Does anyone else’s stutter make them come across as rude?

Does anyone else’s stutter make them come across as rude? Sometimes I just can’t get the words out so I don’t elaborate on what I’m saying. Or I come off as blunt when someone asks me a question. I fu...

Had one of those days today. I had to interview to see if I could get on a new project today, and I stuttered so much she ended the call while I was answering one of the questions. I want to be a pr...

I understand you perfectly. Sometimes people can't understand the impact of their words, especially when you don't know the pain that person goes through on a daily basis. Sometimes it's not words but...

Thanks for sharing your story. I can feel you, I also struggle to say my name, which is extremely frustrating. Sometimes I avoid so many situations that I feel not only frustrated but also mentally ex...

Its just so frustrating at times. I know if I didn't have a stutter I would be a completely different person and would have an entirely difference life than I do now. My goals and dreams are to become...

Keep pushing yourself bud and try to venture out and try to find other places where you can talk about your stutter freely. I feel like its holding me back a lot but you gotta remain positive....

In my late 30s and in the worst place I've ever been with my stutter.

In my late 30s and in the worst place I've ever been with my stutter. Just venting, I guess. Maybe someone can relate. I've had a stutter since I was a kid, and very quickly developed covert avoidan...

Same becoz of stuttering i don't have much friends or girlfriend is far off i dont speak much coz of stutter its like its holding back how to live...

People blaming you

People blaming you I don’t know if others have had this experience but for me, one of the worst parts about stuttering is how others view it. For me, people have always seemed to blame me for it, even...

Thank you for your response and kind words. I've isolated myself from everyone and don't want to be a burden. Or I tend to suppress to those who were in my life. I don't want to drop my baggage on to ...

Thank you for your response. Its inspiring that you have a stutter and you have a job that has to deal with a lot of talking. I wish I was as positive as you are but I have nothing going for me. Dropp...

Feels like Im living life at 5 percent

Feels like Im living life at 5 percent Im sorry if im so negative, its my first post on this section. Second post ever on reddit but its just one of those nights. Feeling really depressed tonight as I...

Yep. It would be awesome if you didn't stutter. And kids in Africa would be so happy if they could eat a full meal for once, or get clean water. And people born blind would be so happy if they could j...

I started to cry reading all of this. 34 here and stuttered all my life. Would never wish it on anyone. There is nothing you can do about it. I cant say anything these others havent said. Stutters now...

Bro I feel for you. Even though i’m just a kid, I dreaded the day (if it came to it) that I’d have a child that stutters. It breaks me to tears even when i think of it. All i can tell you is that your...

Yeah, it's the effort that really hurts. Friendships/relationships take time and I could never bother to spend a minute trying. I also don't know if I care that much these days either....

This is one of the most touching stories I have come across in recent times. I myself, I'm a 23 year old stammer with a learning difficulty and a poor communication skill, I must say it has been a dif...

First, let me say personally that this year has been TOUGH (2020...). I've heard similar things from many of my friends who stutter that this year has just been a hard speech year. Some of this may be...

Thank you for your response Dr. Yaruss! I really appreciate your time. For me, speech therapy left me feeling more helpless than I felt going in. Since then I’ve been super (maybe overly) hopeful of a...

My stuttering got worse from 10 percent to 70 percent last year, what may have caused this and is this something that can be fixed so that I can go back to living my old extroverted life...
