Yup deleted the unnecessary comments coz I don't like spreading toxicity, maybe some misunderstanding I guess I agree partially with what you said. Exposure therapy and not caring about your stutter ...

Same, it doesn’t help when you have crippling anxiety on top of a speech problem. It’s very common, I attended the Maguire Programme when I was about 14 and I was told about ‘relapsing’. You can be t...

When I tell you I can actually feel the frustration through your story… I feel like they should’ve just started with ‘have you always had a speech problem’? And that entire situation wouldn’t have hap...

Yeah I've been through speech therapy alot, it didn't help me too much. I think the reason is my stutter is ptsd or heavily anxiety related. But im sure the diaphragm breathing & other therapy tip...

For me yes. I have been a stutter my whole life but there have been a big change on my mindset while growing up. When I was a kid, I did´ not feel embarassment because of my stutter. I just feel I was...

I stutter more with family, now mostly with my husband… especially if I’m flustered haha....

I can't think of a specific situation. But I've had to have atleast 100 experiences through out life when I literally wanted to kill myself right then & there from excruciating embarrassment. In ...

I already do brother, actually at this point I only got a few online friends and none in real life. Now I just wanna get rid of this anxiety and fear that I feel before speaking, it's too exausting. I...

I’ve done that a couple of times.. tho it didn’t really help lowering my anxiety about getting the words out in addition to the fear of adding gasoline to the lie that I’m mentally challenged since it...

That is no friend.. Disgusting. I’ve had many ‘friends’ giggle or smirk or deliberately put me on the spot in front of others knowingly. Some people are so far up their own ass. I had to go to the vet...

Similar situation for me. Just met my relatives back in Africa. They see my stuttering as a form of weakness, less intelligent and got ostracised. I feel that women might get a bit of sympathy. Men ha...

Ahaha you're right! The moment I published this post I realised what a dumb question taking in consideration that we're on r/stutter. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experience, I have as you said ...

Yeah but most are men. I think it’s important that while less women stutter, we do exist and we’ll face different things because of our gender....

Yes. In Secondary School I had never had a big issue with my stutter. Although stuttering was obviously daunting me in my day to day, I went to school with my circle of friends and I got along well wi...

I find that people write me off as stupid very quickly. Sexism is already a problem, and being a stuttering woman certainly doesn’t help. I had a friend who once said to me “wow you’re actually pretty...

I’m working as a classroom aide in a preschool now. Going into it I was really nervous, especially about reading out loud to the kids. It turned out fine. Little kids are so non judgmental and I found...

Did you find university more overwhelming being a person who stutters?

Did you find university more overwhelming being a person who stutters? ...

at work, when i have to deal with angry people on the phone. they usually hear my stutter and calm down a bit because no one wants to shout at someone who is already stuttering...

😕 think about it, you can be the most content man in the world with yourself. But if nobody likes you then that shit low-key doesn't matter....

Makes sense. When you feel safe, it tends to calm down, or it at least feels that way because it doesn’t consume you as much during socializing in that moment...
