Well I do hope it doesn't become a pattern. Maybe it won't since we're aware of it, unlike avoiding eye contact or something. Best of luck!...

I'm a 30 year old female. My stuttering ranges from forming a complete fluent sentence to total blocks on the next. It's random for me day to day. I've often thought I would be a happier person if I d...

Wow, I feel almost the exact same. I've always wondered if my impediment could be overcome or if I have to work with it, which basically means stuttering all of the time and being okay with that. Just...

Well I do know some excellent SLPs who are pws, but I think I know even more who aren't. And they totally get it. Oftentimes I think they get it better than me, so dont count them out. Being fluent is...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Congratulations on graduating and your accounting job! I've actually been thinking about going into accounting myself. Adjusting to a job will be the hardest ...

I graduated this August, I was under the impression life was going to suck and literally take me 2 years to find a job. Been working as an accountant at a small business for 2.5 months now. I have to ...

You're right, he shouldn't be ashamed, but as Im sure you know, it takes effort and practice to get to that point....

Thank you. Its not that Im not happy for experiencing these moments but when they happen more often than not I feel kind of like I don't deserve it for some twisted odd reason. ...

Thank you, nice to hear your opinion, and after reading your text I'm sure that you are doing great in your job! I'm really touched by what you are writing. And I couldn't agree more. It's sad that th...

Well, maybe you're just being too harsh on yourself somehow. Being a stutterer certainly doesn't require you to fail your speech constantly, in order to "deserve" the label. All you can do is be glad ...

I used to use word substitutions and whispering (lots and lots of whispering). Now I don't. But when I get those moments of how I used to talk (fluent but with tricks) I still feel like I'm somehow de...

Between the ages of high school and now I was a covert stutterer (or at least I thought I was one). Since I'm now as open about it as I can be, I guess apart of me feels guilty not so much for being f...

*That was a typo. But this explanation still holds I think.* --- I shouldn't and that's the rub. I am just a person who happens to have a disconnect with the majority of people and the way they spea...

I took a communications class this last semester and obviously having to do oral presentations forced me to be more open about my stutter. I wouldn't say that I usually advertise, as I firmly believe ...

I wouldn't feel guilty, but it's a bit awkward. People often generalise and fail to see the complexity of stuttering and might think you're simulating, but you shouldn't feel guilty, because people wh...

I can acknowledge that I probably communicate a sense of frustration at times when I'm struggling to get my words out. So yes, when family or whomever else will avoid starting a conversation, although...

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU It breaks my heart reading all of your posts because I can relate to everything. This is a BIG struggle. Stuttering is so intense that it's insane. What is it, why is it? I always ask mysel...

Stuttering has taken a massive shit on my emotions and outlook on life. If I didn't stutter I would have maybe been outgoing because of how I am at home with my family. I talk a lot and crack jokes al...

I think we all have the same feelings here. Seeing the obvious greener grass and all those things a fluent voice can bring. I mean, you've probably sat there listening to nonsense and wanted to correc...

I can't agree with you more on "doesn't let me be happy". I am not really depressed or suicidal, but deep down I am not happy with myself and in some way with God (sorry for the religious reference th...
