Stuttering and social anxiety is ruining my teen years.

Stuttering and social anxiety is ruining my teen years. Sometimes the teachers call on me and I end up stuttering and it fucking sucks when I hear laughter, sometimes I get anxiety that I’m am about t...

Very impressive. So I assume your blocking diminished as your fear decreased over those 4 months? What is it like now to think about stuttering? Is there any residual shame/fear left? Are you ever afr...

I was talking out-loud to myself by physically making sounds out my mouth. I don’t do an inner-monologue either, to me it feels like I’m ’cheating’. I’d rather not even formate a sentence at all when ...

Well, saying this thing in front of other people kinda rude in my opinion, since when you ask that question you basically talk about mental health, and that's private stuff, but I guess he wasn't real...

Hey man, I also have a pretty severe stutter (blocks). I feel like I do better in group situations where I can bounce off multiple people; it helps ease some of the anxiety. I personally enjoy raves, ...

Absolutely not and I would argue the opposite using the examples you gave. Your professors may have been judging your presentation by the content and not the delivery which is fair. If they were in fa...

Thank you! Truth be told, I’m very hesitant about the idea of fundamentally accepting. I’ve always accepted for the sake of getting comfortable with it, which can hopefully lead to less stress thus mo...

Not really. I do have an IEP so I don’t have to present in front of the class but I did have to privately with a teacher or video record my self presenting. But besides that, I found it hard to make ...

Before pills, there may be other things you can try. For me it was to cut off and walk away from that which gave me some of the worst anxiety. It is not to avoid stuttering situations or anything bu...

Due to anxiety lately my stutter has been the worst it’s been in as long as I can remember. But……you and I are not the only ones. Keep pushing forward. Whenever I feel low I always watch the Tom Hanks...

You don’t need years of a dysfluency degree to know what a stutter is, it’s one of the most common disabilities in pop culture. Idk, you’re right that there’s people out there who are genuinely carin...

My manager told me, you are overthinking about this. It’s not a big deal at all. Don’t worry about it....
