It’s ok. At least you are making an honest living. This isn’t an easy hand to be dealt. We just have the make the most of our situation as People Who Stutter....

My experience with teaching and stuttering for 3 years (A bit long + venting)

My experience with teaching and stuttering for 3 years (A bit long + venting) Hi, I’m 28 years old and have been stuttering since I was a child. I work as an English teacher in my country. Although I ...

That happens to almost all of us who stutter. I once read that it's because when you talk to someone, the social part of your brain is activated, which doesn't happen when you talk to yourself. So i...

No one, not a single person cares about your stutter as much as you do inside your head. Don't let it put you down....

I couldn't agree more. To me, the "real self" is defined by our sensibilities and perspectives—not by the quality of our vocal output. But sadly, the world often judges us on "how" we speak rather th...

Text, Text=real me Stammering=I don't know that person. It's not me and never will....

yeah i've had people think i'm SMARTER because i stutter, and i've learned that people listen harder and more actively to me than to anyone else. i think a lot of this is just the way you interpret ...

The sincere comment really got me thinking. To me, having text ready isn't a "defeat." It’s more like an "amulet" or "tranquilizer" that keeps me calm. I’m wondering if this difference comes from ou...

I think that the word "concerned" makes it sound like someone being a person who stutters is a bad thing. I have a husband and two kids who stutter- when my kids started stuttering, I was worried th...

I have a similar path, i got a math degree BS and a marketing master, yet i can't find any job, i'm 26M, my mother tell me to get a sell job but if she knew how weird is it as a stutter to guide a cli...

I appreciate the response but I don’t think I have social anxiety. When I think about the med school interview I do, I was just so nervous because I didn’t get enough practice considering my stutter. ...

managing situational anxiety with medication is just a TEMPORARY bandaid. Long term usage comes with side-effects like fatigue, hunger pangs, and those are the minor ones. I use it occasionally in h...

When I spoke with a new guy at work and quickly in the conversation he said “holy shit you have a stutter too?” Was nice to run into a fellow stutterer in the wild...

I don't have kids, but my mother has told me multiple times how she went through exactly what you're going through. Living with a stutter is tough, but if it truly is a stutter, it's not like taking...

Just gotta roll the nat20 to hit all the conditions that would lead to the job for a non-stutterer AND do so in the presence of a hiring manager who thinks handicaps are endearing and/or looking to di...

I really think we stutteres need to give less of a fuck. No need to fit in. Do what you do and take minutes or longer to say what you want to say. Be open about the fact that you stutter and that’s it...

yeah, u can be a useless stutterer o a stutterer who studied. choose...

I don’t know if this counts, but one time I met someone new through a friend and started talking. When it was her turn to speak, she had a stutter as well that was about equal to mine. We didn’t menti...
