It was always hard for me. Most of the negativity came from my own parents. I personally don’t talk a whole lot anyway. There are plenty of assholes in society that make things difficult. Negative ...

I know it's hard, but don't let such comments get under your skin. Don't give people that power over you. You have your own dignity and the way you speak shouldn't give people the right to treat you w...

The world is full of idiots, just laugh and move on. Don't give idiots like that space in your mind...

You ran into an a\*\*hole. They aren't worth your consideration. Other than their tantrum, did anything else change? Did your manager replace you? No. These sorts of things are what I refer to as "...

Really Urgent

Really Urgent I take webinars for my company and I stutter, I think I made a major screw up of myself in front of many people. I know we should own it, but it's humiliating and upsetting. I muster a l...

I never, ever, had fun when I stuttered. I did fully recover through psychotherapy when I was 70! My stuttering was emotionally caused and dealing with my abusive childhood gave me fluency. It would ...

I know, right!! I mean - what the heck, brain?! Sometimes, we can say a whole fucking long sentence - smoothly and rhythmically. And then the most hateful question follows. In this second, brain a...

I would say you don't want to think of it as fixing speech. Your speech is not broken, it is just different. What you probably want to work on is your speech controlling what you do or don't do, negat...

Freedom, It's probably only funny to those of us who have made peace with or stuttering. Reading the pain of some younger stutterers on this site breaks my heart. They are willing to feign muteness r...

It makes me cringe a bit too, even though I think that scene is funny. Even nowadays when people claim everything is too woke, we can still be joked about. Good thing we have thick skins I guess...

First Post

First Post First time posting. Been following for a while. Kinda long. I am 40 and have had a stutter since around age 9. Literally don’t know where it came from. I can relate to everything that ...

I honestly find it hard to express myself to others because I literally stutter. So I tend to suppress my feelings all the time and tbh, I’ve been noticing a increase in my stuttering these days due t...

People who don't stutter, cannot know the pain and heartbreak that comes with it. Your mom means well, and all she can really do is to force you to "be better" even though it will be nearly impossible...

My mom got mad at me for being frustrated over my stutter

My mom got mad at me for being frustrated over my stutter I even showed signs of me crying and it seemed like she didn't care. All she did was give me a lecture about practicing my speech and keeping ...

Do what feels right for you. I was put in speech therapy at around the same age and hated it. I was made to feel my stutter was something I needed to hide. It was deeply traumatizing for me because I ...

Happened to me during COVID getting tested and having to tell people my name and birthday. So many cracks about forgetting my name/birthday…🙄...

Completely agree! We know how to speak. Focusing on your speech makes it worse. I was so ashamed every time I was taken out of class to do speech therapy as a kid. So humiliating, as if stuttering isn...
