So I’m 20 and I have a stutter and gets worse if I have outings with friends. They claim to not hear it but I do stutter and it makes me so self conscious to talk. But whenever I stutter now, I just s...

Existential Angst

Existential Angst I'm writing this post for a little support if possible. I am 21 and for the past 2 years I have really taken a mental health toll due to existential angst about stuttering and fears...

Yeah I think too many stories focus on "overcoming" a stutter or on somehow "curing" it through practice, but that's not how it works at all. I still need to watch Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, I'm r...

You will have only the best of friends. All those followers on social media people have are never real friends. If you can get over the self consciousness and remember that everyone is too busy thin...

I just hit 30 and I still have my stutter. Some days are bad, some days are fine. I have a really successful career in IT but I was just like you at one point. I think the turning point for me was whe...

I have no stuttering friends. I stutter and my friends accept it. I don’t know anyone else who stuffers. It used to bother me but it doesn’t anymore. I’m in my 30s. Advice I received from a therapist ...

I've stuttered significantly during job interviews but I've still been hired. I've been open and honest about my stutter and they've been very accepting of it. There are good people out there who wil...

Im 23 and have been stuttering since youth. Ive never come across another stutterer ever. I was reading local Indeed reviews and one said he/ she had a stutter and the manager was cool about it, almos...

It's okay to stutter, it's not a crime, and famous people don't let it hold them back, but it only becomes a problem when it begins to really be impacting your self-esteem which it clearly is by the s...

I only know my experience. I stuttered from 10 -25 yrs. old. I haven't stuttered in 36 years. I practiced a technique I believed in and joined a Dale Carnegie class where I had to talk in front of a c...

Why should I work on my speech? I was born this way. Is there something wrong with me being the way I am? You're basically saying that, people who stutter, across the board, just need to work harder i...

You repeat affirmations to yourself everyday for 20 minutes such as "My speech is improving everyday" I did this with 10 affirmations every morning for 2 months. It made me feel good after doing them ...

Ay you see I was called over so it wasn't fully my decision. I go to the pullup bars now and I'll often get talking to guys there just because of our common interest. Hoping to build my confidence wit...

I totally agree with you :) A stutterer can always control his stutter to an extent where he doesn’t appear speech disabled!! There are always ways!! The one thing that helped me the most is voice mod...

I am way older than you and trust me, it gets better. Do not let your stutter define who you are. Learn to breathe correctly, take your time when you are talking and everything will be alright. Just a...
