I had to give a big presentation in front of my school a while back. At first I thought it would be just a dozen people or so but then the entire school ended up coming. I stuttered really badly and t...

I hate it too. That's why I don't talk much. Therefore my family thinks I'm antisocial, I'm about to lose my job because I don't interact well enough, every girl I know thinks I'm weird, I have no fri...

I'm more of a blocker myself, and when I'm stuck on a word and I'm in a situation where I can't use a different word for the same meaning.. things get horrible. Sometimes my face contorts, sometimes ...

I feel that way a lot when I stutter or have a hard time pronunciation a word and I see the person's facial expression - cringing and confused. I hate that feeling. It's been really difficult for me r...

Mouth injuries--or, when stuttering is literally painful

Mouth injuries--or, when stuttering is literally painful As the result of a small mishap, I had to call the IRS last week. This was a HUGE deal for me. I couldn't just let my SO make the call for me (...

My speech therapy in school was focused so much on the emotional impact of stuttering. Which was quite unhelpful. Finally by middle school I had the balls to tell my ST, I don't have a self-esteem pr...

I too was never bullied in school. I didn't want to put myself out there to be a target so I kept my mouth shut almost all of my elementary + high school years. I do not like my image as a stutterer....

I thought it was good. The actor that played the kid was really good; he really sounded like he stuttered. I felt really embarrassed at the situations that he was in. Good movie....

By deconstruct I mean it kills of my abilities. If I am confident but I stutter then it seems like I lack confidence or am shy or something. Also I can't make jokes or be that charming cuz it just com...

Several girls had crushes on me in high-school. Some would talk to me first but would then stop because I was such a bore due to me hiding my stuttering. I have never tried to pick up girls and don't...

What other people think is not even the number issue with me but rather disappointing myself. I am embarrassed in front of myself if that makes sense. I have always held myself up to high standards an...

I feel like my issue is a lot weirder than most. (I stutter as well, mind you.) See, I suffer from major aphasia. I lose words, all the time. Basic, stupid words. I lost the word "cup" the other day, ...

There is a signficant group of people who stutter that have a perfectionistic personality. To them every stutter feels like failing, since it's not the perfect fluent speech they demand of themselves....

It's interesting, based on what you've written it almost seems as though you view stuttering as failing. I wonder why you might equate it to failing if it's not something you had a choice in. ...

Huh...That pretty much dissects my problem. I never really thought that's what he meant but I guess it makes sense. My reaction is much stronger then others in almost everything I do especially when I...

Indeed it does. I just keep my mouth shut and avoid social gatherings because I hate looking like a fucking idiot. I haven't gotten used to the embarrassment and probably never will. It's very hard n...
