That's very interesting. I guess I do a fake stutter at times but it's more to mock myself and belittle myself than it is to help myself, and it's usually under my breath too or when I'm alone I'd moc...

Been there and actually done that. When I was a teen I was very ashamed (I still am ashamed, but much less now). I hated myself. I was mostly ashamed for what I felt was “less than” or “less intellige...

I truly understand your pain regarding it, my stutter makes me feel trapped inside my own mind... I don't really have any advice to give, I've been told the same bs as you after asking for help. I per...

When I was in year 1 or 2 so about age 5/6, in my class we answered the register by saying “good morning” to whoever was next in the register to us, I had to say “good morning Grant” and then he would...

F\*cking friends... This was a long time ago... Rap was really just getting popular. When I had my fluency blocks, I would say "um, um, um" for the longest time. I was able to use a "cheater" word to...

Same. Exactly same. Last 2 sentences are TOTALLY me (you could see my last post). I absolutely hate it as well. “I just wanna talk.” YUP. I’m on vacation (day 1) w/ lots of extended family (will be...

When I was a kid, I was very shy and wouldn't talk much. If I spoke, I would speak only to one friend (the only boy in my school who shared my religion) and I wouldn't speak in English, despite being ...

My stutter makes me feel like a freak. Just now I saw some friends in a discord call so I jumped in, they said I should get the game Unturned. I said I wasn't at my house and it wasn't my PC so I didn...

Man, I have a huge problem with mumbling too. I do it because it's easier for me to speak more fluently in a low monotone, but then it's incredibly annoying when people don't understand me and ask me ...
