Ya know I usually try to be social, but when I stutter I just stop and become a loner, so I think that I would be more social without it....

It’s really bad. I find myself having bursts of anger and then half regretting it after I get into the altercation and can’t really get out. Most people disengage because of how unintimidating I am (I...

Yes, I feel you. I don't know what other is for myself, since apparently I was happy as a little kid but when I went to school things changed. This is because I was bullied for stuttering, and trying ...

Can't socialize with anyone at all. Even my family. It is very hard to live with... I've been in and out of many interviews always blaming my stutter when I answer their questions. I know there is ...

I know there are a lot of people here who are saying "dont bring it up, let him do it". However, I want to also offer an alternative: I think you should bring it up respectfully but openly. Yes Stutte...

2 things: Just because people shy away from you doesn't mean its because you stutter Just because people may shy away from people who stutter doesn't mean "they're not worth it." There are things t...

Back when it was really bad (It is for the most part gone now). I would absolutely avoid talking to people. There were also other much more serious reasons why people did not want to hang out due to m...

I try not to let it get to me. I've just finished my first year of uni - made great friends, joined a few societies, overall a great year - and I'm currently doing some volunteering for the summer. My...

Many of my friends told me I was uptight or aloof because I didn't talk to them a lot in the beginning. I also have a very serious face and I tend to avoid people as much as I can, so I wouldn't say t...

Yup people behind the counter at places I go think I'm rude because I'm not engaging in small talk. If only they knew I was saving them from watching and waiting for me to get over a block....

People honestly think I'm an asshole because I don't talk. Tbh I'm really nice, and would be super popular if I wasn't in the 1% of people who go through hell everyday....

I'm quite sure that I do. I'm also at my internship and I feel like people might think that I'm uptight or rude. I've yet to just ask anyone if I come off that way though....

I have a stutter and I’ve had several different cashiering jobs. You kinda say the same thing over and over again “hello how are you” type of thing and I know the more I repeat something the less I st...

Feeling invisible

Feeling invisible Today was a pretty bad stuttering day for me. I was on vacation for a week and just returned to work today. Coming back I’m starting to realize that my coworkers don’t fully acknowle...

Hey! I've had a stutter since middle school and I'm 26 now working in Sales. Not gonna lie to you, it's a struggle doing sales when you know you're going to stutter on that call. I stutter saying my o...

An old speech therapist of mine explained it like, when you get home and you're around your friends and family you tend to "hang your hat" and let your guard down in terms of your speech. Sometimes I ...

Wow just read back over my comment. Really brought some stuff to surface, nothing I can’t handle but I still find my inside voice is louder then outside voice. No I haven’t been using it lately I’m du...

I also stutter a lot in front of my brothers/family than I do with my friends. I believe that could be the use of different language in my case, but I am not too sure about it....

Same here. I stutter the most with my family whether it's face-to-face or voice call (worse). I think it's because my mind knows that these people know about my stutter so I can stutter freely in fro...
