My Story.

My Story. Hey guys, like most in the sub Reddit, I have stuttered all 22 years of my life. Growing up was a very challenging time because as we all know small children in middle school can be very cru...

I get the "comfort" stuff from time to time. I've more or less learned to not be upset for very long about it. Most of the time the comfort is coming from a place of ignorance and not worth being ups...

Never had this happen. Me and my friends have an unspoken agreement that they only 'help' if A) its a particularly bad block AND B) I am talking to a 3rd party (waiter or whatnot). Otherwise, listen...

Hey there, those school years can be rough. They were the hardest for me because I did not talk about stuttering openly and tried to hide it as much as I could - which I now realize at age 27 is not t...

Actually, several circles (including McGuire Programme) involve deliberate disfluency, meaning that you purposely stutter when you don't feel like to. For most of us in this subreddit it sounds appall...

Breathe, don't talk too fast (easier said than done, you're going to be nervous and excited), and keep eye contact. Eye contact can sound intimidating, but sometimes focusing on eye contact and breath...

Parties are great. Intoxication surely does promote fluency-- both alcohol (& etc.) and the intoxication of other people's enthusiasm and sociability. Hiding your stuttering sounds exhausting an...

What do you mean "hide a stutter"? Do you just mean never talking. That seems terrible. I've had a stutter my whole life, and I just stutter through it all....

I work as a waiter, its both scary & great

I work as a waiter, its both scary & great I work part time on the weekends as server. I worked at the restaurant since my college years during the summer. For years I worked as a host. My stutter...

Glorious, yet uneventful. I use to be a partial covert stutterer. In the context that I used to hide my stutter when I could. But I couldn’t always do so… If that makes any sense. Hiding your stutter...

How was your coming out story?

How was your coming out story? I have been a covert stutterer for my entire life, and im now 19 years and im wondering if i should start to tell people. Right now, im the quiet and social awkward guy,...

Day-to-day stuttering annoyances

Day-to-day stuttering annoyances When non-stutterers imagine what stuttering must be like, they tend to "think big" - difficulties giving presentations, speeches, etc. But for me, the most frustratin...

I can sometimes fake it around people I'm attracted to by carefully choosing my words and trying really hard to impress them. Also I stutter much less around people I'm physically and emotionally comf...

Hello Fimpo! It would seem that we are cut from the same cloth! A lot of your experiences are the same as mine! I would say my stutter is moderate to severe! I allowed myself to get heavily morbidly...

I used a similar method when I started high school. I was in a new school where I only knew one person, and to fit in I just acted as if I was cool. It felt like I completely faked my personality at f...

I never want to talk to anyone

I never want to talk to anyone I don’t really know where to begin this so I will just start from childhood. I have been stuttering since I was about ten years old. Growing up, this gave me huge proble...

Honestly, you need to look at it as a life changing experience. Something that is going to change your whole personality, because if you don't, it will fail. Your introverted personality currently is ...

Oh god yes, it drives me insane... However, I'm with everyone else here, you gotta disclose that you stutter and just calm yourself down. Whether its finding something in common with the other person ...

Thank you for the response. I'm currently in the process of joining the McGuire Programme in Malmø, Sweden. The only thing that bothers me is that you have to live in a certain hotel, which costs arou...

Body of a Greek god haha, that made me laugh and at the same time a little envious. I understand what you're saying. I'm also the type who becomes more fluent when he drinks. Chatting with people an...
