For me, stuttering has been a life destroying menace. ‘It is what it is” doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone....

Stuttering does prevent me from showing people the real me, and it does so in two ways. First, is the obvious difficulty I have expressing myself through speech. Second, and far more importantly, is...

My employment history has spanned retail to hard labour to aviation. My last job, and what I thought would be my career, was working as an Aircraft Systems Technician, or Aircraft Mechanic, in the Roy...

How to cope with stuttering

How to cope with stuttering I wanted to ask y’all, because I genuinely don’t know what to do. I always feel like I’ve accepted that I have a stutter, but then right as I do, I have a huge block when t...

Most of the time they don’t really care. At least they don’t bring it up or anything. People in general have been pretty gracious for the most part, but there is always the handful that mock me when ...

Sorry, it's still to raw for me to be funny. I don't even stutter that badly anymore. Maybe it's the childhood of stuttering jokes....

I get it, We all want fluency. We should continue to work on the things we can control like our thoughts and emotions, our self talk and our breathing and posture. Read books, educate yourself. Findi...

That’s fucking funny. Not in a mean way, but if I started slobbering down my chin trying to say my name I’d laugh at myself more than I’d feel ashamed. Probably....

You can totally get better and better at conversational skills, breathing and other skills that with reduce your stutter. Although part of that toolbox is not getting upset over your stutter and not...

I need to know

I need to know I need to know if we are REALLY doomed to live with a stutter for the rest of our lives. "Accept your stutter", "fuck what they think of you", etc. Sounds nice, but deep down I just wan...

I hate saying my name. Luckily when I meet a new person at work Im typically introduced by another employee. Though one time when I stuttered my name at work my coworker was very rude about it. She la...

Stutterer for 20 years, taking it one day at a time ❤️ My story. Hello everyone. I have just found this community of stutters just like me! I thought I would share my story. I started stuttering rig...

All I know is that I was very confused and desperately upset, when as a little fella (5, 6….) I could see others speak away in class, with friends, most importantly at home with family…I did not under...

Nah man, immediate family are the ones that make you feel that you have embarrassed them and yourself, if you stutter in public. Atleast that what my experience has been being in Asia....

It’s so embarrassing stuttering in front of my family

It’s so embarrassing stuttering in front of my family I went to dinner with my family who I haven’t seen a while, and while ordering I stuttered so much and it was so embarrassing and they just stared...

It's a complex thing to fully understand. My guess on why you didn't stutter while reading out loud with your classmates is because the attention is not thoroughly on you, when you speak alone, everyo...

I feel you my friend. Unfortunately, I was witness to such situations in my family too when I was kid . Stuttering appeared later in my teens but I guess that played a crucial role along with other is...

Trust me I get it at 26 I still block when trying to say my name or just freeze and I can’t say anything but I had to put away that shame and learn to forgive myself when it happens and not be so hard...

I wish that were me. For me, in my early 30s, it’s still an instant moment of sweat, fear, and anxiety when I have to introduce myself. I’ve done it a 1000+ times and it hasn’t gotten better. It’s pro...
