I get steamed listening to people ramble on

I get steamed listening to people ramble on Just gotta blow off some steam, sorry in advance for ranting. I just realized why I get subconsciously upset listening to some people talk. It's a pet peeve...

I'm the only person in my whole family who stutters. It's really weird, and makes it harder because no one really understands. A lot of my family has other anxiety related things, though, so that part...

Actually my dad was probably too honest with me. Every time I ever had a bad experience or people would laugh at me I'd ask him "Why are people like this?". He would always tell me "people are shit", ...

Hey there, I have a twin brother, and we both had a stutter when we were younger. I realized I had it since midway through elementary school, but for my twin brother he was able to outgrow it the end...

Lost my mind a little bit, but that's about it. And I'm over most of the rest- I'm just damn confused about the stutter. I can't shake it....

Those experiences are the worst. I've had more than my fair share of days where I embarrassed the hell out of myself & felt like a piece of garbage. I only made it worse by obsessing about it &amp...

How does one 'live' with a stutter if it has real big time effects that stop me from doing just that?

How does one 'live' with a stutter if it has real big time effects that stop me from doing just that? Personally it would not be a problem for me if it didn't effect my life. I wouldnt care about it e...

Thank you. Yea, I realize that conveying what I want to say through speech is always going to be onerous and painful. That's why I try to find other outlets of expression :) As a stutterer, I'm always...

I loved reading this. For me I'm not a great writer but you really wrote that well. The thing that makes me most sad, for myself and you, is that we have all these ideas but can never vocalise them!!!...

I don't think I can ever be successful in life. My stuttering is holding be back so badly.

I don't think I can ever be successful in life. My stuttering is holding be back so badly. I'm writing this because I'm just frustrated and depressed. I feel like my stuttering is getting worse, when ...

That's a mental block and many believe you experience it because your unconscious mind is involuntary holding you back. If one blocks simply because they stutter then that means they can never impro...

It's tricky. You're focusing on not focusing on your speech. I think the issue lies in the fact that there is a need to "focus". There is effort being put in at some form. Whenever there is added...

I blame my parents...

I blame my parents... I've posted this on another subreddit, but I found this one and feel it is much more relevant here. First things first, I love my parents to bits and would totally do anything ...

You are hella right, I remember when I was little and could speak as much as I wanted without worrying; might be my lack of confidence, but I have yet to accept stuttering as a part of me now. It took...

You're complaining. To keep it short. No one is saying you should coddle people. I said that the victim mentality is part of the process. One needs to experience failure and a low before they'...

How do you glean that I've not made peace with the past? I'm interested in you expanding on how I am identifying with the victim mentality as well. Maybe I am, as I know exactly what it's like and h...

You have good intentions, but if you re-read your post you'll notice that you're speaking in far too many pronouns and identifying--ironically--with the victim mentality. You're motivated but have n...

Thank you both for the great posts! I generally agree, but with the nuance that "support" should not be feeding someone's addiction to being a victim or helping them maintain stuttering as an excuse....

I'd like to hear more. I'm 19 and i'm seriously losing hope. There's no way for me to improve. I don't want to carry on this life if this is all it will ever be....

Does a minor in Chemistry count? ;) I wanted to get a BS in chemistry or chemical engineering, but... I'm completely colorblind. *Shrug*...
