"I've spent a lot of time in my life fighting a war that I thought was with a communication disorder, I now realize it was one with myself" - the ending quote hits harder than anything I've heard in t...

College final presentation

College final presentation Ok so I don’t really know how I feel about this. I’m 20 years old, I’m in college and I’m in an entrepreneurship class. For the whole semester I’ve worked in a group of the ...

Yo Anthony my name is Connor and I’m 21 years old. I have a pretty bad stutter but I have ways of helping it like every other person. I’m on track to get my associates in the spring and my major is ge...

I've had that happen to me before too, especially in spur-of-the-moment things with strangers like you said. Just another reminder to not make stuttering your identity! Also like u/randomalt9999 said,...

Hey man. Look...stuttering is hard. It's unfair. It's complicated and confusing and frustrating and sometimes even depressing. But hey, you can't let your stutter define you. Trust me when I say that ...

Looking for People I can video chat to.

Looking for People I can video chat to. Hi guys and girls. My first post on Redit :) So, let me introduce myself. Sergey, 35, live in Moscow, Russia. Married, have a 5 y.o. daughter. Been stuttering...

Um, no it isn’t. Some cases of stuttering really are genuinely rooted in biology/genetics. Me, for example. I’m almost 30 and have had a severe stutter ever since childhood. No amount of speech therap...

You’re implying that stuttering = failure. It’s not. You can succeed despite stuttering. Own the fact that you’re speech-impaired and move on with your life and pursue your goals. Some stutterers will...

Wow, that's a lot to unpack. I'm not trying to argue with you. I never said your logic or feelings were misplaced, I just said I didn't agree. Clearly, I didn't know about the abuse/neglect and I'm so...

Before I begin. I have been stuttering since I was 8 years old, 28 now.Because of abuse and neglect at the time. It was actually really bad but being so young and hardy I didn’t see it. I stuttered al...

I feel like thats different because it was telling the story of the real person. The movie wasn't being insensitive, it was being factual and accurate to the actual story. It was an issue for him. For...

Disagree. When talking about negative portrayals, OP specifically mentions people who are portrayed as "un-assertive, or generally anxious as a result of their stutter." George VI is portrayed as extr...

Never do that. I use to do that. I still stuttered, and I had dumb shit to say because of my vocab limitations. I made the decision to say exactly what I want to say and just stutter through it, so at...

I go for private speech therapy once every 2 weeks. And it has helped me a lot. In speaking but mostly in the way i think about my stutter and how i deal with it...

I know how you feel! Just remember everyone has their own problems to worry about and most likely will forget bout your performance 10min after. At least they will not be thinking much about it. Even ...

Yes definitely. It kinda sucks I cant be myself 100% but it's the cards I was dealt in life. It has made me more of a humble kind of person. When I discovered benzos gave me the ability to not care ab...

omg another girl who stutters ?? i’m a mess too homie and other people might not recognize how strong you have to be to live with this condition but i’m super proud of you for doing your presentation ...

I just want to get rid of it and not be labelled and ignored all my life:( or even miss out on matters just because I can't speak without a struggle....

I get upset about this too. I know it's not their fault, and I don't really know how I expect them to act, but still, it makes me feel not normal...

Last one is absolutely the worst. I’ve gotten used to it though. When it comes to online games, really push yourself to talk in comms. Even a few words will drastically increase your confidence....
