Yes i think i have that problem. I call it a problem, not to call anyone else out, but i feel it means I care more about being embarrassed than i do communicating effectively. And i ignore this fact...

I have this memory of a medical assistant i believe giglging into her shirt a little when i was stuttering talking to the doctor. I cant quite remmeber much because it was so long ago but this post b...

I think we all get this way sometimes. Sometimes i get angry at myself even though i know its not my fault. Sometimes I'll be depressed for a whole day after one stutter flare where i needed to comm...

I never really cared what people thought, I just don't like or tolerate disrespect from people when it comes to the stutter that's caused me so much pain in life. And I can tell right off the bat if a...

So just talk to people and not focus on the stutter makes 0 sense.

So just talk to people and not focus on the stutter makes 0 sense. So I'm immature for.the thoughts I have? How do I approach this without hating humans after? I genuinely dont know what emotions I'm ...

Yeah, you are overreacting. Living with a stutter is not rainbows and sunshine. Some people may not have the mental power to change their perspective on life. Or lived with traumatic experiences with ...

Yeah this happened quite a few times to me as well, i.e. ppl thinking I don't speak the language. Also the usual "did u forget ur name?" joke I've heard a million times....

Non-medical(is that a word?) Ppl reactions are often worse. They just straight up regret asking u anything and make that face. I've had my fair share of even educated ppl uncontrollably laughing in my...

That's a weird one for sure! Nothing more than an awkward laugh for me. Most people (that aren't medically trained) don't really react I've found...

That's completely fine, I also can't spell my name out when asked suddenly, I understand how you felt. Once a man was filling a form on behalf of me (idk why he didn't handover the form to me) and s...

Weirdest reaction to your stutter

Weirdest reaction to your stutter I recently went to the hospital for an appointment and the nurse took me to the other room to get my BP and everything. She asked for my name and I started stuttering...

So I just need to "get over" the fact that stuttering is a battle I cant win?

So I just need to "get over" the fact that stuttering is a battle I cant win? You see, people are telling me that I need to stop thinking of it in a negative light but I simply cant guys. It's like wa...

I'm glad it's working for you, but I wouldn't tell this to a kid. It's teaching them how to hide their stutter, which teaches them they should hide it, which teaches them that stuttering is bad, which...

I’m traumatised from being asked “did you forget your name?” Multiple times in my life. People are just so oblivious to other people’s issues it’s insane...

I worked at a knife store in my 20’s. I had a customer call (the phone is the worst!) and I was speaking so badly the customer said “I’m gonna ask you a question… you only have to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’...

SO HOW DO I JUST ACCEPT IT? I'm having alot of difficulty, wrapping my head around just accepting my stutter. Ive hated it all my life, and even though I know stuttering isnt my fault, i still feel li...

Working in Retail

Working in Retail After a lifetime of being terrified to work with customers I had no other option than to work in retail customer service as I needed work ASAP. I’ve worked there for over a year now ...

Yes. I would give ALOT to just be able to speak like a "normal" human speaks. Without those blocks inside my own mind and throat. Im 41 and had the gift/curse/superpower(wut?) since I was 6. It doesnt...

OP I feel you. I used to say I was a different name at the park because I couldn’t get my own name out. I used to throw up before the first little league practice when we had to say our names. I used ...
