It’s unfortunate that we have to feel like this. When I was young, it was excruciatingly painful to go to school everyday. Now that I’m an adult, I said fuck that. I’ve been working on a warehouse f...

Subway is the worst place to go if you stutter 😂💀 I couldn’t even ask what bread I wanted...

I know exactly what you mean! And I'm sure most people here do as well. It isn't about embarrassment for me most of the time either. The fact is lack of fluency (especially on bad days) can kill any s...

I can’t replace words because I stutter nearly always, or more accurately, I block. Most people try to finish my thoughts, get it wrong, and keep guessing till they get it and I nod. As I’ve gotten ol...

Yup, I've definitely been there. Talking to some people is exhausting sometimes. I'd rather just keep my mouth shut at times, and that's okay, you're allowed to do that. You don't have to engage in co...

I use my phone’s notes app for times like this… it sucks when it reaches that point, but people are mostly ok with it...

I wish it would be normal to have alternatives to speaking. Its a bit of an overrated way to communicate imo. I’ve used notes on my phone before to speed up interactions but only a few times. I woul...

I used to have my name noted down on my phone whenever I cannot say it. (I still use it) but yeah I feel you. I wanna be able to say what's on my mind not having to write it 😭...

I wish we didn’t get hung up on, but unfortunately it comes with the territory. I’ve been hung up on several times, hopefully always because they think the call dropped. And sadly, I’m of the belief...

I usually carry a notepad in my pocket just for times like that. It makes me feel guilty, but it's also a relief. Sometimes I just need to be able to communicate and not take all day....

Even I was so scared when I joined my university because I was stuttering a lot ever since my visa interview. It got so bad that I wasn't even able to get my point across compared to just stuttering a...

I'm a teenager, too, and I've been stuttering my whole life. Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions except speech therapy, which I keep plugging away at hoping it will pay off eventually. My stutt...

Yeah but come on, severe stutter vs. dietary restrictions or dyslexia? Let’s be real here you know fully well which one is worse and by how much. If that’s your husband’s mindset and it helps hi, be h...

One of the life lessons that I've learned is that you need to take care of yourself because other people are not reliable. That's to say, I've had a hard time with my stutter/dysfluency and at times I...

Your action will prove that your capable to do the job or anything In life, but If you trying to work for a job that do a lot of customer service and a lot of communicating then It might a little hard...

Yeah, I can't imagine if there were only oral languages how socially disable we would be... For those severe PWS they would be really infinitely close to mute.......

I’ve had ups and downs, particularly in high school and my early 20s, but I never stopped going after what I wanted. Had embarrassing moments, days I came home and buried my face in my pillow, etc. I...

I mean if the stutter comes from anxiety you could take a day off....

Understanding a stutter and being respectful of another human are two separate things. Fluency would be nice but if OP can’t get there (as none of us will since stuttering is permanent), they need not...

sending a ton of love and support - you are not useless. I know how you feel, I was you. Plenty of big money making jobs with no need for speaking. Our most memorable moments, sometimes, are in peace,...
