I agree! I know it has no intent on being negative or mocking me but it’s like I have to deal with this everyday and people think it’s the same....

ohhh i couldnt agree more! what boils my blood though is when i say that i have a stutter because i 1) want to be upfront with it to deal with it better and 2) avoid awkward situations ASAP and they i...

That sounds horrible man, and it’s even worse that you can’t even prove that it was down to your stammer. That’s also why I get so annoyed when people tell me to embrace it. Even if we “embrace” it, i...

I had to do "it" all over again like 3 times in the last 5 years. Hiring managers are the fuckin rake when it comes to stuttering. I've had to suck it up in the worst moments and walk out when it al...

I had a very severe stutter, now my stuttering is much more situational. In terms of technique, when I was very severe I think it does help to work on breathing from the diaphragm and speaking at th...

For does who believe their stuttering is severe…how do U cope?

For does who believe their stuttering is severe…how do U cope? I’m worried about my future and living life because I’m ashamed of stutter and recently it has gotten worst I believe I’m worried about e...

Seeking help (my story)

Seeking help (my story) It’s going to be a long read, and English is not my native language so excuse me if I make some mistakes. (25 years old male) I’ve stuttered for a while when I was a kid, bu...

Yes, stuttering makes life pretty terrible. People think I'm literally retarded. I wouldn't ever commit suicide but let's just say I'm glad life isn't that long...

Yea but when i was a kid and people would do that it made me feel like i *couldnt* do it or was less intelegent for some reason Now i rlly dont mind that part as much, its mostly the mocking that ann...

Apart from reading out loud, name the one thing in class or just in general as a kid you hated the most thanks to your stutter

Amazing advice but I find it hard accepting my stutter. Maybe because it’s the fact that iv just turned 18 iv got to deal with finding a job, relationships and adult stuff....

I would like to think like you, but I can't, i always feel like i lost a battle if i stuttered just once, can't deal with it, i just afraid that people would think that I'm stupid or something like th...

I absolutely remember the anguish and trauma I suffered as a child and teen stutterer. It does real and lasting damage. Some memories hurt to this day. I fully expected the pushback. I just had to ra...

It's all downhill

It's all downhill I hate people always downplaying my stuttering. Treating it like some common illness that will pass with time. It only gets worse really. A stutter affects your whole life, especiall...

As a medical student I've always been very worried with how my stutter will influence my ability to be a physician. Im so sorry this happened to you OP. I've also experienced ableism at school and it ...

Sorry this happened. This is the most frustrating feeling when you try to pick up some confidence and the teacher of all people says some shit like that? You shouldn’t have to explain yourself as you’...

If you don't explain your situation to the teacher, that person won't know that you have this problem and maybe you should not read publicly and get humiliating experiences/trauma. It was still a rude...

I’ve felt that frustration before. When I was a sophomore in high school, I had a teacher who LOVED to do popcorn reading. Every time it was my turn to read I would stutter so bad I could barely finis...

So fucking frustrated

So fucking frustrated This is just a rant. I had to read aloud in front of the class. I stuttered like crazy. Then after a few lines, I began picking up confidence but I was still shaking. From a 8/10...

Pushing through it is the only way my man. It sucks in the moment and is embarrassing but that’s how I’ve been dealing with mine....
