To make things worse, I see a therapist and today I have an appointment and this is just going to be the biggest waste of time, I am totally on edge. Most times I am able to communicate fine, a few st...

The fact that you're worried about your friend and that you want to be there for her says so much good about you. I hope you do manage to call her. I know it's tough, but if you can, try not to focus ...

Yeah I try to view it as "needing a reset", I have a lot of anxiety at the moment so I guess just accepting that it's going to hang around until that goes. Yes I view it as a curse too. I've been suc...

I'm able to keep going, I guess it's like stalling a car. I just address my breathing and restart. Like I've said I get by most of the time without it even troubling me. I definitely notice it more wh...

Each to his own I guess, but I don't take too kindly to anyone that gets clever with me about by stutter. I'm sure you mean well but I don't agree - they know exactly what they're doing, Good manne...

I communicate when I have to in work and I never feel like I've "won" afterwards, all I'm thinking about is the look I just got from the person I was trying to talk to when they realise I stutter. And...

You're assuming that I don't communicate with anyone. I do. I really struggle with it hence the reason I'm on this fucking sub. And you're whole "get over it" attitude doesn't exactly help. And don't ...

As I was losing my stutter, I started having a different kind of anxiety. It was an identity crisis. I was used to anticipating my stutter, and I was 99% certain when I would start to stutter and empl...

I know a few people who have speech impediments including stuttering. Usually the younger you are the more embarrassed you are for them, then it turns to a more sympathetic/empathetic stance as you ge...

Thanks for the insight. I believe practicing mindfulness is very important to many of the aspects of stuttering including anxiety! ...

This was the exact reason I started attending NSA meetings. Being uncomfortable around other stutterers made me realize I was not comfortable with my own stutter. Acceptance is the primary key to flue...

I would never want a stutterer friend in real life. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I just can’t bear seeing another human being stutter. I don’t personally know any other stutterer, but I remember...

Patronizing teachers

Patronizing teachers I’m in high school and despite my moderate to severe stutter, I think of myself as a pretty confident guy. Sometimes during class discussions, where we are graded on what we say, ...

Yeah that line is really weird. I have to do that too. I guess you have to think of your stutter as a part of your personality, but something that you own. Not something that controls your life. I d...
