An Undergrad Nightmare Story

An Undergrad Nightmare Story Just a story that I recalled from my undergrad. I went on to graduate school, so I survived, haha, but this will always stand out as something I really felt traumatized ov...

just had my first job interview

just had my first job interview and, while i don’t wanna be hard on myself for the sake of my self esteem, i just feel very bummed out over how often i stutteref?? like i took 120g of propranolol to c...

I’m 24 and yeah people tend to think I’m “slow” until they actually take the time to listen and hold a conversation with me and it usually ends up with them blown away by the depth I can take any conv...

>but they probably think I'm kind of an airhead at times (I'm a woman, mostly covert stutterer). I do the, 'Oh, gosh, what's that incredibly common word, I just can't think of it' thing. Are you m...

Hahaha!!! I primarily block, and I do the "hmm it was on the tip of my tongue" stuff all the time....

I'm the same way. I absolutely despise small talk because of this. my stuttering isn't as bad as it was growing up but it's still there and it's never going to fully go away. it's hurt my self esteem ...

I hate it, I'm literally at the point now where when meeting someone, I'll just say hi and not introduce myself. So it's like "Hi, I'm John Doe, nice to meet you" *Shakes hand* "Hi, nice to meet you"...

My name also, which is so frustrating. But for whatever reason my birth year, which I have to give at the Pharmacy when getting prescriptions, I have to stop and say um a lot until the block is over, ...

I basically quit saying my last name (it has 4/5 consonants), I spell it for people - as those are usually people asking for document files and similar....

Saying your name

Saying your name I swear I am so over my name and introducing myself. My first and last name starts with an M which is the letter that gives me the most trouble! I had to introduce myself 3 seperate t...

Hey OP. I just wanted to say I totally understand how you feel. I don't think people think I'm slow, exactly, but they probably think I'm kind of an airhead at times (I'm a woman, mostly covert stutte...

I’m in Ministry. I don’t usually say that on reddit because my profile features cannabis which I use privately. Reddit is the only place I’m public about it....

Stuttered at work

Stuttered at work I’ve recently started working a different are of my job. It was like every time I needed to ask something I had a bad stutter. I usually don’t let it bother me but being in a new po...

I think that's a great list but many points on that comes FROM stuttering and not the other way around. They are the effects, not the causes. Thanks for starting this thread, conversations like th...

What traits, habits or quirks do you see in stutterers/yourself?

What traits, habits or quirks do you see in stutterers/yourself? I don't mean just "I have a hard time with H" (fuck every job ever that made me answer a phone and start with the word "Hello") I mean ...

I’m still in highschool but have a decently bad stutter. Right now it’s slightly hard for me to form a coherent sentence in class or even just with my friends. During class one way it’s kind of made ...

Also, from personal experience, when you train yourself to use that new “sing song” type of voice....it does work, but only for a very limited amount of time. Then what happens is that style of speaki...

Confidence is key but if you struggle with that, you should try messaging them and talking some that way before actually hanging out. That’s worked for me before. If they get to know you a bit and act...

I’m a stuttering firefighter/EMT, so I get ya. It can be difficult, and patients start to look at me like I’m odd, or finish my word for me. Typically I don’t have time to explain myself, so I just th...

Yeaa i get that alot too. If i cant say my name i usually just spell it out...thats one of the advantages to hav a name which is hard to pronounce for other people....
