Thats a very long time with someone, kudos to you! Thats actually some very good advice to be open about your stutter. Back then when I did date I would try to hide it so hard. Whether it be saying on...

I'm 30 years old now, but when I hear "popcorn reading" my heart skips a beat to this day. That experience legitimately caused some PTSD....

I even had to give a speech as if reading wasn't enough:D I was panicking till the very last minute but did it somehow. Still, I wouldn't want to go through it ever again, it's so depressing. And abo...

I can't even imagine about reading something in public and i don't stutter much normally, but speaking/reading in public and over the phone are my nemesis. One of the most embarassing times of my life...

I know how difficult it is to be in that position. I've been evading things all my life and I can't and don't want to do it anymore. It's ruined my life so bad that I've missed out on so many opportun...

Advice on my 8 year old son would be extremely helpful. New to this sub.

Advice on my 8 year old son would be extremely helpful. New to this sub. Hello all. Father to an incredible 8 year old boy. He has adhd and a severe stutter. It seems in the last 2 years to be getting...

It’s horrible. I hate it. Just last week, I asked the cashier at a rite aid/cvs (don’t want to say which for obvious reasons) if they had something. He said he wasn’t sure, & said that he could “...

Facing My Fears

Facing My Fears I want to share a thought, from a journey that I embarked on a few months ago and what I’ve learned coming out the other side.. Like I’m sure with many people, growing up I had a stu...

In my school we had to take permission from our teacher to go to washroom but I had developed avoidance because of my stutter and used to leave classes whenever I saw the opportunity to. Some teachers...

Yeah that was also my parents, they don’t understand that it’s not something you can control at all. Being ashamed of it is just going to harm you in the long run, so don’t listen to whatever they say...

Omg yes, my parents also say similar things to me:( like “ if you would practice reading, you could get rid of it” “you only have stutter because you're forcing your mind into having it”. I stutter f...

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...

I’m ashamed of it, embarrassed by it and I have a lot of anxiety over it. Now I still live my life. I do the things I have to do like phone calls and I don’t avoid people or anything like that. But in...

I've 100% been in your shoes. I know exactly how disappointed and scared you feel because I have gone through the exact same thing. One time I worked really hard to get an interview - kept dropping of...

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...

Yeah, it's really affected my life too... I just get so tired of hearing people say stuff like, "haha did you forget your name" or something of the sort. But I really like the idea of wearing a neckla...

Wow. People truly don't understand the amount of emotional baggage that comes along with stuttering. I was on the opposite side of the spectrum (I was more outgoing and was bullied because of it), but...

I’m a 22-year-old female. I’ve stuttered all of my life. When I was a child, my stutter was severe. Now, I would say my stutter is very mild. I go through periods where I don’t stutter at all, but I a...

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...

I can't believe someone would call ur stutter unprofessional. That's so ridiculous, call them out on that bs. Making fun of someone's disability it harassment and that's completely stupid. I wish you ...
