Am I the only one who thinks this is a massive case of cope? *Of course* what other people think of you matters. Humans are social animals and we define ourselves by our relationships with others. Any...
Honestly my biggest challenge in college was not being able to get girls like non stutterers could. Also tell your professor/ta that you stutter, most professors/tas will accommodate you....
I didn't mean to put anyone who stutters into a class. Maybe you're right that they were judging you because they're college students....
I stutter but i still talk alot with my friends. Even my friends sometime tell me to shut the fuck up cause i talk so much lol. However, with strangers, it’s a different story. I don’t talk to strange...
I’m new to the sub and I’m glad to find those who have also experienced this situation. It’s such a struggle to engage in conversation or when you’re somewhere new and a crowd of people come up to ask...

Should I worry about proving people I'm not dumb/slow because of my stutter? Or just "fuck them"? I think every stutterer in the world is worried about being taken as someone stupid because of their s...
I feel you soooo much. You must be extremely worried and anxious about your future, me too. The most scary thing to me is applying to a job and having to speak with the manager about myself. That‘s no...

If I can't express myself than what am I good for?

When I had one of my first interviews out of college, I stuttered a ton. Really bad. And the interviewer said they couldn't hire me because they didn't think I'd be able to communicate effectively. T...
Yeah, 100% agree. Once you use the disability word, it triggers all kinds of protocols that they have to follow (at least in schools in the USA). So, they'll take it seriously. Good point about retr...

This is why I don’t look for a job: my Adhd makes it so I never look up the mechanisms behind trying to look for a job and Doing research. Interestingly I have done some ECs hoping it helps out. But ...
