I don’t feel the same but I can empathise with how you feel, as there is nothing worse than people laughing or thinking you’re messing around or something! Mine is bad enough that the first time peopl...

Can anyone else relate?

Can anyone else relate? Was glad to find this sub tonight, wanted to get this off my chest. I think I've always had a mild stutter. Is it awful of me to sometimes wish my stutter was worse? At present...

I don’t know how to tell you. But, I can tell you for sure I am totally with you. I have been dealing with my stuttering for a long time. It’s embrassing. Because all of people expect me to say as nor...

I do! Twelve year old me saw it as an attack. Ironically, this evil woman's name was Smiley. Jk about the evil. She has a good sense of humor....

I 'member my 8th grade teacher giving out joke awards at the end of the year and I won for "longest stories" She didn't know but it really depressed me....

My parents weren't precisely the best. Long story short abusive toxic behaviors including aggressions. Being a child stuttering didn't help that much....

I had the classic LMAO ALL YOU NEED IS TO RELAX, LET'S CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR ANXIETY YOU DISGUSTING CRIPPLED CHILD parents. Unsurprisingly it all went much smoother and better when I left home....

I stressed myself out for the interview but didn’t even get the job.

I stressed myself out for the interview but didn’t even get the job. Now I’m left wondering if I didn’t get the job because they noticed my stutter (I stuttered a fair bit in the interview) or because...

Same. I just had to speak in front of a class of 30+tonight and I want to die. It was bad...

It’s really not the “cute” part that gets me, it’s the noticing that does. I’ve been told this before and I immediately think “fuck all this time I was trying my hardest to hide it and you still notic...

Say, I'm curious: Why do you dislike being called cute? I mean, it could've been your hair - or your shoes - or your dancing - or your freckles - or whatever. This just happens to be your stutter. Wha...

yeah i dont like it as well, i dont like when the thing that has been pulling me down gets called cute, if its so cute then anyone else can have it, i never asked for it...

I am an Arab so in this case I was speaking Arabic. Soo my mom told me to go to the neighbour's and give them a dish for a specific person that person's name was angi soo I went and was feeling anxio...

This. I did Hollins Reseach Institute back in the 90s. I think it helped a lot at first but there is a lot of practicing involved but dealing with your own perspective and the emotional change is a ...

I have been through a few of these and I can say they absolutely don't tackle the emotional aspects of stuttering. I am still working on that. Physically? Yes these programs can change your stutter......

Oh, I see you're not into relativizing the term "suffering" a bit, then. It's become something you predicate about people way worse off. Gotcha. :) I would've told you that stutter is indeed sufferin...

I'm against it in this instance because I'm not suffering. Stuttering sucks and I hate it but I'm not suffering. If I were, I wouldn't have gotten as far in my life as I have. And my mom and I have ta...

"but for all of us in the family."? Does that mean your stuttering is a hardship on your family?...

Wow, I'm sorry that happened. I can totally relate to getting them right before bed and then it makes it even harder to sleep. When I was in 7th grade everyone took turns pairing up with someone from ...

I get it a lot, but as a stutterer I know that I am going to stutter, there is nothing I can do to not stutter(I have a block, which means speaking slow won't help) I just keep it in my brain and wait...
