Guilty....guilty for what?? You have nothing to feel guilty about. Nothing! If any of what I said was a little bit helpful, I am very glad. I realize it's a huge leap coming from where you are. ...

We are extremely similar! I made a post about this a few months ago, though I feel a lot more uncomfortable than mad. Like other people say, it's projection; it's what oyu think about yourself project...

This 100% - and also OP, no - you're not the only one. I have gotten over this though. It began as anger, then morphed into pain, and then when I accepted my stutter - I stopped feeling all those thin...

1. Don't ever give a damn about other people laughing at you for any reason. Remember, you weren't given an option to choose whether to stutter or not. So, don't let anyone let you down on this matter...

I had a similar experience. In elementary school it would usually happen for a couple weeks at the beginning of the year before teachers caught on. Also kids would usually make a comment during their ...

Now I'm imagining ordering coffee in an exaggerated pet voice. *Yes I would like a coffee! Yes I would!* I'm certainly not perfect now, but I'm a lot better than I used to be. What's helped me is...

I mean let's be brutally honest; who wants to see someone stutter on screen for 90 minutes? I think it's encouraging for anyone famous to "admit" to dealing with human obstacles, no matter if it's act...

Yes, well, this is somewhat an East/West divide, the huge cultural difference between conformity and individualism. Never that black and white, of course. And there are good and bad things about eac...

Does this happen to anyone else?

Does this happen to anyone else? Ok, so I have stuttered for as long as I can remember. Even though I do still stutter, 1) it's not nearly as bad as it was when I was a kid, and 2) I've conditioned m...

Thanks for taking your time to write that detailed reply, I find it really informative. It is interesting how americans take pride in their individualism, while here in Indonesia, the word 'individua...

Yes, yes, you described it from your point of view. For *you* it is a constant anxiety, a weight, a fear. I'm sure it is for others as well. Even in an "outgoing" country, not everyone can be outgo...

I'm 30 now & have an 8 year old son. Just like you, I always worried that he would stutter as well & it scared the hell out of me. I always thought that was the last thing I would want for him...

I'm young but I work as a finance admin assistant doing filing and sorting for a business's finance department. Every time I go to work I say "Good morning, how are you?" and make sure I have a small ...

I do quite frequently. Sometimes it's really the only way I can speak. I'm often complimented for my large vocabulary. No one really knows it's a defensive mechanism. I don't mind stuttering as much a...

I used to word swap all the time but I felt so dumb. So lately I've just said fuck it and let people wait. They know I stutter, so a small little stutter is the same as a long one....

It certainly does, all day every day. It was very hard and nerve-wracking at first, but also the trial by fire I needed to accept and get over my stutter. No one treats me any differently and I'm just...

For me it's because I don't feel pressure to be anything with her other than myself. I don't have to worry about her liking me. ...

As a uni lecturer, I give at least one lecture to 50+ students every week. Let me tell you this, what you have to do is go in there with a mindset of "If I stutter, I stutter. If I don't, that's great...

Speech buffer. I know it's probably unkind to some people but I just can't take my own stutter serious anymore. Life's short enjoy it listen to vinyl it sounds better. ...

I used to feel like that and still do sometimes. Now I preface my job interviews with the fact that I stutter and most of the times the interviewer is cool with it. If you stutter just pretend like it...
