The worst for me is when they say: “Could you repeat that?”. Come on man, it was hard to say it in the first time!...

Totally agree, with twist! When you beat yourself up for stuttering, you are reliving the trauma again. As someone who stuttered for a very long time, that was me. I did this too. I eventually learne...

The though process of a guy while having a minute long block: "this is good for my confidence". /s...

And I knew exactly what I was getting myself into too, I guess I didn’t think it was going to be this hard , I didn’t think the customers would basically be verbally abusing me over my stutter . That ...

I have those days, a few weeks ago I met a bunch of friends in a park to grill and hangout. I saw a bunch of people I knew and a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in a while and I couldn’t say more than a...

Life isn't middle school. If you're so sure this is good advice, then act on it and see what it gets you. It's more trouble than it's worth. And yes, I'm saying to surround yourself with good people ...

Yes I would say so. I do it after I've failed to say a word due to having a speech block. I think laughing or smiling in dire or uncomfortable situation serves to diffuse the tension and make things l...

positives: - I know who makes an effort to come into my life/the relationship I make with them because, let’s be real, my stutter is fairly severe and it can be hard to get comfortable with when you ...

uhhh idk if this is gonna offend you, if it does my bad but I would’ve called any individual that acted like your mom an asshole, for 1. She’s pointing out a very nitpick qualities that’s not hurting ...

Arab here. When I speak فصحى I speak much fluently (still not perfect). English is also more fluent but I still struggle with some sentences (not as bad as when I speak in dialect). Stutter is like...

You're so valid for this. I also relate immensly! It is absolutely frustrating for me when I say something so fluently or with minimal stuttering, and then someone says "what?" or "huh?" or rudely say...

That used to really frustrate me! So I get where you’re coming from. It was the finishing of my sentences that I really hated. The thing that, just sharing, was used that frustration and humiliation ...

I've made peace with having a stutter, but the one thing that always gets me is being interrupted

I've made peace with having a stutter, but the one thing that always gets me is being interrupted My stutter is a bit of a mixed bag. Pretty much every kind of stutter, block or stammer I've had to de...

Why can't God have made me speak properly

Why can't God have made me speak properly I was raised in a religious household all my life and my speech has always been a subject of prayer within my church and family. But today I think I got to my...

People do not say this to me but my response to this, my initial thought, is that I don’t care that you don’t care because I care greatly - does that make sense?...

Taking it at face value, it's well-meaning, but it's like someone saying, "We don't care about your cat," or "We don't care about the leak in your bathroom." My cat and my bathroom obviously has no im...

Definitely not alone. The fast pace of conversation is my main frustration with stuttering....

My life is psychological torment

My life is psychological torment I feel so alone - no parents, no girlfriend, no friends. Every single time I try to talk to someone, I feel so anxious, much worse than I used to. I don’t fit in, I’m ...

Yes. If I have to keep living like this, then I don't want to live at all. It's like torture that no one around you has. It's painful to watch people who don't stutter to waste their voice or not use ...

People assuming I’ve been drinking. 😪 Or that in plastered. Oh and being told to take a deep breath. Fuck off....
