Well, everybody hates injections but I assume it's a lot worse for anybody with chronic aichmophobia. It's a big achievement for anybody with a stutter to read in class....

Hi, I find some similarities to my story. I talked normally until at my 15. At the high school in the class, suddenly I wasn't able to read out loud some word at all, so everyone stared at me, waiting...

Good job. I remember those horrible days, palms sweating, mathing out when it would be my turn to read and which question or section I'd have to say. I did not enjoy high school. If you can get over t...

This is **exactly** how I feel. I seem to block more than I really 'stutter', and not being able to get the sound out at all for several seconds is really embarrassing. I wish more people knew that bl...

Dang, that's rough. Sorry dude, but thanks for sharing; we can definitely commiserate. Reminds me of times when I block on my own name. Can't get a single sound out after "Hi, my name is ---" and I'v...

> I have also mild stutter, but just realize, we are still the lucky guys. There are much severe stutterers than us. It must be much harder to cope with it for them... I agree, I'm not sure if my...

After primary school (and the school after that) I think it's really immature to bully people for their way of talking, walking or whatever. But some people maybe are late to mature I guess. I was a...

Back in junior high, when my acceptance over my speech was at its lowest, I punched a kid for making fun of my speech, but that's probably the worst I've really experienced. Of course I'll get strang...
