I agree with you..feels much worse to fail over and over and see people around you trying not to have a reaction or make you feel awkward and knowing that you wanted to tell a lighthearted/funny story...

That advice is that link is so psychological damaging to the poor kid. You're making his stuttering a taboo subject, which will cause feeling of shame for him. You can't just ignore something like a s...

I take so much issue with this, I don't even know where to start. I guess with the presumption that the majority of stutterers don't have a familial link (citation???). Or maybe with the weird hardl...

This got me teary-eyed.. The popcorn reading part got to me so hard.. I know so many of us can relate to that. It's literally the worst feeling in the entire world....

The Devil I Know

The Devil I Know I’ve gained so much perspective from reading the stories of others on this subreddit, I wanted to take a moment to tell my story with the hope it will help others as well. My stutte...

My girlfriend's experiences

My girlfriend's experiences Before starting this, I as well as my girlfriend both stutter (I know, we got lucky lol). She didn't want to make a Reddit account so she wanted me to post it for her. She'...

It’s weird, when you start to pay attention to it, you don’t do it as much but you can’t always remain as attentive to it. I was at Best Buy today trying to talk to a worker about TVs and I just could...

I feel the same way, especially when I was around 14, I was so insecure which just worsened my stuttering. Just relax, ofcurse it won't stop it, but try to accept when it happens ...

I would do things you fear, and after you do them and feel bad or ashamed or embarrassed, take some time and sit with those emotions. And realize you can be with them and be ok. And in time, you'll st...

Tfw you cant call your boss "boss" because you block on the B so you refer to him as "upper person"

Tfw you cant call your boss "boss" because you block on the B so you refer to him as "upper person" When I talk to my coworkers when I need to refer to my boss I say upper person. Get a weird look eve...

One of my favourite movie. But its one of those movies I dont want to discuss with anyone. Because then the topic would turn to stuttering and its kinda annoying to see people pitying over you...

It's not about being *smart*. This has nothing to do with common sense, which I'm sure most of us have. It's about being broke, and friendless, and loveless, and destitute, and unable to connect with ...

Mindfulness to get rid of negative emotions towards stuttering

Mindfulness to get rid of negative emotions towards stuttering Hello my fellow friends, something to clarify that I am not an English native speaker I apologize in advance if you're unable to understa...

Back in middle school, I dreaded public speaking because of my stutter. My face would get beat red. I remember in 7th grade I did a speech on Florida for my Social Studies class. I ended up messing u...

Sorry, I should clarify that I was being a bit tongue in cheek with that example! Though oddly enough, I personally found that I was able to act in high school; my stutter was non-existent in that par...

I have mixed feelings about your happy ending because I turned down theater roles in school BECAUSE of my stutter. (I'm a covert stutterer too.) There was no way I was going to stutter on stage and ha...

Table for One - a Poem about Stuttering by me

Table for One - a Poem about Stuttering by me **Table for One** I can be a very good listener. If God willed, I could also be a good Talker. I am not mute. If I were mute, perhaps I could learn si...

Oh man, I know that "look". It puts me in such an awkward position, I don't know if they're expecting me to acknowledge my stutter, but at the same time I don't want to acknowledge it because I'm afra...

I wish she knew to not take away any hopes I had of overcoming it. Ever since I was a kid with a stutter I believed one day I would overcome it and be fluent. One day towards the end of my junior year...

Honestly I blocked most of it out it was so horrible. Here is what I do remember though. I made it my mission to speak as little as possible be it to classmates during projects or the teachers, I was ...
