There must be a scene where the main character has to introduce himself and he’s just scared cause he can’t pronounce his name without stuttering....

Shopping

Shopping I don’t know if anyone gets this but going to the shops to get food in is horrible. Even when I know I don’t need to speak to anyone, I still feel like everyone’s watching me. I was walking ...

I think in my case it was the cause. I started stuttering when I was 8, lot of stuff happened and it caused my stuttering, low self esteem issues, major insecurities (regarding everything about me) an...

I think it’s a chicken- egg thing. Inferiority complex or self esteem issues >> stutter >> more inferiority complex and self esteem issues....

For me it’s “thank you” because it comes across as automatic with no thought behind it, and planning my words takes thought. It’s really awkward when I’m talking to strangers....

It it makes you feel any better friend, I’m a youth pastor in his first year doing VBS, I’m pretty nervous. I’m also writing this from the church bathroom as I avoid hearing my recording childrens ser...

Props to you for giving it a shot. I work at a church (tech stuff) and struggle with my stutter. We just had our VBS as well. Keeping up with the pace of how kids talk can be hard, man. And they're j...

For me it wasn't that bad until the stress from work kick in, so I decided to go with pills now I'm trying Xanax, 3 days (definitely to early to a real diagnosis) so far it's not like I get blocks her...
