I understand this pain too. Feeling anxious has made me skip events and classes before. If I dare to I could go back to every negative in my life and connect it to stuttering somehow. Hang in there....

Not being able to accomplish a simple task such as talk on the phone. Because of this I feel inferior to normal people who can speak as easy as breathing. ...

Chances are, they never will. Depending on who they are, you should just say something along the lines of "I'm glad your alright now, I'm still hanging in there" and move on with your life. They won...

Being held back. I love chatting via text because I can cleanly convey my thoughts, humour and whatever it is I want to say. In person, I avoid many of the chances for conversation or input during a c...

In 8th grade I won this student of the year award, and had to attend this ceremony. Prior to the ceremony I had no idea that each person from each school had to go up and say there name and what schoo...

I understand how you feel. Just went to an event last night with a bunch of people from work. Felt like I couldn't contribute to the conversations at all. What made it worse was a girl whom also works...

I remember switching schools to go to highschool when I was a freshman and being terrified. The first day of class we had to introduce ourselves. I was so nervous I could barely say my name when asked...

So true, there is no rhyme or reason to this condition. You can speak several long sentences fine then you hit a block from hell out of nowhere. That's what makes it so emotionally exhausting....

You're right, the analogy was somewhat flawed because obesity is a self caused condition. A condition that can be overcome rather easily with strong enough willpower. A stammer on the other hand is a ...

It doesn't work like that with stuttering. I have been busting my ass the past 20 years to reduce the severity of my stuttering. Tried every therapy available in my country. But all I got from it was ...

I have also spent a lot of time being unemployed. Last time was about 6 months, but i just got a new job a month ago. The reason i was unemployed that long was completely my own fault though. I just w...

I relate to most of the stuff that you are saying. I have spent many years hating myself and blaming all of my issues on my stutter. Most of them have their roots from it sure, but at some point you j...

Is this it? Is this shit all I will ever live for?

Is this it? Is this shit all I will ever live for? Fuck this. Please don't read this if you don't wanna ruin your mood. I can never succeed in anything. Nothing emotional here, I am just speaking fr...

Covert?

Covert? Does anyone else here just not speak when they block and wait until it comes out without actually audibly stuttering? For example, if I'm in a group and I go to say something but feel the bloc...

Sometimes I really don't like visiting this sub

Sometimes I really don't like visiting this sub All you folks mirror my own feelings on life with stuttering (which are, well, cynical to be concise) way too accurately! Seriously, stop being so much ...

Short Job rant.........failed my 5th McDonald's interview. Got the call, manager saw me, everything was good. Until as usual I opened my mouth that is. A fucking train wreck Is what followed. As expec...

I hate it too. That's why I don't talk much. Therefore my family thinks I'm antisocial, I'm about to lose my job because I don't interact well enough, every girl I know thinks I'm weird, I have no fri...

Hmm. Maybe as a last resort, could you go to the unemployment office to see what temporary jobs they might have?...

I wish i knew. I've never had a job, and i just cant seem to get one no matter how hard i try. ...
