I am a 44 year old guy that has stuttered all my life. Nowadays it doesn’t bother me, and I don’t feel that it negatively impacts my life, but when I was younger it caused me a great deal of shame, em...

Let it be, don't think too much about it, if he loves or likes you really, he wouldn't care, if he makes fun of you or tell his friends or let another people talk about you, that's means he's not for ...

I found that adults (atleast in a professional setting) don’t mind it much. But I can see sometimes they look away awkwardly(whenever my eyes are not forced shut due to stuttering lol)...

This was wonderful. I enjoyed your thought journey, particularly these points: The part about the mask actually being on the wrong side is so true. A lot of our defenses are strangely counterproducti...

Yeah I joined today and I feel absolutely amazing. I recently started getting my self esteem back after I successfully defended my masters thesis. But sometimes it gets so bad that I cannot even order...

My stutter is so annoying

My stutter is so annoying God I hate my stutter, I’m sure people in this group have it worse then me but mine is so annoying I’ll try to explain it. When I was younger I had the a-a-a type stutter. I ...

Realised that I’ve been talking to myself a lot

Realised that I’ve been talking to myself a lot I don’t really talk that much to people, mainly due to the stutter and I catch myself talking to myself frequently. I think it’s getting kinda bad, my f...

I’m not an overly successful, but I’ve done pretty well for myself in tech startups. I’m 27 and I’ve have/ had all the same fears you have. The one thing I’ve learned is that being scared of doing som...

What I really got from her response is.. We literally make up in our own minds the worst case scenario 24/7 and we believe that to be true. I remember when my stutter used to be severe, I would as...

Introducing Myself

Introducing Myself Good evening everyone! I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful holiday! I (22 F) am a 6th grade History teacher, and I have been a stutterer for 11 years. My s...

Should I be more open about my stutter? I think me trying to hide it is causing it to worsen.

Should I be more open about my stutter? I think me trying to hide it is causing it to worsen. The faces that I get when I'm trying to get a word out to altering my wording might be causing me anxiety ...

Another engineer, civil/environmental. I haven't had to give any sort of presentation (yet) but I do have to do site visits, talk with clients, call various regulatory agencies on the phone, etc. I ch...

I have had that thought for 20 years when I made the realization that the fear of stuttering in a situation would trigger the stutter to happen, so I even tried going to a hypotherapist to see if they...

I know exactly where you are coming from, I've been there before many times and will be there again even after making huge progress over the years. I'm 38(m) and I have had a stutter since 1st grade....

it's really good that you shared in this forum - I didn't do this all those years ago. I stutter too but I can humbly say that I'm in a far better place having 'come out of the closet' big time a few ...

Yes, I told my doctor about my stutter and it turns out my insurance covered speech therapy. I spent years hiding it and not speaking when I could have had help for the past 10 years, which just made ...

Reminds me of this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster\_Study](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Study) I gotta say the times where I am fluent are the times where I forgot to worry about my...

One thing I've learned through over a year in speech therapy is going into it trying to hide it as much as possible usually doesn't help :( Whenever I worked (full time student now), I was worried peo...

Trust me and please again trust me. They do not care as much as you. What’s the worst that could happen when you stutter? In fact i would argue to stutter more. That way everyone at your job knows you...

This is extremely helpful! I agree with everything here. I used to work retail too, and it helped tremendously. My speech therapist calls it "turning your voice on" the more you talk the better or mo...
