Nobody deserves this

Nobody deserves this Hello everyone! I thought I would introduce myself a little and talk about a recent experience I had with a car salesman. But first, I’ve had a speech disability (or stutter as it...

I’m sorry you’re having to go through this. It hurts no matter how many times it happens. Ultimately you want to get to the point where it’s not nagging at you afterwards about what happened and isn’t...

If you want this disabling condition to be less impactful, learn that your blocks are due to fear of others hearing your repetitions. Having a parent who can have repetitions without shame is the mo...

The problem me considering it as disability and living with it doesn’t do much if people doesn’t think it that way. New people think that I have forgotten my name or don’t know the answer to their que...

I’m 43 and I’ve always minimized and downplayed it. This post has been really refreshing to read because it shines a light on how frustrating and debilitating it can be to think of things to say, want...

Getting worse on video call

Getting worse on video call Whenever I do video calls I stutter so much more than I would do in real life. It’s extremely frustrating because ever since COVID and work from home, 99% of employers do i...

My stutter is much worse around family, especially my parents. It seems like the more I trust someone, the more I stutter around them. Which is kind of a pisser for obvious reasons. If my relationsh...

I’ve always had some amount of blocks. I feel it’s even worse compared to regular stuttering because people around you will be thinking what the hell is going on since you’re not saying a word. It’s n...

Stuttering is ruining my life.

Stuttering is ruining my life. Stuttering is literally ruining my life. Whenever I go to conversate with strangers (or with most relatives), I'm not even able to pronounce the first letter of the sent...

I grew up in the 80's and went to a speech therapist for my stutter. I only remember a little bit about it, and I don't think it helped too much, and my parents eventually stopped taking me. I don't...

:( When i was younger (11-15 or so), my stutter morphed into "blocks" like u describe. During that time, i could not even answer a phone and say "hello" - it just won't come out! It would feel as if...

Despite having a stutter, I've led a relatively remarkable life.

Despite having a stutter, I've led a relatively remarkable life. As I sit here after a long shift at the hospital, I can't help but think that I've had a pretty good life despite this damn stutter. L...

Yes, I can never get rid of the feeling. My stutter is always in the back of my mind....

Most my teachers already know I have trouble speaking and have an IEP. So they don’t bother calling on me. I just try and keep my head down and not talk to anyone. I only talk when absolute necessary....

Hi

Hi Uhhhh, I don't really post on here—kinda been lurking around—but I just wanted to rant about some things. I've had a really bad stutter: the long pauses, head jerks, repetition—the whole nine yar...

What I hate the most about

What I hate the most about When you are having a conversation about stuttering and they say : “But you didn’t stutter right now” after you just pulled off two exhausting minutes of mental gymnastics...

Does anyone feel nervous while ordering meals in person?

Does anyone feel nervous while ordering meals in person? I hope I’m not the only one. But at times for sure a stutter may come out while ordering like drive thru or even ordering food at a sit down pl...

Does anyone feel insecure while having a stutter in a relationship?

Does anyone feel insecure while having a stutter in a relationship? I’ve been with my girlfriend for pretty much half a year already and we are on track to hit a year and more to come. I will say I’m ...

Fascinating that some kids become fluent after 3 years.  I've heard of this and forgotten.  I can imagine them being so comfortable and not caring to such an extent that they don't think twice about i...

You really need therapy man. The problem with stuttering is that we tend to project all our self limiting beliefs onto others. The reality is that most people really don't care. But really, get some...
