My stuttering also got worse in this pandemic. Being with myself for mostly everyday and having minimum interactions made me less social and also quite addictive to my mobile phone. I'm trying to cope...

Hey there. Just wanted to say you aren’t alone, I know exactly how you feel. Back in the day I was also the one always volunteering for roles where I’d have to publicly speak, gave guest lectures as a...

If I can ask, what life stage are you at (school, college work etc)? I've made a real concerted effort recently to take ownership of it. I've started a new job role in the last six months, it's all b...

I think the worst reaction I've seen is this look that says "You poor thing." I feel like people don't take me seriously when I stutter. I used to get made fun of in school too, but at least adults ...

My entire life basically. To this day a lot of people treat me like a shy 13 year old even though I'm in my 20s. Everything was "Why don't you put yourself out there? Stop being shyyy" or "Are you afr...

Suffocating

Suffocating Like everyone else, I know I need to stay positive and not let my stammering define me. But I just need to rant LOL I feel. emotionally drained. Like all the time. I developed my stammer...

Not nervous in regular situations but I do get nervous and anxious when I'm anticipating certain speaking situations. Only because I'm worried about stuttering....

Happens to me at least once a week. Even with group of friends when we play games like Mafia, everyone thinks Im the Mafia and thats why I stutter and nervous lol...

I feel you. With me, especially teachers in school would be like "just breathe, stop and breathe with me, in and out, don't be nervous" and it's so annoying lol. They manage to get you from not nervou...

Right now phlebotomy but eventually I want to do MLT. It fine so far, although when the stutter acts up the patients think I'm nervous....

Oh she's nervous

Oh she's nervous Anyone hate when people write you off as being nervous when you absolutely are not? Many things can make my stutter worse including being excited about something or a routine change. ...

Definitely. When I'm speaking I often realise I've said something that I really didn't mean, and get more and more anxious as I try and dig myself out of the hole. I can't concentrate on what I'm say...

Yep, me too. The only way out of it is to speak more. Become numb to the feeling of being anxious with your speech and then focus on the topic discussed instead of whether or not you might stutter. It...

I’ve often equated it to white noise or static. When I get anxious, I really struggle to access the correct words...

I think that depends on the country. Where I live stuttering is seen as just being nervous, so people think that I'm just always nervous....

Well there was quite a few times where I'd stumble over my words more because I was excited or anxious and what not. So that does make a lot of sense actually...

I saw your other comments man and first I want to say: please ask for help. If this becomes a life long stutter, you are going to wish you reached out to someone sooner. Don’t be afraid of your parent...

I mean I've always stumbled over words and what not but that's just normal that's not a stutter. When they pointed it out I couldn't stop thinking about it and that didn't help....
