You could argue they are basically the same thing. I don’t love ordering on the app because I feel like my food is never hot when I get it....

Isn't there some way to order on an app instead? I've done that. Typing it on a notes app just seems like giving up to me....

Would it be harmful in the long run to type my order on my phone to order food at a restaurant?

Would it be harmful in the long run to type my order on my phone to order food at a restaurant? Seriously considering this change to just make my life a little simpler but wondering if this would be ...

I get looks but I’m older and people are more annoyed with me because they have to take time to understand especially if it’s a loud restaurant the waitress acts like she doesn’t have time like I’m an...

Little_ thanks again. I finally got help and after resetting my phone I could see chats. You have educated so many of us. There stutterers in third world countries who have no idea about the condition...

What else do I need to do in order to prove to myself that I am not inadequate and unworthy of love?

What else do I need to do in order to prove to myself that I am not inadequate and unworthy of love? I faced the fear of job interviews and overcame it. I faced the fear of starting a new job abroad a...

Most pws have same issue as you, they have situational stutter/blocks. I have had the same issue all my life, and over time I learnt that this is mostly caused by underlying social anxiety issue. Over...

I got two sons and none of them are showing any symptoms. Nobody upstream in my family tree either. Just me that got this life-long curse after being mauled by a dog when I was 3. The thought of not...

Go to the trip. You can’t let your stutter dictate your life, or else you’ll never be happy. Put yourself out there & go outside of your comfort zone; that’s the only way to ever get over the fear & a...

Beautifully written. I experienced the same thing today when going to pick up my prescription at the pharmacy — which ironically enough, if I don’t have, I end up stuttering more. Sitting in the dri...

I've lived that story from grade school to 53 years old and inevitably into the future. I often wonder if anybody outside ever gives any thought to how incredibly difficult day to day life is for peo...

I don't bother with voicemails or talking to robots if I can help it, for this reason. I've been brought to tears because I've struggled to record a voicemail greeting in the past - this isn't much di...

Just found out about self-ending voice message recordings and now they are the bane of my existence I had to cancel an appointment for tomorrow and the only way was through voicemail because the place...

Video games saved my life from chronic depression. Not only did it help to distract my mind, but in the end it helped me work on practicing my fluency. I played games like WoW and Counter Strike tha...

It's hard some days. My depression wasn't related to stuttering necessarily but running helps. A lot. It also helps your lung capacity so the breathlessness I felt after a really long hard stuttering ...
