Anyone else feel social awkward purely due to their stutter?

Anyone else feel social awkward purely due to their stutter? As PWS we often: 1. Get stuck on a word and must repeat ourselves multiple times, which doesn’t look good, extremely for telling jokes and...

Thanks heidguy8. I hope it’s useful to your son. The big thing I think is to keep him talking and confident and not reaching a point where he becomes emotionally reactive to his stuttering moments....

Sounds like stuttering to me! Panic attacks cause muscle tension, and with muscle tension, our diaphragm can freeze, causing stuttering. I would really recommend the Dave McGuire course. They have a...

1. ~9 or 10 which is somewhat unusual :/ 2. Yep :) 3. Some people would disagree, but I find it so amazing when you’re partner (at least tries to) understand and empathise with you. Finding a partne...

Yeah I agree, I know this never would've worked for me a few years back, when I had absolutely zero control over my speech. There definitely are levels to it, and a stutterer constantly moves between ...

It's not that easy for some. Just like everything in life, there are levels. The OP can't possibly have a severe stutter, because if he/she did, they would never say it's easy. I get that it's a sim...

Lots of us have faced this situation. With stuttering as well as those with anxiety but no stutter. To me it presents itself as a distant voice warning me I will fail. Each time I let that voice win, ...

Now I can't think about getting a job, I'm just terrified about talking to ppl, everytime I need to just seems im having a panic attack, heart racing, cant breath, cant think, just want to get out of ...

I see that I didn’t take into account that your situation differs from mine. I do see that with my stuttering, it’s mostly me being worried about it, but not many weird or negative reactions from oth...

All I want is someone to vent to, someone who will hear my problems and just try to give my true answers.

Let not be naïve as a stutter some places won’t hire you but never ever let few people decide on your future for you. Honestly almost 95% of jobs require some sort of communication. Stuttering can cau...

I've tried numerous CBTs but nothing really helped. None of antidepressant drugs worked , too.It is more about not being able to fulfill ambitions, because stuttering still brings you down at some poi...

I give up on my stutter. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
