Zero impact? That’s hilarious. Every minute of every day I have to predict, evaluate and analyze every word just to try to have a normal life. Stuttering impacts everything I do, be it good or bad....

YES I KNOW, and I feel terrible about it.. I never told him my worries because I don't want him to feel like he isn't enough...

I’m with you. I never tell people I stutter and I think it’s generally a bad idea to do so. Immediately when a person hears you have a speech disability, you are “mapped” in their brain as inferior. C...

Between my stutter, shyness and being overweight, I'm not sure what people dislike me more for. In most work/social/school settings I got the sense that I was "tolerated" by others. On occasion my stu...

I used to hate phone calls whole heartedly. I’ve gotten much better now. Zoom calls…not great unfortunately. Phone calls with someone you’ll never meet and holds zero importance to you (like ATT or y...

People don't usually have the patience to talk to me for very long, and sometimes they feel uncomfortable, but most of my friends and acquaintances seem to like me okay. I seriously go out of my way...

At my best I am 95 percent fluent. On average I am mild to severe. I have issues ordering food/tickets/ anything really. Its worse when I care how I'll be judged....

It’s so good to see someone speaking some genuine from-the-heart truth up in this bitch. Stuttering fucking blows. It’s undeniable. I don’t want to come across like some kind of asshole here, but t...

Hey! I’m 23m, I have a sever stutter (according to my speech therapist), I’m also about to start grad school for speech pathology…I also have been seeing a speech therapist for myself for the last li...

It should be obvious.. but it's not. I had a colleague admit to me recently that they thought I was just doing it on purpose this whole time. I'm not.. and it's not always apparent depending on the st...

Yes, thats exactly what I'm trying to tell you. You need be comfortable with yourself in whatever you're doing. I'm sorry you had to go through 'near total destruction' while trying to push yourself t...

You do you. Having empathy for others, and holding myself to a high standard are not my excuses to avoid conversation. The fact I have a severe stutter, along with a distinct aversion to contact of ...

Mute it and watch her face (mostly eyes). Looking down (breaking eye contact) is connected with those long, painful blocks. Try keeping eye contact....

An accurate side would be (this is coming from Me as a female who’s had one for 22yrs) that not all stutters are the same. Mine got bad when I was young but I was hushed by adults. I got therapy but t...

Half my team didn’t know I had a stutter, until my boss bitched about my stutter saying he can’t take me on client calls and doesn’t want to hire another person has a stutter. Then one of my team mate...

This is absolutely true. I do this all the time. I kind of mumble and leave out sounds that are hard for me. Sometimes I even leave out whole words in a sentence. People usually get the gist. It's lik...
