Problem for me is the perception people have towards stuttering. Most people do not consider it a disability. They see it as a weakness that you have yet to overcome. If you're mute or deaf nothing o...

Taken it seriously as a problem. I grew up in the 70s/80s, when there probably wasn't as much understanding about it. Both of my parents seemed to think that I just needed to slow down, take a breath,...

I feel this so hard. I've been there so many times. I'm mostly a covert stutterer which means I'm constantly trying to find other words for the word I can't say. But sometimes there are no other words...

I was blisfully unaware of my stutering as a child too. It was until my teacher in second grade made me go to the psychologist of the school and then made my parents send me to speech therapy. I remem...

I was about that age when my mom told me I wasnt speaking right and had to see a therapist. Until that point I had no idea. Maybe I didn't start until after first grade, as I would love show and tell ...

If her stutter doesn't bother her, then I'm not sure speech therapy is necessary. I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember. My parents did put me in speech therapy when I was in elementary...

Good to hear that you were encouraged and people were supportive of it but here it's totally a different scenario. Here, they wait to comment on one other (although it's a religious gathering) I'd rat...

I don't know how to avoid it

I don't know how to avoid it There's this religious activity that I do every weekend just like others (I'm being vague because I don't want to give much details making it identifiable) and there are t...

I feel like if people didn’t perceive it as a negative I wouldn’t be feeling depressed about it. It’d just be a part of me. Unfortunately I’ve been mocked for it by my own friends. Its hard to forget ...

I woke up feeling the same way. I miss being “fluent” even though I don’t remember how was it like since I started stuttering at the age of 9. Sometimes I just like to remind myself that stuttering ...

I feel like insecurity, low self confidence are huge factors of why we stutter. As well as traumatic experiences, problems with our neurodevelopment, and maybe other neurological disorders etc. I don’...

This is dope I’ve had tips where I questioned why do I stutter It was a whole insecurity thing I feel And it’s true when your tripping I’m 95% fluent I don’t know why. but next time I’ll focus more...

This really is me. When I try to tell stories, it never works out. I imagine it as being beautifully explained, with well timed humour and voice inflections to convey dramaticism or whatever. Bu...

Not being able to share stories

Not being able to share stories After I got left out *yet again* by a group of people I hoped to be friends with, I sat down and thought. Stutter aside, what about me makes me unable to connect with o...

I relate to your experience a lot. It’s so fucking painful. And to think some people would blame you and say “you should’ve made it clear you wanted to hang out with them!” Like anyone else has to do ...

Haven’t had those type of feelings in awhile, but I am too often hard on myself and disappointed thus(?). At this point, I would rather be embarrassed then hold back from confidently stuttering cause ...

Update about my suicidal thoughts because of my stutter!

Update about my suicidal thoughts because of my stutter! Hey y’all <3 Let me just start by saying that I was overwhelmed by the amount of support feedbacks and messages I got when I shared my thou...

Does anyone else find it difficult to make friends?

Does anyone else find it difficult to make friends? People just don’t see me as worth their friendship. No matter how nice and funny I am, how I try to relate with them, in the end I’m ignored/the las...

My god this is one of the most frustrating parts of having a stutter. When you have something funny to say, then try to get it out in conversation and you just trip over yourself and suck the humor an...

I know the feeling. I have a lot of witty comments at times but I just don't make them because I know they will lose the effect as they come out with a stutter....
