Yeah, my granddad is actually one of my closest friends and I work with him almost every day. I know he just doesn't want me to end up like him and still stuttering so much. It's just hard because I s...

For me at least, my stutter is like a broadcast of how I’m feeling. If I’m relaxed and comfortable around people who aren’t judgmental, I talk fine. If I’m hungry, haven’t slept well, or stressed ou...

Sorry to be blunt about this reply but you have too understand the feeling of "shame" most likely is steaming from self doubt and the fear of the visual reaction to your speech impediment. Everyone wa...

It's pretty hard to not think about my speech when I make a fool of myself every time I open my mouth. I'm homeschooled, but yeah I know what you mean about normal people pausing and repeating stuff b...

Thanks for the advice. I don't want to be like this forever, unable to talk and really embarrassed all the time. Speech therapy didn't help at all last time though and it makes me even more ashamed wh...

Why does it suddenly and randomly get worse?

Why does it suddenly and randomly get worse? I'm a 13 year old guy and I've stuttered as long as I can remember. In the last few months it's gotten way, way worse and I don't know why. It's made me re...

It makes me look rude and stupid when I can't speak. I sometimes pretend I didn't hear people or don't want to answer them. Or I just shrug....

I’ve realised it’s harder for me to say the answer to something. For example if someone asks me “what’s your name?” I can say “my name is..” but then I can’t say my name. But I’ll have no problem sayi...

It's made me somewhat of an introvert. I have an outgoing personally, but with stuttering, I can be perceived as shy, quiet and one who keeps to himself. I still enjoy socializing with friends and doi...

Thats me to a tee. I was thr class clown up until 10th grade. Then my stutter became worse and I became shy as well. Thankfully my friends didn't care. Somehow managed to get attractive girlfriends bu...

im a very opinionated person but in class i would always keep my mouth shut for fear of stuttering. and when my stutter was still mild, i was a pretty funny person, kinda like a class clown. but when ...

I have healed for the most part now, but middle school and highschool I censored who I was in the classroom. Was very painful. I wasn’t afraid outside of the classroom but dang not being able to feel ...

Although my stutter has gotten better since I finished school, I've certainly become a very shy and reserved person due to teasing and the like while I was at school. There were honestly days there wh...

I feel like my ability to communicate and hold a conversation had been severely affected because of stutter. It made me so shy in all these years that I can barely hold a conversation with anyone exce...

Hi, i did say that I will not form a healthy relationship even if I get a chance to form it. So no matter how much destructive it can be for me, I will not do it. And it's ok. Even if I miss any once ...

In my case, quite a lot, I consider that It doesn’t allow me to be myself, I limit myself a lot, I’m embarrassed to speak, sometimes I cry because I feel I can’t deal with so much pressure. Sometimes ...

For me, this tactic 'worked' for 25+ years.I learned this through fear and embarrassment because I had adult family members who would make fun of me... "Ju-Ju-Ju- just g-g-g-et it out stu-stu-stu-stup...

I have the same problem but what i do when i feel like im annoying others is that i just stop talking, when i ask why i just say: "nevermind it isn't interresting story" or something like that...

It was 100% the same for me, but I flipped it around this year. The anxiety that comes from you being anxious about stuttering causes you to stutter, which causes you to be anxious etc etc death spira...

Yes. The speech therapy that I received as a child was trash. It was mostly about enunciation. It did nothing about blocks. I eventually went to speech therapy as an adult and it had been life changi...
