Disclosing lines

Disclosing lines Anyone have any good lines they use for disclosing to people? I have an over-the-phone job interview tomorrow, needless to say I’m extremely anxious, but I think that I would feel bet...

Just don't think about it, the more you dwell on it the more it just brings up the stutter. Whatever happens happens and just focus on the subject or anything else. Over time then it'll get easier i...

Isn't it crazy how much we can all relate to each other's experiences? It's wild because I too am afraid to get close to people or make new friends. I tend to think they won't really want to talk to m...

It’s so amazing to feel that this post speaks to me cause I can totally relate! I don’t necessarily speak less or really let other people speak for me per say. But I really struggle with being confide...

Those are definitely my main focuses right now. I would say my self esteem is at its lowest when I go out with my friends or boyfriend. It sucks when everyone is able to just freely conversate or put ...

It's so awesome that you run your own business and don't let your speech hold you back. I constantly stutter. I would say that I am most of the time anxious if I know I have to be in a speaking situat...

These are feelings every stutterer has. But your stutter DOES NOT define you or your intelligence. Don’t worry about getting in other peoples way. It’s your life, not theirs. Also, stress makes stut...

Need advice

Need advice I am really bad at putting my thoughts into writing but bear with me. I've read so many of your stories and they're so admirable. For the past few years I've started to speak less and less...

Lol, I know that feeling. What I have found though, is people with less severe stutters often times have a worse relationship with their stutter. They usually beat themselves up even more. So it's n...

Stuttering and law school?

Stuttering and law school? My dad’s a lawyer and I’m a junior in college taking up a pre-law course + a minor program and I’m pretty much set for law school. I’ve made some progress with my stutter bu...

Am I going to stutter till forever?

Am I going to stutter till forever? Hello, I am currently 17 years old, I've been stuttering ever since I can remember (probably started at age 5 or 6) and I would consider the severity of my stutter ...

Yep. High authority figures make me anxious. My father used to be hard on me and abuse me a lot so I guess that is why I stutter. I used to be beaten physically by him for many years but he doesn't be...

I look at it as having a stutter has fed my social anxiety. Introversion is a personality trait and the world needs us in it. For me, finding the techniques that work for me to manage my stutter has...

We all have that feeling of never being good enough, we all have dreams that we would love to accomplish in life. Dreams that are held back by a curse is what it feels like. Everytime we feel like thi...

That's good to hear. I remember the first interview I went to, I just managed to say my name and then walked out and almost passed out from the anxiety. But it's much better now obviously. But tbh I h...

Stuttering affecting my future career.

Stuttering affecting my future career. Hello everyone! I am currently going to school to become a future health care practitioner. I am feeling like success is far away as I am finding it harder and h...

Always wanted to stream and make YouTube videos but my stutter hold me back, better yet my fear of stuttering holds me back....

One billion percent, at least in my experience. There have been so many times that I’ve decided not to start saying something out of fear that I couldn’t finish it....

This is also the case with me Usually when I tried to read aloud in speech therapy. I would just look at the the first letter and pray I could pronounce it If the word starts with the letter B I ten...

Exactly. The beginning of the sentence is really when you feel the most pressure, it's where you will feel the most judgement from the other person. They may think "why is he talking to me" "what does...
