A type of social anxiety/protecting myself

A type of social anxiety/protecting myself While I am in social situations I always make a stern face and act like i don’t care, actually I do care. It's like I don't want people to interact with me....

Have moderate stutter, mainly blocks and prolongation. If I don't bring up my stutter, people tend to avoid me. That really hurts cause I felt like I did something bad/wrong. Been working on stopping...

Stuttering is physically and mentally exhausting. I spent 2 years communicating by writing on "Post It" notes because of my stutter. I also spent another 2 years only speaking in a whisper (because...

Don’t worry, brother. All that matters is you fucking did that. I remember I had to present for my final, and no one knew I stuttered because I managed to mask it so well in the smaller group discussi...

No devices helped me. Only turning on headphones with white noise. Then I can read without stuttering. But only read. I still can't hold a conversation. On a forum, I read a review from someone who g...

Tapping in as a covert stutter - my wife and family obviously know and can tell but most strangers would probably assume I'm as fluent as any other person. I have a managerial role and have to speak ...

I agree to some extent, but have grown tiresome of dredging up the past and coming across as self-absorbed. I put it out there merely as a warning that I may speak differently if we are about to begin...

I’m not saying avoiding it is good, but forcing yourself to speak more when you clearly struggle isn’t helpful either....

Firstly ['covert stuttering' ](https://stamma.org/about-stammering/stammering-facts/covert-stammering)i.e. passing as fluent is a thing. I had a severe stutter, but over a long time and a lot of speec...

I can’t stand people who claim they have a stutter when they don’t I’ve had a stutter and ADHD my whole life. It’s been so severe that I’ve attempted to take my own life twice, and after the second ti...

I suppose it's a good experience in a sense that it demonstrates how others see and react to us when we struggle. No sane person is judging or hating us for our stutter. It's just an inconvenience and...

First lesson I learnt when trying to overcome mental health issues stemming from my stutter was to stop putting lot of weight on other people’s judgments, and opinions. I learnt to stop letting extern...

I work at a library! I'll complete 2 years next week and just my luck that I started at the busiest library in my area (800 people a day with two schools right next to us) I won't lie and say I didn...
