Totally agree!...having a stutterer struggle and the listener do nothing but sit and wait when the listener may have to be somewhere at the moment is probably the worst and rudest thing ever!! If anyt...

Of course, I know I feel alone so often, not a lot of people can relate to what we’re going through. Every day we wake up with a challenge but it doesn’t have to defeat us. Sending much love ❤️...

I just want some friends..

I just want some friends.. I feel so terribly alone. Little things make me cry and I am terrified of the future. I try so hard to be engaging and funny, but as much as people may like me on the surfac...

I feel you 100%. Before the pandemic started, I was sort of already in a period of self-isolation cause I was taking some time off from college, unemployed, and not seeing my friends much due to their...

Long story short I'm 31 and work a dead end isolated job because I could never hold a good job where communication is needed, people where always major assholes to me because of the stutter so I becam...

I wish I had friends who stutter irl but I’m the only one and it can get lonely at times because they just don’t get it 🙄...

Huh. Thought this was coming from /r/socialanxiety. My stutter isn't so severe that I associate it with loneliness. But my social anxiety is. So I'll take the survey later this week....

Link: bit.ly/teamzot Hi everyone, My name is Benji Kaveladze and I am a PhD candidate in Psychological Science at the University of California, Irvine. I've also struggled with stuttering for mo...

I'm the exact same way. While I had a stutter when i was younger it was very mild. But it got so much worse after college. I think I need constant social exposure otherwise the stutter turns into a ma...

Has stuttering taken away your enjoyment from socialising? Has it made you more of a loner?

Was wondering about this last night while I was feeling down. What a terrible thing to have to deal with. Even if everyone is being understanding and kind I still feel like an outcast....

I had, and still do ​ Human beings are social beings, communication is the bare minimum for social interaction, without this - what else is more to say? It's over before it began...

I certainly have, over multiple periods of my life, with varying degrees of seriousness/"closeness". It's never just been about my stutter though. Always the sense of being a pariah as a result....

The being left out part: I can relate!!! Like 20 yrs ago...the place I work at made me wear earplugs to focus......but in hind site I think it was to prevent me from speaking....if I couldnt hear oth...

No, because I am a bit socially awkward with new people and don't wanna make it more awkward by having an explanation. Lol I don't think you should follow my approach though, I'm not a very social gu...

This happens to me a lot. Whenever I meet friendly new people, I talk with them using the least amount of words and often come off as a rude uninterested guy....

It’s amazing to think how much people (as you said) think they know us but in reality they have no clue what is going on in our heads. There is often times I feel incredibly lonely even with my famil...

I am in a similar age as you, and along with stuttering, am suffering from other mental health issues. Its just painfully bleak sometimes....

Its not too late to get out there, no matter what age you are. I'm getting on in years and I was surprised when I learnt that a lot of people, who do not have a stutter, feel lonely or are friendless....

I'm 33 and I'm in your situation. Still horribly lonely and feeling like I'll never have any fulfilling relationships. It's too late for me but I really do hope you find the courage and strength to ge...
