Always think I’m not going to be taken seriously.

Always think I’m not going to be taken seriously. So I did a few posts a while ago about my stutter when it was relatively new. Over time I’ve grown to accept that it’s just a part of me. And I see a ...

This is really sad, and I apologise. I once walked into a McDonald's to order something. Right off the bat I got the sensation that my stutter was going to be in overdrive mode. I just took out a pe...

I always envy those types of stutterers who either just don't "gaf" or are so comfortable in their own skin when they stutter. I'm way TOO self conscious and lack confidence in such situations. I wou...

When I was in highschool, we had to tell our grades to the teacher loud after an exam, so she could register them into the teacher's book (or I don't know the exact name for that book). I always found...

Crushed my confidence. I’m over 40 now and my stutter is something that comes rarely now. Whether it’s age, all the therapy I went through, outlook on life or whatever, it’s improved. I can honestly ...

Stuttering and how isolating it feels. I want to vent on here and ask for some advice, and I know many people are most likely in the same predicament at the moment, I have stuttered my whole lifetime,...

This was great to read. I'm also a software developer but I'm still at the "hiding in my cube" part of the story. I get on well with my colleagues and have no problem with talking to them. But I'm sti...

Thanks for sharing your journey and perspective. I’m in the middle of my career now and have found similar experiences. I wonder if many of the younger people have difficulty relating if they believe ...

A salesperson with a stutter just came to my house.

A salesperson with a stutter just came to my house. Doorbell rings, and it’s a salesman for a pest control service. As soon as he starts talking, I could hear what I’d call a mild/moderate stutter. Th...

I hesitated to tell me story, but here goes.

I hesitated to tell me story, but here goes. I'm new to the group with a few recent posts. I have debated telling my story because I was concerned about coming across as self-righteous or preachy. For...

There's a lot of posts here that handwave the concern of getting a job by suggesting "just be confident lol", and I believe this is absolutely harmful, and makes me think that people who suggest this ...

I agree with everything SammySparklyPanda and Semicoolon said. To add to their comments, I don’t think anyone should be defined by their stutter. I have a moderate to severe stutter where I block and...
