People at office treat me like I'm stupid & slow, and they laugh behind my back

People at office treat me like I'm stupid & slow, and they laugh behind my back Hi there, So, I obviously stutter that's why I'm here. I work from office as Software engineer. Have noticed that s...

Thank you!! I agree that food is a problem and a source of unhealthy comfort. I want to start working out and taking care of myself. I need to get out of my comfort zone. I don't know how to break the...

Thank you! I definitely need an outlet. Right now, it's just work and home. I need to break out of my shell and find a hobby....

Th above comment is very accurate. “Communication is not defined by fluency. AND, as long as it is, you will not dream, you will not speak, and you will not live your life to the fullest.” “Speaki...

As someone who had a similar situation when I was younger, I can't recommend deleting social media like Instagram/Facebook off your phone enough! That shits going to mess with you non stop with basic...

It is unappealing to people but the alternative would be silent blocking in their face for 30 seconds or more which seems more unappealing so the phone thing feels like the reasonable choice to me. I’...

I write down most of my communication because my stutter is so bad. Very frequently people think I’m deaf and I WAY prefer someone trying to be accommodating over someone who’s being a dick and trying...

I am in the same boat, and the same country btw Had a similar experience on my birthday the last year my first panic attack ever i was picked up by an ambulance and when i arrived at the emergency dep...

Hiding from it was the worst thing I ever did. Exposure is the absolute best thing I ever did. I do still have anxiety but now I can take a deep breath and make a phone call I need to make instead of ...

I used to walk 20 mins to a store just to find out they didn't have what I wanted because I was too afraid to make a phone call. Mild or severe you're not alone. It's your fault if you do nothing ab...

Yeah definitely. I’m 27 and I’ve been to different speech therapists, speech camps and other methods. Nothing seems to work long term and it’s exhausting since my stuttering mainly is long blocks for ...

I, also, don’t really talk unless I have to. It’s exhausted to keep a conversation. A ten minute conversation; afterwards I feel like I ran a marathon....

I think I would be a very different person if I could speak normally. I would love to be able to socialize, to discuss things and give my opinions, to talk to girls, to be funny. I'm pretty much force...

Tons. Talking isn't just some activity that comes up every now and then -- normal humans are expected to communicate constantly. My stutter affects every interaction all day long every day. It affects...

My stutter feels to be getting worse

My stutter feels to be getting worse I have a stutter that I remember always having, it's not a "thinking fast" kind of stutter like saying "i-i-i- I like something". Idk if that was a good explanatio...

In elementary school when my stutter was really bad I basically had no friends and was a loner. But then when I got to high school my stutter was less prevalent and I got a lot more friends. It sucks ...

Yes, exactly. I personally *vastly* prefer a really abnormal life over none at all, and I don’t even think stuttering is an intrinsically horrible ailment. Everyone has problems, and I feel lucky mine...

For my interpretation, I take fluency out of the equation. Voluntary stuttering, fear reduction/tolerance/acceptance is about feeling in control of the situation and doing whatever I want and saying ...

We all know sometimes stutterers avoid speaking situations...so by having the girl call off a date because we stutter....yes that's rude!!! But it's like she is wanting to avoid the stuttering perso...

So, It's been 14 years in sales!

So, It's been 14 years in sales! Not sure why exactly am I posting this experience but it'll help me think out loud and might help others that feel related to this. I still don't know how I managed ...
