Stuttering as a disorder has nothing to do with anxiety or nerves. They can make it worse, but they aren’t the root cause. What the root cause is, we don’t know, but we know that there are strong gene...

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...

I often tell myself I was given this stutter to overcome it. Communication is my weakness but we are supposed to laser focus on our weakness over standing on our strengths...

i got second in a speech competition! this was quite a while ago, but i found this sub recently and i thought it would be nice to share it here! i came second in a solo speech competition in my class...

I never thought of it that way, that is a sort of insecurity to show your emotions but you are right at least for me... when I am angry or speak up or really really confident of my case it’s fluent!...

I think it's more a fear of expressing your emotions, or being vulnerable. Most of us are also perfectly fluent when we talk very angrily...

Sometimes I go to tell a joke, but my stutter robs all the comedic timing and phrasing out of it so people think I'm serious. It's landed me in awkward situations several times now....

My god this is one of the most frustrating parts of having a stutter. When you have something funny to say, then try to get it out in conversation and you just trip over yourself and suck the humor an...

i can barely say my actual name, in medical situations when i need to say my legal name it's even worse 💀...

i think it’s the latter, because my name is quite short, but i can never say it easily when i’m put on the spot...

Same but that’s something I don’t quite understand is it because of some specific letters or some names are longer or harder than others Or is it because no matter what your name is you will stutter ...

Of course! I mean without it, we’d actually be able to express ourselves without hindrance. And not only that, but not have to do puzzles in our heads and conjure up techniques every time we speak. I ...

Exactly how I feel. I feel like there's only a very limited vocabulary I'm able to choose from when I'm speaking. I can't express myself. I can only speak in grunts and one word sentences and the othe...
