You're allowed to say "can't speak" and use a pen and paper. And even do miming and pointing. I'm sorry this made you sad. I hope things improve for you....

As a kid my stutter was crippling. I don’t think I spoke my entire 7th and 8th grade career. In high school it relaxed a bit, but I still had my highs and lows with it. Now, at age 40, my stutter is...

I suggest you put the registration into your partners name or one of your sons. I myself have been detained a couple of times due to public intoxication due to misunderstandings to do with my stutter....

1. **Has your stutter changed over the years? Did it get better/worse when you got to adulthood? When did it begin?** 2. In primary school I started mildly. In high school it became severe. In Univers...

Not giving a flip about the opinions of what I call "the folks in the peanut gallery" was my eventual conclusion after so many years of stuttering, isolation, and resulting social and general anxiety....

Yep, you kind of stepped in it with that one. My very shy, sweet daughter stabbed a boy in 6th grade with a pencil for the very same thing. You have to think of it like someone who is overweight or p...

I don't feel less intelligent, but definitely feel like it stops me from being as "good" socially as I otherwise would be if I was fluent....

Thankfully, I wouldn't really say my mild stammer is *getting in the way of things*, but it's one of the many speed bumps in the road of life that makes the drive more rough lol My life would defi...

Thus creates the very very rare situation. After my sore/painful talking the other day, I needed something soothing for my throat and I wanted to challenge myself to use my skills. So I got a drive ...

I have failed miserably over and over again with drive-thrus until one day I told myself "who cares if I stutter". Some of the anxiety and fear seemed to fade away and I just did it. I had some mino...

Popularity is irrelevant. I was too caught up with my stutter to sometimes enjoy time with friends and family. Other times it was fine and firing on all cylinders socially. Ebbed and flowed. My regret...

I've been thinking about this recently actually how my stutter has ruined my social life. Not being able to communicate with others as easily has made it really to be social. I avoid social situations...

Even though I'm still working on my stuttering, my patience is on another level. Sometimes I get compliments on how patient I am with people and they don't understand how I do it....

It's comforting knowing I'm not the only one that's done that. I thought working retail would be a good idea.... I quit immediately...

At least you only went home! I landed a really good networking job, paying a lot more than I had ever made before, and the first day I learned I had to work the help desk, answering phones. I went hom...

Thank you… you’ve no idea how much stuttering has stopped me from doing the things I want...

i'm actually in the same boat as u! i applied for a job at a local theme park where interacting with people is the "highlight" of the job, it does put me in an uncomfortable position but putting mysel...

Well done. Sounds like a confidence booster. Stammering can dictate the terms of our life path in the form of avoidances; sounds, words and more widely life opportunities and ambitions. It takes coura...

I don't have any stuttering problems... or so they think. I almost never stutter around strangers and friends. I do have a tendency to speak too low and too fast due to social anxiety, but I can usual...
