Exactly, then not to mention the things attached to it like depression and social anxiety. How can you work if you're trembling in fear because you have to see your co-workers? ...

Thank you, exactly. Its the everyday things that get to us and at times break us. Covert stutterers are so quick to even deny they stutter. If there's nothing to be ashamed about why not let people kn...

It was occasional, maybe if I was nervous and in front of people and it was blocking. Now It's repetitive and I'm stuttering even talking to family. I think it's probably because I've never realized i...

I'm not going to give the same tired bullshit advice of "Don't care about stuttering!, put yourself out there!" because everyone knows that advice is shit and doesn't have a foot in reality for most. ...

Oh my. Me too, people hate when I start to tell a story. They'll find excuses to stop me. 😞 ...

Any time! Once you realize this and start to apply it, you'll probably find that is pretty universally true. The more you react/over react to a mistake (or something you perceive as a mistake) the mo...

Yeah, I never really realized it until pretty recently too. No ones ever commented on it though, just something I slowly noticed....

I agree. If you react to it other people are more likely to react to your reaction, rather than the stutter itself. I actually never thought about this before, thanks! ...

I try to talk about it to my friends too to make myself more comfortable with it, but it seems like they get really awkward and uncomfortable when I bring it up :-/...

Same here. It's been getting worse for me tough. I didn't really realize I stutter until a few months ago, but someone was telling me I stutter a lot. Then someone else mentioned it. I'm getting more ...

Just do what you can. Stuttering to me is a rather embarrassing condition to have so it has changed the way that I view the world. I've never met another stutterer in my life so I can't say that I kno...

One of the worst things a stutterer can do is react to a stutter. I know it's frustrating and embarrassing but the more negatively you react, the more attention you draw to the fact that it's happeni...

Feel crappy

Feel crappy Just wanted to vent with those who will understand. I'm a chef and I was at work yesterday. The server asked how many minutes until a product would be ready (I wasn't late with it, he was...

Couldn't have put it better myself. Maybe everyone else is just really good at hiding it? Because they seem to be happy and I'm here just struggling to keep going through this. ...

I think about it more and more as I grow older. I've slowly come to accept my stutter but that doesn't always make it easier to live day by day. So much of the adverse effects of stuttering is psychol...

I've found it to be a significant hindrance in my life. I'm in my mid-forties now, and I've stuttered mildly since I was about eight years old. The problem that I've seen is that people misconstrue ...

severe covert stutter here - and today I did something amazing i asked a girl to prom WOOOH most of you (maybe all) don't even care but I'm just so happy right now. I asked her after class and even ...

I hated and denied my stutter when I was in high school to the point of paranoia. If you think your stutter is negatively affecting your ability to have a job and family then go to a university that ...
