I agree with the comment above. This happens more than us think, but they don't talk about it. I'm really sure that the most of people think we are retarded or something else....

I used to ask friends to order for me when I was in college. But I realized that's even more embarrassing. Much easier now to order at a sit-down place than at a counter, let alone a drive-thru. At l...

omg. For the first time someone mistook me as being mentally challenged and told other people so they all treated me that way

omg. For the first time someone mistook me as being mentally challenged and told other people so they all treated me that way I went to the dentist today. At check in, I got stuck saying my name(which...

Yes, this encapsulates the entire stuttering experience perfectly. This is the reason why most of us suffer extreme anxiety in speaking situations and find it hard to accept ourselves. We have been l...

I can understand your pain and I am sorry that other people can be so hurtful. I have stuttered and suffered from blocks for my entire life. I have tried to learn to give people some benefit of the do...

You get no fucking respect at all when you stutter

What makes you think that the other people think you're an idiot? Maybe they don't? You're being too hard on yourself, I understand how frustrating having a stutter can be, but there is no benefit ga...

mental breakdown

mental breakdown I just had a mental breakdown, I cried for tye first time in 2 years and why? Because I couldn't say a fucking word. I'm a pathetic loser I know, crying over a fucking word. I just ca...

Good two cents. I'd have preferred to not have spoken, but everyone is different. Any opportunity to avoid the embarrassment associated with disclosing my stuttering, would have been appreciated....

If life was a musical, one would think out life would be so much easier. But, I can't sing for shit and would be ostracised for that instead! LOL Fuck my life......

This post really hit home for me. I had a lot of those same fears and insecurities in my teens and into my 20s. Honestly, I think everyone who stutters has felt this way. I always saw girls I wanted t...

I’m sorry you feel that way. I think taking a step back from pursuing and charming potential dates is a good idea, but not for the reason you think. Trying too hard doesn’t work for most men when it c...

I understand young being a factor but at the same time I know that I was the only reason I kept constantly getting rejected and I’m totally fine with that. I thought back on it and I realized that may...

Thanks for asking. I began stuttering at about age 4-5. I remember being the “apple of my parents’ eye” before that. I felt adored. At about age 4, my eye muscle turned in and with the stutter, I was ...

Was told in college by my crush that nobody would want to be with a PWS because women don't want to be with a genetically compromised person. So yeah, still single, don't even try. All my attempts hav...
