I mean I wonder that it as well, but like when I’m with people I know, or at work, I’m usually loud and outgoing. I notice it more when I’m around people I don’t know. Like for instance when I was in ...

With me its wierd because im also a kind of a quite type but i dont know if it is because i stutter or it is just who i am. Do you wonder that to?...

Does your stutter make you quiet?

Does your stutter make you quiet? This is something that intrigues me because while I wouldn’t necessarily say that my stutter causes me to be the quiet type, it is something I would say that does aff...

Yeah, my husband didn't even BELIEVE me at first when we finally had a conversation about my stuttering. He genuinely hadn't noticed, even though I was struggling so hard to get a particular word out ...

I think you should picture yourself in a relationship and ask yourself how much you'd confide in your significant other. Do they need to understand your situation entirely, or is it enough to be polit...

I have a good handful of close friends (and many acquaintances) but I only discuss personal matters with them through text. I could hold longer conversations that way, and I do trust my friends/feel c...

Thank you for sharing this! I really liked how you described that it wasn't your speech that limited you, but that it was your feelings about your speech. This is definitely something I struggle with ...

Yes, this. Things aren't as poetic and dramatic in reality as what we imagine. Humility tends to go a long way too whether we want it to or not. In classroom settings people would assume I'm smart bec...

You're not going to be able to hide your stutter forever. Just go up there and do your best....

welcome! i hear ya, i've been there. honestly, what has helped me the most over the years is accepting that i have a stutter and appreciating/loving myself and not being bothered by it. easier said ...

That lines up with my experience of the one girl I know in real life who stutters. I'll talk to her for five minutes and then wonder how I got to know her and I'll be like oh right she stutters. She's...

Female stutterer here. Personally, I think there may be more women stutterers than people realize, but that women are better at 'covert' stuttering, and therefore don't necessarily go to speech therap...

How I overcame stuttering in a week

How I overcame stuttering in a week Little back story, I've had a stutter since 4 and had therapists up until mid 20's, I've attended the Mcquire programme and the starfish programme here in the UK. I...

Stuttering sure is my number one thing. But I have a very severe one, which makes it hard to show my real personality and wit....

I met my bf on tinder, I feel like it's how a lot of people meet these days so I'm not ashamed to say it lol! I felt more comfortable messaging first because then I could get my personality across an...

Outing myself

Outing myself I’ve been a PWS since I was around 3 years old. I’m now 26 and, while my stutter is very mild, it still deeply affects me emotionally and limits the things I allow myself to do. I’m not ...

The older I got, the less I needed to do that or cared. It's only an elephant if you make it one. Everyone has problems and no one cares. They already know you stutter. You already know they have a bi...

I didn't like discussing it for the longest time but I've worked through it. Now I make it clear that I'm open to questions about it and that I'm ok with repeating myself when necessary. Personally ...

Yes! I agree! If you’re comfortable with it, people will not care and it won’t bug them :) My stutter is not the only thing people see in me......
