I just had a breakdown

I just had a breakdown I'm so depressed..... I am ignored in group conversations, I've got fake friends, everyone straight up ignores me when I'm talking to them....

I've pretty much given up

I've pretty much given up 16m. Just moved to another new school, AGAIN! My stuttering has just gotten worse and worse, I don't even try to talk anymore, so people think I'm rude. I don't see the point...

My stutter made me dread waking up everyday in all of my years of school. I was terrified to just say "here" when the teacher was doing the morning attendance. I have been made fun of by fellow studen...

Nothing positive has come out of it. I hate it, it has definitively decreased my quality of life, and I can never get a break from it unless I'm extremely drunk. It's made me very depressed and flat o...

I figured it was overstepping to tell people on their behalf, just wanted to ask for a second opinion. I didn't know it was legally considered a disability, that certainly makes how people respond mor...

I used to hate it. Sometimes it really annoys me, but I get more annoyed at the people who treat me like dogshit when I stutter. Now I’m definitely more accepting of it and 100% more likely to call ou...

As if my first response wasn’t long enough lol, here’s something else I’d like to add. I wouldn’t have a conversation with your team about the employee’s stutter for the reasons I already wrote about....

Thank you for sharing. That there are more left-handed people who stutter is a myth. Even if you stutter and are left-handed that does not make it empirically relevant. Some people own cats and stutte...

I inmediatly lose respect for those who react negatively to my stutter. It's soul-crushing enough for me having to push through this shit every day and people who make me think less of me because they...

What is your gut reaction when someone reacts negatively to your stutter and has that changed since your stutter first appeared?

What is your gut reaction when someone reacts negatively to your stutter and has that changed since your stutter first appeared? I am a grad student in Speech-Language Pathology and i’m currently taki...

I stutter a lot and it all began when I was little, it made me suffer a lot of bullying and for 2 years I didn't talk at all, I was just so down with myself and I felt like shit (I already suffering f...

Is there a phobia for people who stutter?

Is there a phobia for people who stutter? I was out today and wound up talking to this cashier lady at check out, everytime I stuttered I noticed she'd like physically recoil and look panicked even af...

Wow that’s inspiring to hear! I imagine high school kids can be far more ruthless than college students too. That’s good advice, that will certainly ease some tension in the room. I’m up for a challen...

I'll typically change the word to something absurd to throw them off. Me: "I'm going to the st-..st-.." Person: "Store." Me: "Stutterers convention. Ass."...

I knew I recognized that name, still has the same effect. You know, I know almost exactly how you feel. Im a graduate student. Last semester, I was in group that was horrible to me. The group got s...

Not that great. I sometimes make them make the mistake by saying “We’re so close, you’re finishing my s-s-s” They obviously say “Sentences” I reply with “Dinner.” They look at you weird but after hear...

I like it. If everyone knows what I'm saying, why should I have to sit there struggling? Although when my dad just starts saying random words that begin with the same sound, that's annoying....

My family thought i was stuttering for attention when i was 5. Was really crushing for me back then. Then last year, my crush made fun of my stutter in front of a few friends and they joined. Couldnt ...

Ugh, I'm so sorry. Siblings (and family in general) can be the worst. The most hurtful things said to me about my stutter have been from family members. Not just because the content of what they said ...
