Bullying, stuttering and dating

Bullying, stuttering and dating Im 18M, never been on a single date in my life. Was bullied through school. Have a stutter (try to hide it every now and then) and am very socially awkward around women...

Relatable. Feels like the days I want to cut the tongue out of my mouth, throw it on the floor, and stomp on it...

This. Sometimes I have good days and I feel confident and at peace with my stutter. Then I hear a recording of myself, and I just cringe and loathe myself so badly. THIS is what people have to endure...

EXACTLY. I know this is true for regular people, but with a speech impediment it's SO much worst in my opinion. I cringe at every stutter or block. Then I watch videos of people who talk perfectly a...

I wanted my first post on reddit to be a separat post, but after reading this i just have to reply... I can relate to what the Threat creator written and eliquently described 90%... This is exactly ho...

of course! it feels like you're alienated when people stare at you, no matter the age. people tend to look at stuttering as an insecurity, so having people stare at you while you're exposing your stut...

Did shame ever made you cry ?

Did shame ever made you cry ? I had really bad stutter day today to the point, when i couldn't get most of the words out and then the stares, felt so ashamed. Sometimes it can be really such an emotio...

I think I could be happy if I didn't stutter (long read)

I think I could be happy if I didn't stutter (long read) Now I am sitting in my workplace and crying. I am a 24 year old man with a good job and stable income. I don't have much problems going on i...

I am the same. I have so much on my mind and would say so much stuff to people who need something to be said but my stutter prevents me from that. So I just stay quiet and composed. I feel the same th...

Oops, I meant to reply to another lady who said she never met anyone who stuttered. But yeah 3rd grade was very memorable. We had this kindly little old teacher and he always had this pitiful look wh...

I think it does kind if help shape who we are, but it’s also dependent on out environments. For example, I was raised in a household that always felt sad whenever I stuttered and my extended family of...

I get that, but it feels hypocritical to hold it against people for bothering them when it bothers me as well. I can't stand to listen to any recordings of myself, it's cringe inducing....

I worked as a cashier for a bit, had plenty of customers laugh at and berate me when I tripped up on my script or couldn't get a certain word out. It actually helped me become less embarrassed about i...

Agree to everyone here. I'm 27 and have stuttered since childhood. Only solution is to accept it as a part of your life. But I'm far from accepting it. I stutter and sweat and fear saying my name, tal...

i recently found out that i have stuttering my whole life and i never knew. at this point, i try to accept it as it is. similar to you, i can't say my name either, so you're not alone. it's frustratin...

You're probably right, I just hated the idea of people who know nothing of how horrible it feels to have dysphemia to have a stutter to pretend like they care about me...

Yeah.. I just guess I'm little heartbroken by her since last year she said to me "I know you have trouble speaking but you did well" (or sth like that) and now she does this.. But idk she is that kind...

This was heartbreaking to read. Hang in there. You should talk to your teacher. Stuttering is a disability. In the US, it is recognized under the disabilities act. Do not shame yourself for it getting...

Yea the pity used to hurt me the most as well. What emotions were at play the most? Anxiety? Embarrassment? Anger? Etc...

You have to let go of the embarassment then only you will be able to succeed. You cannot let embarassment hold you back. I know it is easy to say then do but only you can do this for yourself no one e...
