The fear,anxiety,humiliation and embarrassment caused by stuttering can be crippling. Only someone with stutter can understand your pain. What helped me deal with fear and anxiety was starting med...

Yeah if you think it might make you more comfortable, can be as simple as “hey, I just wanted to let you know I stutter so speaking in this class will naturally be a little more difficult for me.” You...

I'm 52 and I know the exact situation you described ! Nothing worse than a grown ass man feeling like a little kid in front of a room full of people. I've been in that situation all my life and thou...

I knew I kinda stuttered but I never felt it was a huge deal, it never stopped me from being a bright, happy, extroverted child. My elementary school was actually really advanced and honestly a very g...

Left my bedroom to face life now

Left my bedroom to face life now so I was preparing for national level exams which I have cleared(with 1 year of dedication) and now we are having trainings in which we have to improve our communicati...

Going off of this, a lot of people who don’t even stutter are uncomfortable talking about it with people who stutter. Having that conversation about something so introduces a level of “intimacy” that ...

Stress/anxiety/environment are the biggest, but some level of genetics probably plays into the severity as well. I find that my stutter is at its worst when I’m particularly stressed/anxious, or I am ...

There’s some great advice being given here, but I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t think it’s pathetic. It makes total sense to feel anxious about public speaking. We stutter, of course speaking ...

Your right man 100%. I know anxiety is real because I've lived with it my whole life. I'm not saying it's pathetic to be a little nervous but the fact that I'm still nervous & haven't accepted this im...

I am similar. I struggle with introductions and I struggle when speaking in front of groups. I self advertise, it is all I can do. “Hi, I am … …. … Rrr ….. …… geez …. Rokkitt. I have a stutter and ap...

Stuttering is definitely proportional to baseline anxiety. I always stutter harder and more frequently when I’m nervous, excited, surprised or overwhelmed...

I'd tell the instructor that I stutter and it's too much for me to present in front of others. I'd take that embarrassment over blocking, stuttering, and sweating in front of a group of people any day...

Those activities might seem identical on the surface, but they are actually two different things. One is talking to yourself, one is talking to someone else. There is no social element to talking to...

Your 100% right brother. Everybody should ask for help and accept themselves. But for me & the masculinity thing it doesn't make sense ill admit. But it's still another thing that makes me feel innept...

My stutter is at its absolute worst when I'm speaking in front of groups, so I hope I can understand how hard it is-- for me, and it sounds like for you, not only in the moment but also in the build-u...

I understand. I don’t stutter much these days, but I’ve had embarrassing moments in the past. Perhaps try to speak with others before the instructor starts class. It may help you if you know others i...

Problems with speaking infront of crowds

Problems with speaking infront of crowds I feel like for a man in his 30s still being nervous about talking with other people around is pathetic and it's something I hate myself for & still haven't fo...

I feel you 100% I am 27 years old working long hours at Amazon warehouse just to be able to afford a living. I live in London, so as you can imagine it is also very expensive to live. Having a stutter...

I'm 21. I recently got out of a heavy alcohol abuse cycle that ended with me showing up blackout drunk to a brunch at 11 am. It was my "wakeup call", and after an intervention the next day I broke the...

It's weird how we stutter when talking to someone on the phone versus recording something on the phone I know I'm not the only one with this phenomenon. When you're by yourself, you can speak with eas...
