I wouldn't compare stuttering to being gay. Even if you are accepted, stuttering (if it's severe enough) can prevent effective communication. Being gay doesn't do that. If you're gay that just refer...

Hi there, let me first say that I'm sorry that you feel this way. I read your story and everything is SO recognizable. I'm 45 years old. I tried controlling it for 45 years but I just can't. I've go...

I had a stutter when I was in school. In fact, I still have one. I'm 45 years young now. Yeah I'm old :-) I think it's important to realise that YOU ARE GOING TO STUTTER no matter what. And that's ok...

Whoever made the word "stutter" had a sick sense of humor, huh...

I'm 21. Until a couple of years ago, I was very conscious of my stutter. I was scared to speak up and all. Two years ago, I finally opened up and spoke to my sister. I told her everything, how I feel...

I'm sorry to hear you were bullied for your stutter. That absolutely sucks. I wonder if by never speaking about it with friends I've created a boundary as a no-go subject. Maybe I'll start bringing i...

I'm 32 now, and I didn't really talk about it throughout all of middle and high school. I was active in class and decently social. College is when it became a major complex as I began to be made fun o...

I am always open and upfront about my stutter in interviews. It frankly is a disability and there’s no shame in that. It’s a struggle that we have to deal with and that’s okay. Many many people would ...

First of all, know that you are COURAGEOUS!!! I am in the same boat. Since Covid, I was removed from all human interaction and placed at home working remotely through Zoom and Teams. I give 3 to 5...

Recent Job Interviews I’ve been following this subreddit for a while (this isn’t my main). As someone approaching their mid-20s I’ve been dealing with a stutter as long as I can remember. A few years...

As someone with my own mental disorders, I get the feeling of knowing how to do something, wanting to do something, seeing everyone else doing the thing with no problems, and not being able to do it. ...

Thank you for asking and wanting to be accurate! 1) Most often: sh, s, f, glottal stop (like the beginning of *apple* or *if*). Sometimes: t, ch, w, k. It's not an exhaustive list, but those are my...

1.- M, P, A, T, S This varies by person. Sometimes there's reason to it (such as letters where you have to put your lips together) other times its just what your stutter wants to do. You could litera...

1. Plosives sounds (P, b, d, t). These are the most common sounds I struggled on, and the most common ones that still slip out. Also, pretty much all softer sounding words. Alliteration is a pain. 2....

Thank you so much for the advice! I’ll try to apple then all into my everyday life. To he honest social media with me isn’t that bad because idk I feel like I’m able to express myself more freely on t...

I always think about the audience , fear of embarrassment, humiliation etc. My stuttering comes whenever I think about all these, rest of the time talking to myself or to my family ,I don't stutter a...

I’ve heard people say it is, and honestly I don’t think it is.. I mean everyone stutters sometimes.. ya know fumbling over a word or two ours are just more pronounced and there.. hard to hide for most...

I've always acted as if it wasn't, probably because it's harder to accept that meaning I am disabled and I've never seen myself that way. Which also says a lot about the severe ableism in our cultures...

Thanks for your reply! I actually do see my stutter as part of my identity, and I don't think that's a bad thing. I believe it's possible for something to be an important part of who you are without i...

Hey! I have a really bad stutter, I was in speech therapy from age 2 through about 15-16 and I stopped going simply Bc I hated being that kid in school who went to therapy. I use to have a sort of...
