People Laugh Out Loud When You Start Talking?

Do People Laugh Out Loud When You Start Talking? Long time reader, first time posting. I’m in my early 30s and I’ve stuttered all of my life. For the most part I’m at peace with it, though I have my u...

Personally I think this is stupid. I’m 32 and have stuttered my entire life. Nothing makes me shake my head in disgust that now we get to join the crazy people and have a flag of our own. I’m voting...

I chastise stutterers who curse themselves for stuttering just as I'd chastise someone for taunting a stutterer. If your friend beat himself up for getting stuck on a word I'd say 'Hey don't talk that...

I Don’t know what to do anymore

I Don’t know what to do anymore Hello I’m a 18 year old guy with a extremely severe stutter, My stutter was once ok for a short period of time but it immediately got worse and worse for some reason. A...

Ooof, this has happened to me so many times, I know how much it stings and won’t go away. I know it sounds cliche and is hard to do; but try to let it go. Holding on to it is only going to hurt you an...

What a kind and loving response. As stutterers, we're so used to feeling shame and embarrassment. It takes only one idiot person to undo many positive encounters. Don't that one encounter spoil your m...

You unfortunately ran into some of Earths scum. Some idiot who is likely ableist and racist. You’ll stop thinking about this incident and hopefully soon. When I think about horrible interactions like ...

Yes, I do it's so frustrating because I feel that if I would say smth to critisize someone else It'd be unfair since I can't even talk properly....
