It's not a joke, per say, but I work for TSA, and had just transferred to a new airport. My first week or so, I was asked if I could read a training scenario to the officers. I responded with "You w...

Not so much about the feeling but about the communication barrier, I've said it's like you're trying to type on a broken keyboard where some of the keys are jammed to either not work or spit out a bun...

Yeah, likely something during the call put her off, it doesn’t HAVE to be stuttering tho, there’s a million other things. Or if you want to think wild it could be her boyfriend found her account or ...

I have a really bad stutter when I was in high school. It's the reason why I consider my high school years to be hell. Over years of trying to find the cure, I think I have finally fixed it. It should...

Just my story in how I found a public/speaking career and KIND OF overcame my stutter (but still stutter all the time)

Just my story in how I found a public/speaking career and KIND OF overcame my stutter (but still stutter all the time) These posts are mostly therapy for the OP but maybe someone will get something fr...

Thing is I do have social anxiety, but it’s really based on how I’ll make a conversation awkward. It’s not even about judgement....

me too, i avoid socializing with people like an introvert but I would be an extremely extrovert person if I didn't stutter. I would love to talk to people, get to know them and make friends but I just...

I relate to this hella. I think if I didn’t stutter I would be really social and great conversationalist cause in rare periods of time when I don’t stutter that’s how I am. I just hate how my stutter ...

Probably try what the other person said though. Exposure is the best way to help when it comes to stuttering. Some meds can help but it’s not a full proof solution without getting out there and talkin...

She wouldn’t have just unmatched without giving any hint as to why though. She even stayed on the phone for 30 minutes before unmatching. She wouldn’t waste her time like that with someone she just wa...

Voice to text transcription will be the end of me 😂😂

Voice to text transcription will be the end of me 😂😂 I only use it when I’m texting with my gf while I’m driving. She usually understands what I’m trying to say and we both have a good laugh at it....

It's well-meaning advice but comes from a complete lack of understanding of the problem. For me, later in life, I do actually find it helpful to slow down in order to gather my thoughts, consider wo...
