I also don't talk about my stuttering to anyone too, my family is not supportive of my stuttering and I'm generally uncomfortable with the topic of it. Because yeah, it is embarrassing. However, thes...

The thing is - they probably don't even know that I stutter, and that it's a disorder which I cannot control. They probably think that I'm just a dumbass weirdo, who just never learned to talk. And ...

People at office treat me like I'm stupid & slow, and they laugh behind my back Hi there, So, I obviously stutter that's why I'm here. I work from office as Software engineer. Have noticed that s...

She has sisters but, they’re stuck in the same ways as her parents unfortunately. yeah she is scared of her parents, more so because they basically guilt trip her a lot. It’s a tricky situation but I’...

Unfortunately she has those kind of parents who don’t accept things. They’re very similar with mental health and they completely sweep her feelings under the rug. I’m sorry it made you feel that way...

I fell for a really similar scam and was very disheartened because I was made to feel as though I didn’t try hard enough. I’d need to hear more about the specifics but if she goes into it viewing it a...

I'm 31 and I haven't met too many other stutters in my life to be honest only 2 or 3 at most..Stuttering has literally ruined my life honestly, but there are others that it doesn't affect they're live...

This happened to me (yet again) at a medical office a few weeks ago. The nurse asked me if I forgot. To her credit, a bit later, she asked me sincere questions about my stutter, wanting to learn m...

Unfortunately this is correct. I'm 31 and had a extremely hard life on top of severe stuttering and I'm surprised I haven't tried to commit suicide yet. Having a severe stutter as a young man no matte...

I’m nearly 20 and won’t go to Dr appointments alone. I can’t BEAR stuttering in front of strangers like receptionists and doctors. The embarrassment of having my mother come with me is much more beara...

It depends. I agree not to avoid all situations. But ones that are high risk for mental torture for years to come, avoid them. Putting yourself at risk for severe embarrassment/humiliation WILL make y...

I haven't been able to meet new people in over a decade now. I'm just too controlled by my embarrassment of having my stutter. It's just not worth trying to talk to people and dealing with the looks, ...

I'm glad voluntary stutters has helped so many people. It didn't help me when I tried it, though. It just made me more self-conscious. Maybe I didn't have the right mindset at the time but I just felt...

I think you are redefining disfluency and adding this element of avoidance behavior. Last time i checked, most professionals characterize avoidance as a secondary behavior, NOT as one of the three ty...
