All too often and it just burns you :( there’s a lot of ignorance around speech impediments but if you see someone struggling without knowing what the issue is, as a decent human being why would you m...

Hope one day I can get over this feeling

Hope one day I can get over this feeling I feel inferior to people who can speak normally and I hate that I can't get over that feeling. Hopefully it'll disappear with time....

The more relevant types can be summed up by this example from Mark Irwin. Please carefully pay attention to the repetitions/social impact. 3 men chat in a bar. Tom's stutter is more obvious. TOM: I ...

Wear a hidden camera if they allow it. Good luck bro! I tried congressional speech and debate and a lot of my fellow contestants laughed at my stutter, I wish I had a hidden camera so I could show t...

Can you blame them? We're desperate for something that helps with our stutter. And whenever we find something like this, we obviously hope for it to be a miracle cure....

Thank you! I have been ashamed of my stuttering, but like you suggested I need to own it and be open about. I will try to change my mindset. It's a good first step...

Yeah it varies from person to person but I would absolutely feel embarrassed and coddled if someone said that to me. I really just prefer nobody bring it up at all....

I’m sorry. I relate. I would express my thoughts so much more and be myself if I didn’t have to worry about how I sound. It’s really sad....

How you look when you stutter

How you look when you stutter I've stuttered since I was 16, was basically suicidal from 16-23 and have only just been able to get by in life now when I'm 27. I still stutter but I never thought it wa...

You will always make the situation out to be worse then it actually was, I'd highly doubt anybody you stuttered to cares. No need to stress over what's already happened....

Easier than done though. How do I stop being uncomfortable and awkward about stuttering? It seems to be an automatic reaction that I have no control over...

Yeah, you are right. I can't run from it, but I'm just really tired of embarrassing moments in my life....

I'm at a point where I stopped talking almost entirely because I simply do not enjoy the constrictive feeling of stuttering, let alone the facial expressions of the people listening. Have you just got...

I didn't have much time to answer earlier, so pardon my brevity. I wanted to encourage you to correct the situation sooner rather than later. You WILL BE HAPPIER when you stop letting your stutter di...

I think it’s fine to discuss here. We need to practice putting ourselves in verbal situations that bring out shame - to learn that it’s less and less necessary....

That's a true statement. I suppose I've made small progress. Years ago I would never have gone for a call centre job, and now I start one this Monday! I do beat myself up a lot about such small em...

I still had my memories form my childhood, when I started to stutter. At first I only struggle with some words and I didn't care about it. But seeing the reaction from others quickly convinced me that...

I literally cried on the job. The other job a customer made fun of me and I quit the next day. My next job my employer mentioned it in a job interview and she fired me because I was “underperforming” ...

I’m sorry to hear that. I work in a profession where people (men) often make fun of me for my stutter. It’s not bad, like 3/10, but definitely when I start sentences or have to say my name it comes ou...

Thanks so much I think I will but I’m scared everyone will find out and just treat me different :/ there close in my place of work and I just want to keep a low profile if anyone understands. It just ...
