Vowels seem to be the hardest for me. Words like electronic, agoraphobic (one of my favorite bands is called agoraphobic nosebleed), really and vowel beginning word with more than two syllables. My st...

>do you not feel like it's accepting a vastly lower standard of living? Yeah. I know that my life would be very different if I was fluent or if I could take a pill that made me fluent. When I firs...

I went to speech therapy late as an adult, I went maybe 8 visits? I'm not sure why I wasn't put in speech as a child, maybe the resources weren't there, or maybe my school wasn't on the ball. Anywa...

I feel the same exact way. There isn't a single day where I don't stutter to my boss or my colleague. And it came to the point where my sentence wouldn't make any sense because I keep juggling words a...

any loss of respect from peers, recruits, anyone due to the stutter?...

Introducing yourself

Introducing yourself This is kind of a vent thread, but i'm also looking for any tips/advice for these kinds of situations. My stutter isn't really that bad, in that I can still connect with people ...

Yup. Whenever I meet new people, I shake their hands, they tell me their name, and I go like alright, cool. And there is a second or two of hesitancy from the other person as they are expecting a name...

I have issues saying my last name. It's Bober pronounced like sober. I can say it out loud to myself a million times...No issues. Introducing myself...always stutter on the B. It gets so bad and e...

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand.

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand. My stuttering isn't that bad the past couple months because of speech therapy, but it still fucking sucks. Social anxiety and tension f...

Great post. I still get embarrassed by my stutter at my job (I.T. service desk) but it doesn't bother me later on like it used to. I'm still incredibly far away to where I want to be in life but at le...

Can definitely feel you on the cringe. I remember when I tried online dating when I was 18 or so and I was hitting it off with some girl. Then she told me to leave her a voice message on her phone. Yo...

Cringe moment

Cringe moment Usually, in the brief few seconds before I speak, I'm able to tell if I'm going to stutter or not. This one time, I was walking up the stairs to my apartment, a girl holding an interesti...

I don't know how to put this exactly but I'll try. I know that it's nobody's fault (least of all mine) and people don't really care but I just cannot come to terms with it when I actually stutter. I f...

I blame my parents...

I blame my parents... I've posted this on another subreddit, but I found this one and feel it is much more relevant here. First things first, I love my parents to bits and would totally do anything ...

>however much I read aloud, however much I practice or do light contact fucking prolongations, or coastal breathing, or WHATEVER, speech is never going to be a natural part of me. You don't have ...

A lot. In school for a long time (which wasn't much help) and then I went to an outside place in late middle school (which was much better). I didn't mean to come off like speech therapy is completely...

You wouldn't guess it - a call centre! I was working for the Royal Bank of Scotland fresh out of uni and the guy behind me had a stutter. We stuttered like mofos on the phone everyday and it actually ...

It's completely normal to feel a sense of shame towards these situations. Especially when you want to say a particular thing and it goes to shit. But even people who don't stutter would still feel som...

Anyone else have those moments where their stutter caused them to opt to remain silent in a particular situation, thus looking like an asshole to everyone else for not having said anything?

If the lie that stuttering does not hold you back let you sleep easy at night then keep on believing that. Besides that our arguement is totally invalid. Stuttering varies widely from person to person...
