Anyone ever lie about things just because sometimes telling the truth will make you stutter?

Anyone ever lie about things just because sometimes telling the truth will make you stutter? Kind of a funny story even though it's really frustrating and I hate lying but for example I met someone ye...

How do I stop stuttering when talking to people?

How do I stop stuttering when talking to people? When I’m alone, I talk perfectly. I don’t stutter at all, just like I never had a stutter. But when I’m talking to someone, I stutter. How do I talk...

Don’t do what I did. I cowered in the back of the class and acted like I never knew any answers, often replaced words, hardly went to social gatherings, etc., due to my fear of stuttering. It limited ...

I think it's also because of expectations. Like those who you're around the most expect you to talk and behave a certain way, so it feels like you kinda have to fit yourself in that shell in order to ...

I used it once and haven’t touched it since. The image of myself wearing a “hearing aid” and having a stutter was ridiculous in my eyes. In all it actually allowed me to really accept my stutter and j...

This is just guessing now but since it only happens with people close to you, could be because you care so much for them? So much even that you want to be "perfect" for them? Do you feel ashamed becau...

It’s the r’s, h’s, and L’s for me. I worked in retail too for a while so the usual How are you? at the beginning and Have a nice day! at the end wouldn’t quite work out so I’d have to rephrase on the ...

It's not pretty privilege. It's the fact your comfortable with yourself and choose good people to be around you. I'm a 24 yo man now, but as a kid I definitely had some bullies. It didn't stop me from...

I'm sure pretty privilege plays a part in being more confident, but from my experience, most people don't make fun of stutterers because they don't want to be perceived as an asshole. I'm a woman an...

I feel like my innie would stutter more. I've been training for years in using avoidance techniques and breath resets. My innie would just inherit the problem without the baggage of solutions I've dev...

Also, I’m positive that making jokes about stuttering on the Lumon property is a no so nobody would ever say anything. If Lumon does one single thing right, it’s *appearing* to be gracious....

I definitely think pretty privilege plays a part! I was a bit of an ugly duckling growing up and was bullied relentlessly at school for my stutter. But I had a "glow up" in high school and everyone ju...

I definitely agree with the self confidence thing. I’m a female and I would consider myself quite attractive so looks do come in handy. However I’d say I’m quite confident and extroverted and althou...
