Hi xoebox, I hear what you're going through. I've stuttered since I was 5 years old or so (I'm 34 now). I know exactly what you mean when you describe it as "draining". I think that's an excellent wa...

I just want to speak.

I just want to speak. Most of the times I stutter, I dismiss it and keep going because it is not worth my time to wallow in my sadness. But every now and again I will realize how idiotic I sound. How ...

Yeah but I kind of do not want to accept it and I know that I have unrealistic expectations of a miracle recover. But I have also noticed that I don't have any self esteem anymore and wonder if it cou...

That's the hard part about my severe stutter. It feels like I can't show the real self to other people, because my stutter acts as a wall. My real self is a talkative, assertive and extraverted person...

Imagine the roll you could play in a young stutterers life.... I wish I had a teacher that stuttered and owned it when I was in high school. They might know you stutter, but do they actually know what...

Honestly if I would not stutter, I would first be a quite smartass and surely annoying to other people. People like me now because I dont say everything i think of. Stuttering is annoying as f***, but...

I think it just takes up more space in general. On occasions where I stutter a lot, it's very clear to me what's going on, and those around me too. Other times, where I more succesfully communicate w...

I'm not sure really, I don't consider myself to be much of a social person anyway. I do talk to people and friends but I only go out when I have a reason to. I suppose it would make it easier to meet ...

Idk because there are many socially inept people without a stutter. I wouldn't be surprised if I was just using it as an excuse to be less sociable....

Yes. There are too many times where I really want to answer questions I know, be a more open person, actually be able to tell jokes, and not be afraid to talk to girls for the first time. I'm managing...

I get you, but I don't really care what others think of me. It's more of my opinion on myself. You know that feeling you get when you've put on 20lbs without really noticing and then you finally not...

I started stuttering when I was around 14 years old. Before that, I used to be the most eloquent, the most fluent, the most social kid there ever was. I had the ability to go up to a random group of p...
