I have hid my stutter for as long as I can remember and I would recommend not doing what I did. I have developed such an anxiety because of it that has destroyed my social life. I’m an introvert natur...

I unfortunately avoid and don’t attend gatherings as much as possible, female here… reason: to spare me the horrors of talking to people I’m not that close with, and the psychological exhaustion I fee...

They don't know.  They are immature and naive with likely not enough life experience yet if they react that way. If possible, overlook it. Don't forget it either.  That said, laughter is an involunt...

It's just a way to politely (and elegantly) shed the light on the matter without making you feel uncomfortable or rude. There is no way in hell stuttering is cute in any imaginable way. The girl likes...

I think it’s because people will just boil it down to being “nervous” or “anxious” which pisses me off because I think it should considered a disability cause it’s something that didn’t curable necess...

Hang in there, I’m a stutterer too. Admittedly, mine is mild, but there are definitely times of life when I would consider myself in the moderate category. I’ve only met a couple of doctors with a stu...

Yep. Works wonders for me. Been a stutter-er my entire life & benzos feel like the cheat code to stuttering & the anxiety that comes with it. But, I mean, there’s problems with that. If you feel you h...

My stutter was also caused because of complex trauma. Every day I imagine how different my life would be if I hadn't experienced those things. Life is not much different now, in fact I'd say it's wo...

I don't know. I guess it varies from person to person. I had speech therapy, but it didn't help me. Reading out loud, talking slower, nothing helped me. But I guess it also depends on some factors. I ...
