Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand.

Need to vent, it's so frustrating when people don't understand. My stuttering isn't that bad the past couple months because of speech therapy, but it still fucking sucks. Social anxiety and tension f...

Well said, although I've found a 2 week intensive therapy program (AIS in NYC) really helped me break through initial barriers I'm not sure I could have broken through alone. I was such a covert stutt...

I don't think I can ever be successful in life. My stuttering is holding be back so badly.

I don't think I can ever be successful in life. My stuttering is holding be back so badly. I'm writing this because I'm just frustrated and depressed. I feel like my stuttering is getting worse, when ...

Yes, the formal term for what you're talking about is "covert"stuttering....

Well there's a character in DMC4 that stutters (that you have to kill) but I can't really think of an actual game that has stuttering as a subject. If you want a movie tho there's always the King's Sp...

This is mostly how my stutter works, when I'm having conversations with people it doesn't pop up so much, but when I'm ordering food or reciting something that I know I can't replace words I'll usuall...

You wouldn't guess it - a call centre! I was working for the Royal Bank of Scotland fresh out of uni and the guy behind me had a stutter. We stuttered like mofos on the phone everyday and it actually ...

>Most people dont even know i stutter because i hide it well. You need to start stuttering more openly! :) Hiding, avoiding, using tricks, it can really wear on us....

Struggles with Stuttering

Struggles with Stuttering Hey im new to reddit and i need a place to vent about my frustrations with my stutter. I am 29 and happily married but for whatever reason i cant get over my fear of stutteri...

Totally get it, and phone calls are the hardest for me too. I stutter very badly on the phone. But my job also revolves around making phone calls. Had one experience recently where the person I called...

I have always been very scared of making phone calls to strangers. One summer I gathered all my courage to call for a summer job. When I started explaining my reason for calling... I stuttered really ...

I dunno how to explain it. But I sort of start "acting" confident and it helps. It reduces the effect of my stutter for sure, but it doesn't remove it. Plus confidence is sexy ;)...

Thank you. I'll try focusing on the job and less my stutter....

To be honest I haven't tried any kind of treatment. I just try to keep it on the down-low and I'm always in waiting for the awkwardness inside my head when I do it....

I've noticed the same thing, maybe it's because your voice changes? You are confident in your speech and don't expect to stutter so you dont. Yes, I had a job interview and had a cold at the same time...

Because your anxiety isn't on your mind, you aren't thinking about the stutter so you speak mostly fluently. One of the worst aspects of stuttering in my opinion...if only we could forget we have it...

Very common. There are even names for the things you mention: world substitution and time pressure. Most stutterers can speak completely fluent when alone or to animals. For this reason I see stutteri...

I got a job working on national television It's not a glamorous position at all (one of those 24/hr sales networks where you can buy knives and coins and shit), but I'll be speaking for up to four ho...

> I feel like I have behavior that makes me no fun to be around, like being quiet or not knowing what to say. I feel you bro. You have no idea how true this is for me. 99% of the time I am super s...

I have a job where I have to talk to people face to face the entire day. My speech is not improving and I'm not feeling any better in terms of anxiety....
