Hi, 19M from Melbourne Australia I relate to you on a deep level, as phone calls are always extremely challenging for me and make me extremely anxious. Especially with people I don't know too well, o...

I've never posted to Reddit before, I know this post is old but I thought id share my experience with Stuttering (stammering). I just started University in Melbourne, Australia (19) male and curr...

I found myself in a position not unlike your own a decade ago when I was your age. Then I got a tumor in my throat and had a radical perspective shift. Five words effectively saved my mental health....

Oh this is awesome!! I think I'll sacrifice the psych test tomorrow for this 1. It used to a lot, and I'll admit it still can at some times, but most times it doesn't. 2. I used to do therapy from I...

Amazon Job interview

Amazon Job interview I just finished my final round with Amazon. The first two interviewers were great—really helpful and seemed to like my answers. The last interviewer was tough. I stuttered the mo...

Aww, I remember being 10… what a great age to be! Great idea to reach out to other stutterers… I didn’t meet another stutterer until I was 18, and I started when I was 6 years old. 1. It does bother ...

Thank you for your input. By going mute, I mean completely mute as in I’d never speak no matter who I’m with. It’s just not worth looking the way I do when I speak. My face freezes and twitches. My ey...

What a great idea, and Iove the questions! Questions: 1. Does stuttering bother you? At age 41, not anymore, but it did for a very long time. 2. Do you do any sort of therapy for your stuttering? O...

I'm in the Air Force, 18 years in June. You'll get a ration of shit in Basic but play along. Once people see you can laugh at yourself it stops marking you as "other". The worst thing you can do is ...

I stutter and was in the USMC for 8 years. I don't stutter that bad but you can tell and be prepared to be made fun of a lot. You can't let it hurt you....

I no longer repeat my words like St-st-st-stop I-i-i-i-it. Now It's silent. I make no noise until I can fully say the word. So my flow is very choppy and I can only say 1 word at a time... sometimes I...

Hey! I’m also 18, and my stutter is really bad. I used to be so ashamed of it that I didn’t even like to acknowledge it. I would just talk, hoping to speak fluently, and if I wasn’t, I’d try to end th...

No, I would never use it as a joke. I’m generally speaking not so much of a joke person. I’m fine talking about the stuttering if someone brings it up but I wouldn’t bring it up on my own....

What panic stories do you tell yourself while stuttering happens?

What panic stories do you tell yourself while stuttering happens? I'm on the tail end of working through a lot of mental trauma that got out of hand, giving me OCD, daily panic attacks and a couple mo...

It takes a lot of practice to slip into Character. You would have to watch a ton of clips of similar characters to visualize what that character would do, think, and say, and dress. You have to take i...

I used to be a teacher and I never stuttered in front of students. I always explained it to people this exact way. I wasn't me when I taught, I was the teacher, a character. And that character doesn't...

Idk why but I don't want anyone to know that I stutter, I don't want those sympathetic eyes and expressions. I don't wanna feel vulnerable in front of others. Idk if i will ever be able to stutter con...

Yes, I can be very outspoken/extroverted, but when my stutter is really bad I can’t even if I wanted. Being in social situations where I want to lead conversations when basically all I can do is liste...
