I know right , letting go doesn't come as easy to me also . I find it really hard to stutter openly . If I do stutter openly , the word doesnt just come out. I almost always have to circumlocate aroun...

Well I am in the same boat.I find it really confusing if I am really introverted/shy or its just due to my social anxiety/stuttering that make me avoid social situations as a whole....

This is EXACTLY my case.I am a covert stutteter,and when I tell my friends that I stutter, they say that I never stuttered infront of them. I have stuttered but I think it's not as worse as it seems t...

Hey there, thank you for your answer! I’m feeling sorry for you, the weekend sounds very exhausting! There is absolutely no need to feel selfish about this. Stuttering is already a burden, you shoul...

Hey, this sounds good for you! You seem to have good friends and family. When I’m with very good friends I’m also capable to let things go a little and be quiet when I think speaking is too exhausting...

Thank you for your answer! I have to be really concentrated the whole time and have to speak really s-l-o-w-l-y. Need to think exactly what I’m going to say and which words I need to avoid. The last ...

True.I used to think why I feel exhausted just by talking but I think it's due to how there is a constant battle in my mind to stop my stuttering(substituting words etc). Needless to say I am covert s...

Ah, that’s interesting. So I hope you benefit through the post :) Its for me the same. Not the stuttering itself is exhausting but keeping it under control. Maybe the key to not being so exhausted is ...

Can relate..I think my main problem is not Stuttering itself but my constant struggle to keep my stutter under control..which is really exhausting and I even feel tired..I find it funny that though I ...

I've thought about this so many times, especially as a kid. I always wished I was deaf because I always felt that people would be more understanding of being deaf as a disability and then I might actu...

It's not just the speaking that's exhausting for me. It's the whole of social interaction. I think it's why many of us become introverts. Just being out and talking to others is draining and we want t...

I've had experiences like this where I've told people I stutter and they're surprised and said they never noticed, at first I didn't believe them. I think because we know exactly when it happens and w...

Yeah happened to me in my first year at uni. Was working with a group of 9 other people and I’ve stuttered many times around them I opened up to them and they all hadn’t noticed. I was baffled...

> I think it’s because us as stutterers beat ourselves up so much about our stutter, when it’s not as bad as we perceive it as being. That might be because *we* definitely notice when something do...

good stuff man. i went super negative in high school and depressed. i became much less social and avoided all talking stuff. it was real bad! you just gotta keep putting yourself out there and eventua...

most people don't notice. it's just not something other people care about, even when you stutter REALLY bad. it can be hard to get this through your head, but other people really don't care or think a...

Had a similar experience me and my girlfriend of 4 years now, when we first got together I would beat myself up every time I stuttered, thinking I sounded like an idiot, and I never thought to tell he...

Yeah - I get a lot of questions from people as to why I'd use a false name. And since blocking is a foreign concept to most people as having a stutter, even when I try to be open and upfront and own u...

That’s true, I’ve definitely heard stories about people sadly falling into alcohol addiction as it was the only way to talk to people fluently. Yeah I’m not sure if mine gets worse or if it stays the ...

I have done a lot of therapy (intensive, inpatient and weekly sessions) and I do actually have fair control over it now, but up and down for sure. It's not about having to get angry for fluency, it's...
