I always feel inferior because of my stutter causing me massive depression. how do I get over this? Fuck this shit. I know it's true so don't tell me it's a feeling of inferiority, it's a fact that I ...

I am in therapy with my University's CS&D clinic (the first one ever established in the US), so it's with graduate students training to be slp. We started with mindfulness and "light contacts." ...

I stutter worse in Spanish too. It might be because I'm not too fluent. It gets worse because my boss who speaks Spanish tells me "I want to hear you" so yeah it gets worse...

I've had issues in the past with stuttering, and I have come to this exact same conclusion. It feels like my internal monologue is active (talking out what I want to say/what not to say/other observat...

Thanks. Yeah at some point I probably will try to find something else since I am planning on moving anyway. I'm just not sure what I can get with my experience that would be comparable. Hopefully I ca...

Eating poorly will definitely do you no good. I just assume from the decreased confidence from binging on junk food will result in a worse stutter. I've felt the same before too. I've binged on junk f...

Yeah, it's a self defeating cycle you've got for yourself. We stutterers do a lot of "mind reading", which is when we try to think what the other person must be thinking about us, our stuttering, how ...

Sorry to comment on /u/shutuppussy's subthread, but just want to say, I think really no one cares if your speech isn't smooth. They're not going to dislike you for it. I think most people won't even n...

I think if you possibly can, you should just jump into it. Attending meetups is a great idea, and group activity clubs work too. Meeting new people is actually a bit intimidating and effortful for m...

Making friends is something I need to learn how to do. Up until recently, I've always been able to make friends through existing friends or a school environment where meeting people is easy. Now, I ne...

My speech isn't too bad in non-social situations. At work, it's good enough that some people don't know I stutter. In the situation of asking a store attendant for help, my speech is not perfectly smo...

A lot of people have trouble making friends. I don't know much about your social anxiety and my experience with such is limited to my stutter, but how much do you speak with people on a daily/weekly b...

Its genetic factors *interacting* with environmental factors. Alot of my exacerbations (for simplicity, defined as when my stuttering is worse) is psychological. But from when Im having good months, I...

What if it's both. That's why I have come to find out. My stuttering can cause my social anxiety but other anxiety issues that have nothing to with my stutter cause me to stutter too. It's just like t...

Looking for advice for the next step to improve myself (social anxiety, stuttering, etc) I'm in my late 20s, have a stutter, have social anxiety, and I'm suffering from lack of friends. I've been succ...

> I only feel bad and wrong when I talk about things like that with them Maybe if you feel more comfortable about talking about it your parents will as well?...

Thanks for the response. I do perfectly well in school. I make high honor roll, take advanced classes, ect. I never have declined to do a presentation. I recently discovered that all schools have to h...

I really think it comes down to your mind not being as occupied with worrying about stuttering. For one, you haven't planned out what exactly you're going to say - as you put it, when you're telling...

They are the type of people who don't talk about it openly. I only feel bad and wrong when I talk about things like that with them. This is why I go on the internet and ask people who aren't my parent...

Maybe it will work. If you think most of your stuttering comes from anxiety and lack of self esteem, than maybe it will work. ...
