Stuttering and your experience in the work force

Stuttering and your experience in the work force Hi guys. This is more directed to stutterers in the workforce but I am happy to hear college experiences too if you wish. I know that from reading some...

Yeah, the confidence part is what I absolutely do not have. I go to the same Walgreens a bajillion times a day/week, and yet I walk up to the pharmacy counter (with trepidation every time), they ask ...

Stuttering Struggles

Stuttering Struggles So basically I was being interviewed by my friend for his project. All the questions were based on my tennis game. The problem was that I LITERALLY COULD NOT SAY "TENNIS", the mai...

I think most people are just surprised when they meet a stutterer because it's so rare. They don't know how to react. And, this sucks, but stuttering can be mistaken for nervousness, so they may j...

I haven't seen IT, but I have seen what I believe to be a scene from IT - the mother or a friend or someone (memory has robbed me of the specifics) is helping the child with practicing their speech. T...

This is really inspiring to see! I still struggle a lot just with the fear and anxiety of going up to order or talk....

I don't mention it in my profile. Although as a guy online dating tends to be a bit more cutthroat so you're likely more free to do so. That said, the first time I ever escalated to a phone call t...

Should I tell people I stutter? Online dating

Should I tell people I stutter? Online dating I'm a 24f female. I haven't dated a lot of people, but I've recently started back through an online platform. I have a mild stutter, it's not really bad b...

I'm a white woman so I can understand the "woman" part. The majority of stutterers I see are males and the only woman I can think of died over 50 years ago (Marilyn Monroe). 1. Representation matter...

I don't know how to avoid it

I don't know how to avoid it There's this religious activity that I do every weekend just like others (I'm being vague because I don't want to give much details making it identifiable) and there are t...

This could work really well for me! Thanks for sharing! Good breathing is the base of speaking fluently. But your mind has to be super super strong. Because if you fuck up one time, you can start pa...

I’m a guy and I’ll get married in the near future. Do tell me how you managed to lower your anxiety while talking to the girl and her parents/relatives. Because introducing myself is nothing less than...

Not being able to share stories

Not being able to share stories After I got left out *yet again* by a group of people I hoped to be friends with, I sat down and thought. Stutter aside, what about me makes me unable to connect with o...

There is also another benefit to this method, which is when you focus on your breathing while talking to someone, you automatically pay less attention to your stutter and what other people think if yo...

Is it possible I’m making up my stutter for attention?

Is it possible I’m making up my stutter for attention? I’m worried I’m making a conscious choice to stutter for attention. I’m 21 years old and as far as I (and anyone in my family can recall) I’ve ne...

I've had one guy flat out tell me he avoids talking to me because of my stutter, because he doesn't want to make me struggle like that. He was just being overly honest, but it's obvious other people...

I used to work in a big box retail shop, in the PC department. The digital camera department was right next to us, so we all were cool with each other and interacted just fine, or so i thought. I ha...

First off, the world is a better place with you in it. So thank you for still being with us. 2nd, I get it. My mind runs thinking they feel so uncomfortable because my stuttering sounds weird. I've de...

I think my middle name is last resort because I don't even have a real middle name lol but I know what you mean. Unfortunately, I feel the same way as you do but its because of the side effects of stu...
