*hugs For the record it is a soft spot for me also. I had issues with my kids joking around about it growing up , the joke didn’t work. It still hurt ; even though it was coming from an innocent ...

i like to think that i’ve grown to be pretty thick skinned but i’ve always gotten really emotional when someone references my stutter in a negative way so i completely understand where you’re coming f...

I know how you feel. One of the reasons why i don’t talk to my dad as much as my mum is cuz he laughs at my stutter and ir sucks. It’s also rlly shit when people close to you (such as ur family) makes...

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It hurts enough when strangers, people who we don’t even know or care about, make fun of our stutter. It hurts much more when it’s someone we love and care abo...

Yeah you are right. My dad loves me i know it. He does everything for me but it just hurts cause this is my weak point in life. I take jokes left and right but my stutter just hurts in a place. Btw yo...

I am Muslims and we say Assalamualaikum when greeting each other ( it's compulsory) and it's the same for me because I can't greet anyone by saying Assalamualaikum which makes me feel so guilty and be...

Drinking can't cause stuttering. For some people, it can make stuttering worse though. Others stutter less when drunk. Also, slurring aside, "tripping up" over words is 'better' than blocks and can b...

Relate to all this except feeling embarrassed for my parents, mother was the reason why I became so introverted. In my teens while in her home country she disowned me cause she was embarrassed of my s...

My manager can’t seem to help mirroring my stutter

My manager can’t seem to help mirroring my stutter He’s nice and I genuinely like him. The first few times it happened, I very clearly stated it was something I couldn’t control and he apologized imme...

broke down and cried in front of my mom today

broke down and cried in front of my mom today This is the first time I ever cried to her about my stutter and what it feels like. She came to my room this morning and told me to tell my dad that my co...

Not totally accurate. I get hard stuck in blocks when I hold eye contact. When I break it, for whatever reason, I get out of the block quicker. I realize it makes no sense, but it is what it is....

It’s “eye contact aversion” due to shame, and is very common in stutters with hard blocks. This is where I learned about it : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stuttering-solutions-atlanta/id152...

Yeah I tried but this toxicity can't totally get out of my mind maybe bc of my subconscious fears of stuttering or just OCD(I don't know if I have it). The origin of this toxic habit is my concern ab...

I have two homes, I currently live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. My other home is in Serbia (if I remember it has lowest suicidal rate in Europe). I was suicidal since age 10-11 because of my stuttering ...

Where abouts do you live? I’m in the Scotland and September is the end of summer so I find that I start to deteriorate around then. Suicide rates (not saying you are suicidal) are highest in April (sp...

It’s okay! I think we feel more shame when we stutter around people that we usually feel comfortable with. But you shouldn’t feel shame about it. It’s apart you and so you should live unapologetically...

I close my eyes when Im blocking to avoid seeing weird looks...

im sorry that happened to you 🥲 blocking in front of people is really a soul draining thing. did you manage to make any friends in the end?...

I worked at a theme park for a couple years. At orientation they made us stand up and say our names and our position—the fucking worst thing ever. I blocked hard and everyone laughed. Good times. Sorr...

Yeah, for the longest time I pretended I really enjoyed college, when really I didn't have many friends and struggled socially, not to mention the bullying....
