Stutter getting worse. I'm fighting against impossible odds for wanting a better life.

Stutter getting worse. I'm fighting against impossible odds for wanting a better life. Im 22. I had been a literal shut in for 2.5-3 years and browsed various social anxiety, incel and stuttering foru...

I have also had problems stuttering in social situations to the extent that I can't communicate at all, it does make you feel terrible. I know what you mean with sounding like a weirdo, using weird wo...

Don't even think about IQ, dude. When I was in my mid-teens (14-15 y/o), I used to think the same. "My IQ is high, because of that my mouth can't sync with my mind" lol. I cringe when I think abou...

dont beat yourself too much just know you got a community of freaks(people) like you .....way i see it is that stutterers like us have higher IQs and therefore the cruel universe had to short change u...

Stutter forces me to be an introvert

Stutter forces me to be an introvert When I was a kid and my stutter wasn’t too bad I was very outgoing and happy. I would make a lot of friends I would never hesitate to approach somebody new and I w...

I stutter more around people I am comfortable with and already know I stutter. I worked on a retail sales floor for 3 years and can talk to strangers like it's nothin' but trying to tell my dad a funn...

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Some situations definitely drive home how debilitating a stutter can be. Keep your head up. You're more than your stutter. Keep telling yourself that. No matter what...

Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm not really good at these things but I will try to help you here. First of all, it is really important that you don't let the stutter take control of you. That's...

Indeed. The impediment was top of mind throughout elementary, high school, college, and graduate school. It was only once I hit my stride in my career that I found I was really able to 'let go'. I ...

The "doing it for attention" narrative eventually died out when it became quite apparent that I was absolutely not doing it for attention. I'm an adult now but this is all behind me. When you have any...

I think different kinds of therapy helped me a lot to be more aware of my stutter and balance out those highs and lows. For me my fluency is largely dependent on how calm and confident I am in general...

The truth - for me, at least - is that stuttering is not what holds me back. I'm very shy and quiet and I used to attribute that to the stuttering/blocking, but I know the former came before the latte...

That makes perfect sense. I hate it when people ask my name. It is always a 50/50 chance I will get the word out without anyone noticing my stutter. Whats worse is the times people notice the telltale...

Mine is not as bad as it used to be. Its barely noticeable. The one thing i notice i have most trouble saying is my name, every other wors i barely pay attention to. But if i had the opportunity to go...

What is it like being a person who stutters as a slp?? Can you share any advice ?...

Hello. I'd love to chime in here if I could. I think controlling stuttering is definitely an option. However, I think a more liberating option is to focus on speaking smoothly, clearly, calmly and...

Is anyone here a person who stutters going for speech and language pathology?

Is anyone here a person who stutters going for speech and language pathology? ...

Same here. I'm 21 and have stuttered since I was a kid. Went into speech therapy for some years. It didn't really help much, but I learned not to let this issue take control of my life. Now, I don't r...

It honestly feels just like a character trait, a big deal isn’t made out of it and nobody even says the word “stutter” It just seemed really nice and not forced ...

It is part of my identity, and I have 95% gotten past it, now i only stutter when public speaking but normal conversation im smooth as fuck, and it does set me apart, and it does make it more satisfyi...
