This is exactly how I feel. Everytime I show any confidence I'm kicked down. It's nearly impossible to live the life I want without constantly being Ridiculed. It's taken a huge toll on my mental sta...

Does this happen with y'all?

Does this happen with y'all? Some days when I practice speaking a lot before mirror, I barely stutter. However, barely stuttering on the sentences makes me very confident. I, then, get lost in thought...

I do that all the time. It doesn't help at all. For me, it's just a bad habit that stems from the embarrassment that comes with stuttering in social situations....

It isn't a universal rule not to suggest the word for them. For example, I generally like it since it just saves me a bunch of effort and gets the conversation moving again. So asking what they want i...

This has happened to me a few times too, the most recent incident about a year ago. I was ordering take out over the phone, and the restaurant worker said “I’m sorry, but I think the connection is dro...

It makes so much sense to me! I to am a lifelong stutterer and have had and still have many of the same feelings as you...feeling inferior, like an outsider, not accepted etc. I am a bit older, 40...a...
