I’ve been stuttering since 4 years old, and I’m currently working towards my masters. I’m not in law school, but I have to speak often, take part in discussion groups and presentations, and give case ...

YESSS!!! Everytime I got called on I'll just talk fast to get it over with. I dont stutter much while I'm reading as long as I dont think about it. Like when we did popcorn reading I would just keep t...

Ugh, that was the worst, especially that "popcorn" reading bullshit! I used to hide in the bathrooms back in HS, tbh haha....

Still hate it. There's one trainer who comes through every couple of years and she does the "lets go around the room and everyone read a paragraph" bullshit. Everyone hates it not just me. Last time w...

Yes and it was aways the worst thing ever. Some of my teachers would allow me to refuse, but most did not. Or that whole "go around the room" and read thing. Ugh. But yeah it really sucks. Because a ...

I've had a stutter since the day I was born. It's worse when I'm stuck to a script I can't change; "steer" around words that I know are going to give me a problem. Back in middle school, I was the s...

Yess! I’m a cashier and can usually go through the day with minimal stuttering. However, whenever I call my mom or have FaceTime calls with my family it’s like every second word is a stutter....

Yesterday the phone rang, when I answered it and tried to say "hello" I lost the word. Tried two more times, still couldn't say it, swore (didn't have any problem saying "damn it!") and then hung up. ...

Thats so wild because I’ve never encountered another stutterer who experiences this - maybe I just don’t know many stutterers!! But yes agreed it’s v frustrating, it’s a shit show for me at home too I...
