Haha this is funny. And at one point true. Then I reached “fuck it” and made them listen and get stared at by me....

I agree with you it's ridiculous, in that, avoidance techniques might become a negative coping mechanism. I think, for some individuals it can still be useful to swap words for example to prevent trau...

Yeah sure but also I can pull out the ole "did I stutter?" And it's way funnier than any non-stuttering person saying the same thing. You gotta find strengths...

i don‘t think my stutter affects my personality or limits me in life, at least not in the way others here describe it. i don’t care about validation from others anymore, all i care about is if i can l...

Interesting take on my question, you make some good points although I have to disagree with you on two things: 1.) "You only think you would be an outgoing boss because you never had the chance to."...

EVERYONE here thinks they would be extroverted and outgoing af. Yeah thats what i expected. Yk everyone knows the importance of something they dont have. Those who have it dont know its importance. Yo...

Avoiding it and other similar situations will only make you stutter more in the long run. Just go and do your best, it is what it is....

Yeah exactly! You go to explain, you then stutter more, and you totally lose the audience. I consider myself humorous too. When my brain does not cause me to stutter, I make people laugh, a lot. But ...

I think I’m kind of an outgoing person. I always have thoughts of “what if I could do this” or “it would be cool if I could do that” ….but that’s If I didn’t have this stutter. But I do…and it’s tur...

See this is why I feel like a large majority of PWS are not introverted at all or not THAT introverted. What you described is essentially a high social battery that is craving to be fulfilled by inter...

People always think I am mad at them??

People always think I am mad at them?? Any context where I need to explain anything to anyone the other person takes on obvious feelings that I am yelling at them. I need to speak in short clear phras...

I think I would be a lot less shy. Not the most outgoing person in the room, but definitely more confident, funnier and more charming. A lot of the time I find that being with other people (people I c...

THIS IS ME! I always think of how different my life would be if I could speak with fluency. All the missed jokes, quips, flirtatious remarks, repartees and comebacks I've never said because they all r...

Im definitely an ambivert lol, sometimes I’d be rlly extroverted and sometimes I’d just wanna chill by myself I also notice my stutter might fluctuate with my confidence levels...

But, if you don't mind could you answer my original question about your 'true personality'? And how stuttering has affected it?...

True, Right now i am giving this great advice, But i myself hesitate to talk around people. But now i am quite more free and can open conversation and approach people. With little or no stuttering. ...

I think I'm a lot more extroverted than I ever expected to be. I was homeschooled growing up and very socially isolated (I wonder if that made my stutter worse from lack of practice talking to people....

I mean I'm kinda outspoken person today, but as compared to my childhood, I'm less outspoken. Yes, I'm still conscious about my stuttering development.....

Yeah, some people thought I was secretive and oddly quiet, but others thought the exact opposite, as I would often break the ice and liven up conversations. It depends on the severity of my stutter: s...

Interesting! Well I really appreciate your responses to my thread and I hope that you can continue to break out of the false introverted shell that stuttering places so many people in. You seem like a...
