Well and to be honest, I would rather filter those people out early on because I assume that most of them are shallow...

Hmm what do you mean whether it defines me? I stutter a lot and am still pretty self concious about it...

Oh, I still get embarrassed when it's really bad. I've stammered badly over public announcement systems before and wanted the ground to swallow me up. THEN I just accept that it happened and carry on....

At least it’s good to know someone else feels the same way… People just say be yourself, don’t care what others think. It’s just so hard because I don’t want to stutter and embarrass myself. Other peo...

I hate how awkward I am because of stutter

I hate how awkward I am because of stutter [deleted]...

I have found it hard to even talk about it with my own parents. They are very supportive and I feel super comfortable with my parents but I have always been embarrassed of my stutter so I never opened...

I’m working on this aswell, it’s hard to talk about it because it’s something that I have always been embarrassed of. But I have talk a lot about it to my wife and she has been understanding and let’s...

I have also found that letting people know has been helping me relieve some pressure of “trying” to hide it, but it has been something that I didn’t talk about in the past. I’m 26...

I second this. Even the childhood cringe moments from long ago will randomly pop into my head and it will take hours to forcefully forget it and stop worrying. It just physically hurts inside as if it...

Thank you for your response. I do sometimes punish myself very hard and cruel. Don’t know why do. I will surely remember this advice on my wedding day. Thank you and means a lot...

Every time I stop by this subreddit I'm amazed how we all have the exact same experiences and fears and embarrassing situations like OP but more importantly how we all deal with them internally and ex...

Sorry to hear about your terrible evening. Being drunk will bring out the truth in people. She obviously doesn't have any kind of empathy towards you and your stutter. Just treat her as a room-mate a...

Some of us have become *experts* at hiding the struggle. This is why many people do not realize the immense struggle (physical and emotional) we go through to even get our own names out. I’m even go...

Yeah, she sounds like an a$$hole no offense. Being drunk doesn't excuse of being a horrible person. I know many people who drink and they know about my stutter, None of them had ever mocked my stutter...

embarrassing dinner

embarrassing dinner I went out to dinner with 8 of my friends, with my girlfriend and two roommates. I was talking across the table and I stuttered pretty bad and my roommate (who knows I stutter) jus...

OMG i thought i was the only one.....yes It happens to me almost all the time, and I am left with same feelings as you. Ugh .....

Yeah a similar thing happens to me where if I bump into someone and they ask how I am, I cannot for the life of me get the words, “I’m fine thanks, yourself?” out of my mouth. I just end up repeating ...

Does anyone else relate to this?

Does anyone else relate to this? I have had a stutter my entire life. Today I had TWO run in's where someone held the door open for me, and I have a hard time with TH'S and could not get "Thank you" o...
