That’s certainly possible. I just checked and I have over 12,000 notes on my phone app, even though I often delete things I write down. And it’s all communication related stuff. I feel like I’m in to...

I immediately tell people I stutter when we interact and it doesn’t take much pressure off for me. I still feel like a ‘retard’ all the time for lack of a better term. It’s not even that people are ...

When you guys are ordering food , do you guys only order those food which you think you can say without stuttering? Just had this thought, when I order food I only tend to order the ones which I think...

Same. It has to do with not wanting to be noticed and stuttering being a form of defence mechanism to hide or block yourself out. Impersonation is pretty much you not being yourself which you don’t mi...

Stop saying we have to “deal” with our stutter

Stop saying we have to “deal” with our stutter We shouldn’t have to deal with something that effects our mental health tremendously and sometimes even physically hurts our jaw or muscles. I’m 16 and I...

Only a stutter is holding me back

Only a stutter is holding me back I'm in the process of trying to join the Air Force. I've done everything up to this point perfectly, eligible age, passed the physical, no criminal or drug history, a...

I'd like to share a story

I'd like to share a story I'd like to share an experience from when I was on a stammering/stuttering course in Scotland in Autumn 2003. I was 11 and there was a mix of adults and children from all ove...

I can’t say my own name at times

I can’t say my own name at times I find it so frustrating that at times I’m not even able to say my own name . Normally I make up a fake name when I get asked and it’s just so embarrassing especially ...

Stuttering

Stuttering I’ve stuttered for as long as I can remember and there’s cycles of when I’m ok with my stutter but as a 22 year old, it’s very difficult for me to be ok with it. I feel like it holds me bac...

From what you’ve saying, I don’t think that anyone at your work knows that you stutter. I know you must feel like that is maybe embarrassing, but why don’t you disclose ? You can say after introducing...

This! Especially when they don't know I'm a stutterer as I'm usually able to hide it, except for my name.....

I usually don’t tell people, and don’t plan to unless directly asked. That being said though, I haven’t had anyone ask or even bring it up yet. But I assume they definitely can tell, because when I ...

Speech therapy advice Hi all. My brother has a moderate/severe stutter since his birth, we think due to being born at 24 weeks. My parents REFUSED to get him help when he was younger, now he’s 28 and ...
