21M, this is my story living with a stutter

21M, this is my story living with a stutter I started stuttering at age 5, I don’t even remember stuttering back then. The only reason I know I did, is because my mom told me I did. I noticed it when ...

Can relate to this, my mom went to her grave without me ever been able to hold a proper normal conversation with her. I'm 61 now and it's in back of my mind I will prob die without ever been able ...

Totally relatable. Having a stutter is very isolating and frustrating. My advice is to tell yourself affirmations when going through bad speech phases. My favorite quote to remind myself is, “what I h...

I've honestly considered it. I initially came out here because I wanted to be around my family. I thought I would have some sense of community and support. But I've been proven otherwise....

Whenever I have a really embarrassing moment when I stutter, I can't move, i get all sweaty and I feel like I'm about to cry from embarrassment. Even though basically no one cares about my stutter, I ...

I agree with you it truly is a disparity. You and many others in this subreddit may relate to with this but people have fits of anger or disgust when grouped up with us. The other case of this is NO O...

I’m sorry you are hurting so badly. I’m 21 and going through the same thought patterns as you. It’s taken my will to live personally. Judgement is too much for me and I get it every day at work. I ...

I have pretty much the same one. Not some cute movie-like stutter where you repeat a letter couple of times. It’s physical and sometimes even my neck and shoulders hurt from it. I can’t recommend any ...

You are about 50 steps ahead of people like me here. I am older than you, dropped out of college, don’t have a job, never had a girlfriend. If it makes you feel better, I think you are doing great...
