I’m 21 and a male. I’ve stuttered my whole life and can’t say it’s done anything positive. It’s pretty much destroyed my self esteem and any chance of being in relationships cause I stutter and everyo...

Probably won’t help but this is what I’ve done over my life. I’m 22 now, for the first 21 years of my life I isolated myself and that left me with almost nobody to talk to. At the age of 7 my dad look...

just a bad stuttering experience that i wanted to share i’ve posted here before but i thought i’d share an experience i had in public that occurred almost four years ago. one summer at my public pool,...

I've not had someone laugh or mock my stutter for a while but I do remember it used to hurt a lot actually. I wouldn't get mad because emotionally it had already messed me up, I would feel embarrasse...

ive matured enough admit type of discussion will never end well. Strangely the actually speakers with no obvious dyslfluency. Truth is is that the punchlines on these are almost never woth the risk t...

I agree and I'm surprised so many people here don't mind it. It normalizes mocking stuttering and it shouldn't be said. We shouldn't have to ignore it. It makes me feel bad anytime I hear it, esp when...

I know how it feels being terrified of stuttering in front of someone who may know you, but not that you stutter. I don’t have an answer for any of your questions. Every situation is different, and I...

I've stuttered my whole life, and I know the anger I can feel at myself when I sound like a forgetful rambler in presentations, and have to gain pity smiles from people at school, at stores, any where...

I would probably say, this is what has helped me, is to say things as casually as you would talk to yourself. More often that not, even if you find yourself stuck on a word, you will regroup quickly i...

I felt that way when I was 16, I regret it now at (early 20s age). Stuttering makes everything in life 2x as hard from job interviews to talking to women....

I stopped having crushes on women and that helped me because in my mind she just a normal woman and I just talk to them like any other person it was all in my mind for me....

I've literally had my mother make fun of my stutter to my face before lol. Also when I was a teenage waitress I got my fair few comments like 'retard' and 'spaz'...

its the first 3 options for me. whenever i have a block while talking to someone, theyd just stare at me weirdly and it would make me feel very conscious about how i speak. when i have a serious block...

No one really reacts. Some may make fun, and that's fine cause I make fun too so it doesn't seem as bad too me. But mostly, people just sit in silence waiting for me to get done and in some ways, that...

I fucked up the oral presentation of my master thesis because of stuttering

I fucked up the oral presentation of my master thesis because of stuttering So I'm near the end of my College program and it was time for everyone to present their degree projects today. It went *dece...

Well done, this is right approach. I wish I'd been able to do that but, unfortunately, suffered 30+ years of shame and embarrassment. Wish you well....

Ehh doesn’t matter, at least we learn to have thick skin. But I’m sure a lot of us are used to it by now....

The feeling of not being good enough or being seen as anti social or not being able to be in your best is what hurts me the most, people may try to relieve you like take a breath or calm down but what...

I don’t get embarrassed or phased by what people say about me, at this point I’m just used to all of the laughing and the teasing....

Mine started when I was 5 or so. Gradually taking hold. I became so fearful socially, going to school. I couldn’t understand how others around me in school appeared to have no difficulty speaking in c...
