Being covert about stuttering is actually *the thing* that makes many unable to even speak their own name. If you struggle with this, all you have to do is try not hiding it and see what happens....

I was a supervisor for a surveillance crew of 5 for about 4 years. Before that I was a team leader of 2-3 guys in the Army. It’s not as bad as we make it out in our head. Respect them and they’ll (us...

I think I’ve been stuttering since I could speak. I wish I had some form of speech therapy growing up. Though stuttering through school had been hell, it made me stronger. I wish I owned my stutter so...

I actually disagree, throwing yourself head-first into a frat would give you so many speaking opportunities and sort of force you to become more confident and engaged in social settings. When i went t...

I use to for the majority of my life and I was so miserable. I just turned 30 and I don’t want to continue living my life being afraid and holding myself back. I no longer hide it and am much happier ...

The guy that hurt you, probably saw it the same way but not on the same level. Im assuming he didnt cut contact because he WANTED to hurt you, but prolly cause his girl found out, and that was the sol...

I don't really know either lol, if I had to guess, probably because it affects the mental more, which could in turn make it generally worse? I don't think being covert about stuttering directly affect...

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that almost all stutterers either avoid words/letters, avoid situations or have so fundamentally altered their life that they don’t even know that they are/n...

Lmfao I do that too, the acting like I forgot the word thing. Sometimes I’ll just say I can’t say word. Then I might try and spell it out. A desperate cry for help for people watching to help a brothe...
