feeling isolated

I’m in a glass box and everyone I’ve ever known and everyone I’ll ever come in contact with is surrounding the glass box. I can see and *hear* what everyone is saying. I see them all mingling with e...

You pretty much said exactly how I feel. People don’t really know the true me because of how many walls I put up to prevent a stutter. Guess this view isn’t uncommon among stutterers, so it’s at least...

This is exactly my life. And yes, I am completely exhausted. I come home everyday feeling like I’ve been practically physically assaulted. Feels impossible to actually get close to people living like ...

I feel you. I really embraced being alone when I was a severe stutterer. I'm not presenting that as a positive. There are some healthy things about being able to enjoy times alone. But we all need to ...

i've had it happen to me multiple times. People think you are just straight up rude, but its also to long to explain in the short period of time. Best to just get on with your day. You probably won't ...

Growing up I thought I was the only one who stuttered until I met another PWS at age 20. It's very sad growing up alone, eating your school lunch in the janitors closet. I never knew how to make f...

I need help

I need help Hi everyone, I’ve led myself down a path to where I currently have no friends. I live in England and am in college. During free periods, break and lunch I spend my time alone with only my ...

I wouldn't say extroverted but I'm definitely not shy or an introvert as my stutter has tried to make me be. My main reason for avoiding human interaction is to avoid speaking....

You know, in reality no one really cares that you stutter and the sooner you understand it the sooner you you'll feel better. I've been stuttering for 13 years (I'm 17 currently) and it still isn't go...
