Registered nurse 30 f single i’m anxious every day I go in, but somehow I get through it. My patients speak highly of me. Also, somehow, I’m enrolled in a masters program now. I was told by a speech t...

I can understand. I've had people think I was mentally challenged bc I talk slow when trying to think of words and get them out. If someone laughs, give them back a fake laugh and say "I know right?"...

Mines mild. Made worse by stress and anxiety. Absolutely despise reading because I can’t filter out the words I struggle on. Noticed my stutter improves ten-fold with Prozac - anyone else?...

Well written essay, I enjoyed reading it. It is especially hard to deal with a heavy stammer during childhood, I've experienced it myself. What you said about it breeding compassion, humility, etc....

mild but used to be severe a couple years back, i’ve just eased myself into making friends and at least slightly built my confidence. Sometimes it comes back in full force though, which makes me lose ...

Rude Comments at Work

Rude Comments at Work I work as a hostess where I talk to people all the time. I get comments or people laugh and like it’s fine I brush it off. But I was already feeling emotional last night and toda...

To me the essence of that phrase is "No one (worth spending the time to associate yourself with) cares if you stutter (if disclosed). Your coworkers probably won't care that you stutter. But right no...

Because they don’t. The majority of people don’t care. They are way more concerned about themselves. The only time they do is that 1% of time. We tend to remember that one more…...

You’re right, it is like an accent to some degree. But this doesn’t change the fact that now my coworkers are gonna think something is wrong with me. I’m worried my boss is gonna think I’m incapable o...

Math & Programming

Math & Programming All my life, I’ve never understood how someone who stutters can be good at math and programming. There are many stutterers who work as software engineers, but for me, the inability ...

The problem is, people don’t care what you say; all they care about is how you say it. The sad reality is that a foolish person who talks nonsense can find someone, but we, no matter how intelligent w...

It's definitely a adrenaline/ptsd response in my opinion. Alot of us where probably humiliated as a kid and it created a stronghold or automatic fear reaction in our mind. Now that we're older it's al...

Catfishing on dating apps

Catfishing on dating apps I feel like I am a catfish on dating apps, in the same way as if somebody hid that they sat in a wheelchair. I like talking online (for obvious reasons), but I know that the ...
