I had a bad stuttering day yesterday and Monday. Had to do probably 15+ interviews and interactions between the two days, and I was stuttering really bad. At this point it doesn't embarrass me, just i...

Stuttering through a Presentation

Stuttering through a Presentation I just needed a place to vent to people who can understand me. Just gave one of the worst presentations of my life, stuttering wise. I just never seemed to get a feel...

I get steamed listening to people ramble on

I get steamed listening to people ramble on Just gotta blow off some steam, sorry in advance for ranting. I just realized why I get subconsciously upset listening to some people talk. It's a pet peeve...

What do you guys do when you're having a really bad day?

What do you guys do when you're having a really bad day? Had quite a bad day today regarding my stutter, I try to not let it affect me or my life and I like to think im getting better but (as im sure ...

Forgive me if this is too personal, but do you ever feel angry at your dad for passing on his stuttering genes to you? I'm a stutterer too and the thought of having a kid with my stutter makes me anxi...

I definitely get the frustration. I tend to revel in the rare occasions people treat me rudely, though. It usually makes me smile and give a bit of a bewildered "are you serious?" look. I then will tr...

I would've punched that cunt tbh but that's just me. (I'm obviously glad that you didn't do that and I don't advise doing that.)...

any loss of respect from peers, recruits, anyone due to the stutter?...

I'd like to know the answer to this too. As I've said in other posts, my current job requires me to talk all day... But my attitude towards stuttering hasn't changed. I loathe going to work because I ...

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand.

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand. My stuttering isn't that bad the past couple months because of speech therapy, but it still fucking sucks. Social anxiety and tension f...

It's so very frustrating. I don't know if it makes me want to work harder at learning or just drop it altogether. :(...

You're complaining. To keep it short. No one is saying you should coddle people. I said that the victim mentality is part of the process. One needs to experience failure and a low before they'...

How do you glean that I've not made peace with the past? I'm interested in you expanding on how I am identifying with the victim mentality as well. Maybe I am, as I know exactly what it's like and h...

You have good intentions, but if you re-read your post you'll notice that you're speaking in far too many pronouns and identifying--ironically--with the victim mentality. You're motivated but have n...

Stupid rant you probably shouldn't read
