As everybody else, stutterers and fluent people, it depends on the situation I'm in. If I'm feeling comfortable, around friends or friendly strangers, I'm usually an extrovert....

I don't like the dichotomy (intro/extro). It's gotten very popular, though. Apart from that, I think I'm like what you describe (but I don't define it in terms of intro/extro). I think a lot of us ar...

Behind your stutter, are you an extrovert or introvert?

Behind your stutter, are you an extrovert or introvert? There is a common assumption that all people who stutter are naturally introverted shy people. However, I don't think this is the case. Personal...

I do stutter 100% of the time. I'm a stutterer. ...

There is most likely not. I have a stutter, and I am doing more than well studying computer science. Smartest guy in my generation has a stutter as well. Just look at all the famous people who had/hav...

Yea, I suppose I could word the last part better. What I mean is stuttering is not solely a physical issue, but rather a greater emotional-self identity issue. Also, per the original question - how a...

For me it has been looking at my stutter as a reflection of a greater spiritual/psychological issue. I've came to the conclusion that I created my stutter on some level of mind/consciousness and it is...

Finally going to Speech Therapy.

Finally going to Speech Therapy. Hey guys, Well I finally got in touch with my university's Communications Disorders Clinic and will be starting speech therapy sessions in July! I have had therapy bef...

I apologize for making it seem that way. I didn't mean to belittle stuttering. As someone who has had a moderate stutter all my life (and most of my family members do as well), I completely understand...

I really like your attitude and advice, but disagree with calling a speech impairment a minor thing. Communication is such an important aspect of life that too many people take for granted. When you h...

Good to hear, man! Just remember to be confident and don't let something as minor as a speech impairment stop you from being who you really are. You deserve more than that! There's a lot more to you t...

My week was ok, friday was the last day in college/sixth form in year 13 and I said my goodbyes to people i'll never see again and signed t-shirts etc. It was compulsory to come into school the past f...

Its not about staying positive, its about staying realistic. Life is not rainbows and lollipops the whole time but its not doom and gloom the whole time either. In general, the way I try to live m...

Help getting a girlfriend

Help getting a girlfriend I'm 17 and i've missed like 3-4 opportunities of getting a gf. My stutter, insecurity, low self steem and 0 commitment have been my biggest obstacles for the last 2 years. M...

Not great, I was introduced to three new people, and couldn't say my name to any of them, one guy thought I said Kelly, I just went with it, I figure I'll never see them again. It's kind of depressing...

I'm very comfortable talking to my family, friends but I get the odd moment when I stutter. Do you read books? My SO said for me to start reading more often because it'll help me out a lot. I read a...

Topics might be a good idea. I know talking about my week (specially if it was a boring one) could get stale. Having a topic (loosely enforced of course) would be good for those of us that might want ...

I think of my stuttering as more of a problem for other people than it is for me. I never think about it usually, I just barrel on through. But in high school I did have a teacher write a letter for a...

I can see where the discrepancy is. And you make a really good point. But "gamer," "driver" or "golfer" aren't generally associated with something that isn't perceived as normal like stuttering in the...

I know this is an old thread (well, old by reddit terms but this is not exactly a super-active sub) but am I the only one who doesnt care about the term "stutterer"? because i own a car i am a 'drive...
