Does anyone feel like their vocabulary is hindered by their stutter? I don’t mean just words you use when speaking, I mean even thinking to yourself or in a written context. I come across words all th...

Stuttering on my Own Name

Stuttering on my Own Name I have learned over the years to not let my stuttering stop me from social situations, but I still find it extremely funny that my own name starts with sounds that are a big ...

My story

My story Hello everyone, I would like to share my story because I never really talked openly about it. I'm 26 male from Greece. I stutter all my life. Until the age of 22 the problem was mild and co...

Hey man I’m around the same age too and I know what you’re going through. I’m so sorry about how your parents are man that’s not easy at all. Like what other people said that, sometimes we have better...

I am the same. I have so much on my mind and would say so much stuff to people who need something to be said but my stutter prevents me from that. So I just stay quiet and composed. I feel the same th...

Lucky me, I’m female and in my 40’s. I stutter. Always have. Just recently I have begun to accept myself for who I am....

Stuttering truly humbled me and gave me a great perspective on the world, and I wasn’t always like this. I didn’t start stuttering until around age 18. I had a pretty big ego in high school and I alwa...

I think it does kind if help shape who we are, but it’s also dependent on out environments. For example, I was raised in a household that always felt sad whenever I stuttered and my extended family of...

I believe you make you who you are, your stutter is a neutral aspect in your life. It has no meaning until you give it meaning. And depending the label you put on it will severely impact the way you s...

Hm, let me put it like this: I think that as we look back on our lives, the way we tend to look for patterns is by starting somewhere in the past and then looking forward instead. This is likely to sk...

Does stuttering make you who you are?

Does stuttering make you who you are? I'm interested in your opinions on this topic. I would give credit to my stutter for me being more composed, quiet, smart, subtle sort of a guy. Many girls liked ...

This might be too specific to work for everyone, but what worked to boost my self esteem and confidence was taking classes to build my voice. For me, those classes were singing lessons. I understand ...

I like to think of my stutter as a relationship, sort of similar to one you might have with your pet. Depending on the day, your stutter can range from being bad to being unnoticeable depending on you...

Yes I stutter. I had a severe stutter between the ages of 3-10 yrs old. Started speech therapy when I was 4 yrs old and quit going when I turned 18 in high school. I think all the years of therap...

A lot of people here understandably didn't like your post bit I think I understand what you mean. Because of the hardships of this unfair burden that most of us had to carry for our whole lives, we ha...

Stuttering can be a learned behaviour. If you stammer and have trouble with fluency I think you can accurately call yourself a stutterer. No ones going to come knocking down your door and demand that ...

Nothing is right. Full of PAIN. I am not what I “could” speak.

Nothing is right. Full of PAIN. I am not what I “could” speak. 25 years of suffering from the stuttering. I don’t want to give you negative energy.. sorry! But I should talk about it. I have tried so ...

I hate talking too. I used to be terribly depressed and still get quite down sometimes due to my stutter. What keeps me going is, I'd rather try my best and fail than not try at all. People are much m...
