Its complicated. It hurt my confidence a lot to hear things during childhood like “I can’t understand half of what you say” “I need a break from your voice” or just laughter at my talking. It hurt my ...

It’s kind of killed my confidence and prevented a lot of my dating experiences. I probably stutter every fifth of so word but it’s not something people immediately notice so they chalk it up to sh...

I just wanted to share my experience in my college class I had today, to show everyone we are not alone in this group.

I just wanted to share my experience in my college class I had today, to show everyone we are not alone in this group. So I was in my college class and there is 3 of us one of which i consider to be m...

I feel like I am crazy

I feel like I am crazy A few months ago I finally decided to go to a therapist and today i had my first appointment at a speech therapist. At both of those meetings I almost didn’t stutter, because we...

Does anyone else feel like people don’t respect you because of your stutter?

Does anyone else feel like people don’t respect you because of your stutter? I feel like most people that I interact with don’t treat me like a grown, respectable man. I hate to have a victim mindset,...

Not really... I'm not the chatty type of person and I hate it when I have to contribute a lot to a conversation and that's what speech and language is about... I was just hoping to get some advice but...

Exactly, it’s strange going for a normal drive to the store, then all the sudden an excruciatingly painful memory jumps out for no reason at all. It’s as if I’m there, reliving the sweating, heart pou...

Was reading Dostoevsky and came across this line that immediately resonated with some of my worst stuttering memories that pop up sometimes.

Girl sameee. I’ve been crying about my stutter a lot these past few days and I swear, before I was 11, I felt so happy and was surprisedly social. But I guess I grew more self conscious as I grew olde...

Not sure if I helped you at all.. But yeah, the truth is harsh for us, people who don't stutter will never understand. So I'd say, the sooner you stop caring as much, the better. But even then, some i...

I get it and I agree. I'm tired of being perceived as slow and stupid, which is unfortunately still the way some people see PWSs. And the comments are even worse "diD YoU ForGeT YoUr NaMe?" Still, do...

That was hard to read because you're describing what it was like for me. It was at this time though that I went to speech therapy for the second time. I am Australian though, so it was free but if yo...

I feel your pain, not being able to fully participate in a society is torturing at times. We're not really meant to be lonely, solitary, silent creatures. However it sounds like a large chunk of your ...

my mother stuttered too (it disappeared when she was around my age though) and she sees me as a burden. such mothers exist....

Had this problem a lot in high school. Would take me a minute to say a joke and everyone would look around awkwardly and smile. I never found a solution to this even now in my adult life....

Yes, it makes everything so much worse and more embarrassing. I tense up and close my eyes involuntarily and my mouth contorts, plus I have a bad habit of ducking my head a little bit when I'm trying ...

i felt this. i was in a group setting with my best friend and some friends we havent spoke to in a long time. the whole time i watched them all converse, i was so desperate to join in. soon as i did i...

i call it ticking (think of tourettes). when i stutter my head will jerk to the side, i scrunch my face up and i mess around with my hands. its so awkward, a convo will be going okay and boom that hap...

I feel this so much. Joining in, failing, and just killing the vibe dead. I feel like I've now lost all ability to banter, because "things are funnier when I don't talk" has become so engrained in me...
