I can't accept my stutter when I read out loud. If I would stutter all the time when I speak then yeah I could accept it, now I just can't. But I can try to read in accents, for example many in our la...

Hearing stuff like this really pisses me off, you tried your best and getting condescending looks from others while all you’re doing is trying, is a horrible feeling. If someone told me that it would ...

Hey I know you're feeling like shit. And it's a terrible feeling because you couldn't have done anything to really prevent this from happening. Despite that I will say that how your classmates and you...

I'm so sorry! in 4 years ago, I did a presentation with 2 classmates. I already narrowed my part more than once. and even then I couldn't find synonyms to all words. so I was there, spoke 3 words and ...

completely screwed up my presentation

completely screwed up my presentation Did a 10 minute presentation with a partner. Stuttered and blocked from start to finish. Stuttered to the point that my partner deliberately spoke on more powerpo...

I still remember the face of a girl in college, sniggering when I was giving or atleast trying to give a presentation. And way back in high school, I had to read out loud in my class, my English teac...

I understand what your saying because every time I stutter in class I feel embarrassed for a few minutes...

Thank you very much, that means a lot. I get embarrassed about where I work as people my age are on much higher paying jobs than me. I forget to reflect on how far I’ve come and how, at one point, I t...

Honestly these people just don’t know how to handle the silence of your blocks. That’s why they laugh or mimic you. You shouldn’t let any of these people get to your head. I’ve had my share of “did yo...

I think a lot of it is general ignorance about stuttering. Most non-stutterers don’t seem to be aware that stuttering is a genuine speech impairment and not just something that pops up every now and a...

I thought about this a long time ago! I stutter on a few specific letters (mainly L which is what my name starts with) and people ask me all the time if I forgot my name. I know it can be frustrating,...

I’m pretty fluent at this point in my life, but just the other day I woke up in a panic when I realized I was going to a meeting where I would have to introduce myself to a group of people. I usually ...

I guess so. It’s just so frustrating. Because I’m not a socially awkward or anxious person. In fact when I’m with a group of people I know I’m talking all night and quite often find myself centre of a...

This is exactly how I feel most of the time. Them: “Hi my name is such and such” Me: “Hi...” Then I feel like an idiot and all day everyday for days if not weeks and I go over and over it every s...

What happens when the fear moves to the new name and you begin stuttering on it again?...

yesss, my name starts with an I and ugh I get alot of blocks with it. I elongate it but it's embarrassing...

It's something that crossed my mind. But ultimately I couldn't think of any name that was both noticably easier to say, and still felt like me. In my job introducing yourself to new people is very ...

It’s certainly an idea but the new name may then become a problem word. I guess a name is a problem word (for me anyway) as it’s not a word that can be substituted. It gets better with older age and...

Got called “drunk” on the phone

Got called “drunk” on the phone I was at work today talking to a client on the phone, and my stutter was so bad that they called me drunk. I tried my best not to cry and held it together, and I put hi...

Has anyone changed or wanted to change their name because of their stutter?

Has anyone changed or wanted to change their name because of their stutter? I’m at a bit of a crossroads. I have a stutter but I’ve become so good at managing it over the years that many people I firs...
