The Devil I Know

The Devil I Know I’ve gained so much perspective from reading the stories of others on this subreddit, I wanted to take a moment to tell my story with the hope it will help others as well. My stutte...

I'm 21 and chose the hardest job for me as a stutter could have (and qualified for). I chose to work at Starbucks. Working on the register, bar, drive through, and just communicating with my coworkers...

I sort of do that too, it’s partly feels like it’s an unconscious response. I hate when you’re stuck on a word and everyone is looking at you. Even if they’re not judging you or anything, I always hav...

Recent clinical psychologist graduate here. It's hard to give specific advice since I don't know you or your stutter. Generally though... It will be harder because of your stutter. My program was big ...

I’m 10 days from 21 and in Uni and have the same problem. Especially when it comes to approaching girls. I have lots of reasons to be confident but my stammer really holds me back ...

It's more psychological than physical. I have a slight overbite and I still stutter. That is just my personal opinion of course....

Hey thanks! I know it's not just the context. I just have more pressure on myself I guess in more official settings. I am pretty nervous about my internship. But I need to start working on believing i...

Starting my masters of clinical social work. Anybody in this field now?

Starting my masters of clinical social work. Anybody in this field now? I am starting my clinical social work masters right now and there is a looooot of communication and group work that requires me ...

Teen years are hard. Socializing becomes so complex and more important. All that adds pressure which often leads to more struggle. ...

I had to introduce myself to nearly 20 complete strangers at my college orientation in 2015 and had one of the worst blocks of my life. Embarrassed, frustrated, upset - I just wanted to skip college. ...

OP, are you having the same issues (slur + stuttering) when talking aloud even when you are home alone? Or is the issue only when communicating with others?...

I have gone through the exact same thing. Email your professors before hand and let them know that you aren’t comfortable doing this. Maybe go in a little early and talk to them, so they can see that ...

I start college in two days

I start college in two days I am nervous that on the first day of class there is going to be an icebreaker where they make us go around the room and introduce ourselves. That happened a lot in school....

I've just graduated from a federal agency's academy. I'm still terrible on the radio sometimes but a few of my instructors know good agents with stutters. Most of my commands are pretty decent though....

I agree. Sometimes I say, "I wish it was less complicated." And they might say it's as uncomplicated as you make it. As if positive thinking was the cure. On the one hand, that is a ridiculous thing t...

You are 21 and many feel unsure at that age. You are not alone. You seem to already have social skills. Continue to network and exercise your social skills. And read those social books too, to find w...

My experience has been that, if I'm angry or furious, my speech becomes much *much* worse. Mostly because I want to say so many things, usually too fast, and in a kind of explosive manner. There's too...

I'm totally with you on this being frustrating. I think it comes back to a misunderstanding of what stuttering (the disorder we have) is. Sure, people are disfluent sometimes. I trip over my words but...
