I'm responding to this three weeks later, but does that issue not bother you? Specifically the part where you say that we can be as capable as the CEO but won't get ntocurd if we can't articulate that...

People take for granted just being able to speak a single sentence clearly. Makes me feel stupid for not being able to do something a 10 year old kid can do....

Ughhhh

Ughhhh I was just explaining a show (Covert Affairs) to my dad. I couldn’t even get the Covert part out. It took several stutters. It’s embarrassing. I hate it. My family are all okay about it; don’t...

"There is no word like "mmmmm""

"There is no word like "mmmmm"" When I was younger (I'm 27 now), when I block while speaking, my elder brother was keep saying "Stop. STOP! Speak slowly. Why are you keep saying 'mmmmm'? There isn't a...

I have never seen this movie because I feel like it would trigger me. My mom had also downplayed mine throughout my life and I don’t think she realizes how damaging it is. She used to think I was “imi...

Not that exactly, but I hate that look of surprise and confusion that I get a lot of times. Even worse when it turns to this sort of patronizing look of understanding, like they think I'm stupid and w...

Has anyone had someone back away in fear from you because of your stuttering?

Has anyone had someone back away in fear from you because of your stuttering? Yeah, I've had that happen to me more than once. Sometimes the person backs away from you like you're a crazy ax-murderer....

Cousin's wedding. The entire family gathered around. Still have flashbacks to this day. It's so irritating because it was so inconsequential, but felt bad nevertheless....

That's terrible. I used to experience the same thing where kids would stare at me as I would try to say my own name. I suggest you go to a doctor and tell them the severity of the situation. Make sure...

Am I pathetic?

Am I pathetic? Alright Comrades, I dunno why I feel as if I should share my recent experiences with my fluency on a subreddit, it ain't like me to complain about my life on social media, but hey it lo...

It feels odd to me to make a speech saying just be who you are, embrace your ‘weirdness’ and don’t try to be normal…when he had his birth mark surgically removed as a small child and obsessed over cur...

People are literally so weird. Even if you thought someone was retarded based on their speech, why would they ask someone that? smh...

Having to tell my name when arriving late to school. It’s so embarassing stuttering the first word of my name and then asking if I can just write it and explain to them my stutter problem....

When you introduce yourself and they go to shake your hand so you obviously shake it back. But you block on your name so long that you're basically just holding hands with the person for 5-10 seconds....

Repeating myself, being asked my name. One of the worst is having to speak in a group. It's impossible to get a word in, timing has to be just right for that. Even worse is when you try to say someth...

What are the things that u hate doing as a stutterer

What are the things that u hate doing as a stutterer For me personally it’s reading and i tell my teachers that i have a severe stuttering problem they proceeded to tell me then that they wont put a m...

It’s also called breaking eye contact due to shame. It’s totally understandable and common for PWS. If you want to know how to address it, let me know....

How did I deal with the awkward moments? That depends on how awkward my interlocutor would make those moments. There were people who literally just waited for me to finish talking, and even if my stu...

Am I the only one who sometimes just wants to smash things and yell?

Am I the only one who sometimes just wants to smash things and yell? Sometimes I get so frustrated from stuttering that I just want to yell and throw kicks at something. I hate it when I stutter in my...

I shouldn't have even gotten my hopes up.

I shouldn't have even gotten my hopes up. After everything I had to go through and months of waiting, my waiver to join the army was denied. I don't care what people say, a severe stutter holds me bac...
