My mom used to tell me that I was a very quiet person and that I need to communicate more with people. One day I wanted to express, and I stutter more than the normal (I don't know why), what my mothe...

Same here, my family is most of what is keeping me alive. Otherwise I would have checked myself out a long time ago. Whoever said that no one is judging you for stuttering has to be a fucking moron. ...

I've missed out on a lot of things in life. I'm in the second half of my twenties and I feel like I haven't experienced anything. I've gone through so much material on stuttering acceptance but it has...

I deem it to be impossible, that's why I have given up trying to be social. Too much work and not enough energy. I have embarrassing moments almost every day when I'm outside of the house and quite fr...

Feel you.. No social skills here either. Im awkward as fuck too. Got mocked for my stutter for the first time today too. Life is not good at the moment....

How do you deal with others' ignorance when it comes to stuttering, especially when it comes from family?

How do you deal with others' ignorance when it comes to stuttering, especially when it comes from family? One thing that's always bothered me about stuttering is feeling ashamed for something I can't ...

Yeah, thats what I blame mostly for my speech. It made me self concious from a young age and screwed with my head...

then you go to say "god damn i sound like a pirate" and u stutter on "god" now everyone in the room is looking at you like you are a moron so you just shut up and don't speak and become a social outca...

I am in therapy with my University's CS&D clinic (the first one ever established in the US), so it's with graduate students training to be slp. We started with mindfulness and "light contacts." ...

Yeah, it's a self defeating cycle you've got for yourself. We stutterers do a lot of "mind reading", which is when we try to think what the other person must be thinking about us, our stuttering, how ...

Thanks for the response. I do perfectly well in school. I make high honor roll, take advanced classes, ect. I never have declined to do a presentation. I recently discovered that all schools have to h...

They are the type of people who don't talk about it openly. I only feel bad and wrong when I talk about things like that with them. This is why I go on the internet and ask people who aren't my parent...

We actually had an in-class discussion about the movie afterward. And of course I stuttered which was a huge embarrassment considering the character....

I remember this movie! We had to watch it in my 8th grade history class and every time the stuttering character came on screen, I was dying of embarrassment since everyone in my class knew I had a stu...

I hate when people say "What, did you forget your own name?!" Once at the airport security they asked my name because I didn't have a license at the time... :{ Needless to say, it was a terrible ex...

I can't be a cashier, I can't report the news.. The list goes on. I've always seen myself as a monster of some sort and I still do. I know it's all in my head, but I still believe that I'm a disabled...

I also have a hard time saying my name. I remember when I was a kid, an old man wondered what my name was and I replied with "I don't know" because I knew I was going to stutter on the starting letter...

I had such an embarrassing day...

I had such an embarrassing day... Hello, I just recently discovered this sub and I'm posting here because I have a bad stutter problem and today it got so bad I didn't even tell anyone what had happen...

Or you say Y..................... Other person: Come on, spit it out! Are you shy? Me:............lvie I want to hit you. ...

I never used to have a problem with that method, then in college there was an unfortunate sort of awakening whereby I began to see (on a conscious level!) how it impacted certain situations, like watc...
