How do you deal with anxiety and depression due to stammering at work ? Asking this as I am feeling quite low right now due to my severe stutter. I'm a software developer so the job doesn't require mu...

“The more you think about yourself, the more miserable you will be.”

“The more you think about yourself, the more miserable you will be.” That’s a quote from Jordan Peterson from a conversation with Theo Von. It’s a fact that’s deeply rooted in the literary as well. W...

How about a network/server for people who stutter to talk to each other

How about a network/server for people who stutter to talk to each other Thinking something a la discord server, where the main point is to connect and talk specifically. (And yes, I know about the ser...

Yup, absolutely hate them. There’s a few times where I get by w/ a slight block, or none at all (usually quick calls). And I’ve had really bad ones. Like one where the person on the other end thought ...

Should i just try to be extroverted and talk to as much people as i can and just tell myself “whatever happens… happens”. I fr feel so extroverted having a lot of thoughts/conversations in my head but...

Calls are my nightmare

Calls are my nightmare When I get calls I have in my mind what to say but then I can’t say anything because oh wait my brain holds me hostage and so it’s crickets in the call.I feel like an asshole be...

For me it’s more the setting I’m in. If I am by myself revising (being confident on the topic I’m talking about) or if I am reading I am 100% fluent. If I am not entirely sure on what I am talking abo...

I was actively using Omegle while was drinking a lot. Now after a sober year I do not go there, though got a better microphone to get rid of mic fear :) I hope one day I'll rejoin....

I also want to use omegle because it’s literally perfect: random people you can press a button on and never see again, but i have a fear of being in one of those tiktoks 💀 even if its not a bad thing...

Yes I used to have a thing with a girl and she would tell me "I want you to speak more I really like your voice you should stop being so quiet" which really ticked me off and we broke up shortly after...

I think maybe these girls are a bit superficial. Rather than seeing your stuttering as an interesting quirk or facet about you, I think they just judged you. They don’t understand real love. I think t...

Yeah, I wanna live in his fantasy land where people even look at you once they learn you stutter....

Has any other men noticed this is their relationship

Has any other men noticed this is their relationship So obviously us stutters have no problem getting women or getting into a relationship but I was wondering have any of you guys ever noticed this I...

I was breathing the way you are telling to do when I was far less fluent. Breathing through tummy actually helped me be more calmer and slow down my speech. I don't think I will go back. I am more f...

But do you still stutter? If so it's worth a try, practice a quick inhale with your chest before you speak with someone close to you who you're comfortable with. Then once you have it down you could ...

As someone who is both a stutterer and a therapist, this would actually be the opposite of what I would recommend. You're describing a common avoidance behavior. The problem with stuttering is you can...

Facts… same! I used to be very social as a middle schooler only time I remember stuttering was when i talked to my crush, and stuttered a little as a freshman in HS but still made a lot of friends but...
