It's alot more embarrassing to be a drunk than a stutterer. Even if you don't drink large amounts or everyday you can easily get addicted without realizing it. Than your stutter is the least of your p...

Negative experience with it. I went in elementary school and it was the root cause of my bullying, and the speech therapist herself was extremely rude and patronizing. I’ve made peace with my stutte...

Not for me, at the age of I think 9, a woman sat me down and said "You're going to have this your whole life. There's no fixing it" it felt like a punch to the gut. I just gave up. I guess I'm a bit b...

Realization

Realization I’m 18 and just got a job where communication is the number one factor. And I realized how bad my stutter effects me. Whenever I’m talking with customers, I just pause for no reason to sto...

Last time it just made me feel stupid and ashamed of myself because despite all the money my parents spent and effort I put in I made zero improvement. It was just embarrassing. My stutter is way wor...

stuttering and dating

stuttering and dating The last couple of dates I've been the person I was going out with said they thought my stutter was "cute", I don't have the fact that I stutter in my dating profile so they didn...

That's really interesting, I never heard it put like that before. My stutter is overt so yeah communication at a very basic level is difficult, but also my goal is trying to avoid being laughed at/peo...

I must admit I have found self disclosure to be a very painful experience. My stammer is pretty much orientated around blocks and avoidances…or at least that is how it used to be…for me stammering has...

yeah, i’ve mentioned it after stuttering in social situations and it often just gave me comfort for myself. i had suuuuch a weird experience in a job interview where the interviewer just teased every ...

Yeah quiet a few people do that. Sometimes they just change the topic and ignore what you said. You grow a thick skin after a while. But deep down i guess it does hurt for a couple of seconds. I...

I keep asking the same fucking question in subrettits where girs guve advice to guys but nobody responds to me! I hate when people ghost me irl or online. I keep asking if stuttering is unattractive a...

Thanks for asking :) well this one woman came up to me in awe over my hair but once she asked my name I couldn’t get it out. She slowly put her hand down for me to shake and it was one of the worst fe...

I’m upset

I’m upset I know the logic here isn’t totally flawed but I don’t think it is… I’m a (27m) with no major health conditions in my family or with myself. I am fairly in shape, I don’t drink a lot, I do...

Wow that’s awesome. Can’t say I have positive experiences from stuttering but that’s mainly because I’ve never tried to see it as positive. But maybe I’ve been missing some positive moments due to emb...

Well I read his book and it didn’t sit well with me. To each their own. If it helps you, that’s fucking awesome! It didn’t help me though and tbh made me feel worse about myself....

Man, reading this has encouraged me to try to get away from writing things down so much. I get what you mean about it being so much less embarrassing than stuttering really badly in front of people, s...

My lisp and stutter is so bad that I don’t want to talk again. If I really want to talk, I have to talk very slow and loud before the words are heard clearly. I hate it here....

Dude I absolutely hated ordering at restaurants. Usually my dad would look at me in this judging way while I would block for 5-10 seconds. The feelings of embarrassment and shame were so palpable. Som...
