Strangely enough, I tend to stutter less when I talk to new people. My anxiety is high but also my focus and determination to get around blocks with various synonyms. As if my life depends on it. So, ...

Reads like a bit of a pity party to be honest. Also how can we just magically request that every person on earth react positively to our stutter, that's bs we can't control that. But what we can contr...

Your elevated heart rate before speaking is most probably your anxiety ramping up, which in turn elevates your heart rate and you sweat more too. It's a vicious cycle. Anxiety makes you stutter more, ...

Internal conflicts

Internal conflicts I recently got completely fine talking to people with my stutter. But while I was in a very bad mindset, I was forced into extreme introversion, so now I dont even know what to talk...

I did not stutter until 17 years old, when I met a boy who stuttered who was very outgoing and charming. I had a crush on him. However, because I was so ungainly at that time (usually dressed like a b...

Your reaction is your choice. Not anyone else's. Next time, try choosing to be a bit more patient and understanding. You'll get a lot more comfortable with it very quickly....

I absolutely assumed that was the core of OP’s discomfort. Perhaps I should correct ableism to internalized ableism. I’m more so responding to the hurtful language OP chose for a post in a stuttering ...

Can we assume that at the core of OP’s discomfort is seeing how they imagine others perceive themself? The “ableist” discomfort is probably just a reflection of how OP feels about their own situation...

I dont think all people feel the same way. I think it could be your situation/insecurities that may be making you feel ill when you watch someone struggle with a stutter. i for one don't feel this way...

It definitely sounds like anxiety. I had no idea I had anxiety all my life because I didn't know what life without anxiety was like. Can definitely relate to a lot of the symptoms you're talking about...

I've noticed that too. If I'm comfortable with a person it is barely there. I pointed out to my boyfriend that it is gone when I'm talking to him. He did gently tell me that while it was definitely le...

Mine it depends on who i am talking to, it varies from being 90% fluent and having blocks that last 2 minutes sometimes...

Take your hateful crap out of here. I don’t care if you are a stutterer, it doesn’t excuse your ableism. Just because you cringe at stuttering does not mean everyone else on earth does...

I only answered your main question, "Do I have anxiety" and I truly believe that we all do in some way. Honestly, what helps is feeling comfortable and safe in one's surroundings. I can empathise, be...

Stuttering may make other people uncomfortable, but that's mainly just them feeling bad for the person stuttering and awkward because they don't know what to do. But stutterers feel uncomfortable ar...

“People who stutter make me uncomfortable.” I don’t stutter, but I’ve thought a lot about this bc this issue is a hard one for my husband, who does. He often feels like he makes people uncomfortable ...

naaahhhhh i'm willing to bet this is internalised negativity and self hate talking. I used to think like this until I: 1. Actually talked to other people who stutter 2. Gained more self esteem and a ...

I get where you're coming from, but it's pointless thinking negatively like that. Never feel like your speech is a burden for others. It's not, stop thinking like that. As stutters we are perfectionis...

Let's be honest

Let's be honest People who stutter make me uncomfortable, having to wait to for them to finish their blocks even as a person who stutter themselves it makes me feel ill, Now let's look at it from a pe...
