Just found this Sub and thought I'd share my story. I'm a 20 year old male and I would consider myself to have a mild stutter. My stuttering is mild enough to where I've had a Job interview and the person interviewing me didn't even figure out that i stuttered until many months later. My Stuttering was at its absolute worst when I was in Elementary and Middle School. I remember sitting in classes where we would be going around the room taking turns reading and just dieing inside knowing that i would have to speak and stutter very badly in front of 20+ kids my age( it was truly awful). Once I got to High School I still had problems speaking but I consider this the turning point from where i went to having a moderate(not quite severe problem) to more mild and controllable. After reading some of the more recent posts on here before submitting this I've realized I have a "covert" stutter in that many people who have only spoken to me a handful of times have no idea of my problem. Some days are great for me and I won't even have a problem. I also have bad days where I will substitute words that I anticipate I'm going to have a hard time with, and I will have pauses in the middle of sentences as I force the word out that is giving me a hard time. I only do the stereotypical stuttering (like Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) slightly more then your average person. Ive sort of come to terms that I'm going to have this problem my whole life and have accepted it. It sucks and it be nice to not have it anymore, but I no longer sit and wish that it would just go away(every year on my birthday I would always wish that it would go away when I blow out the candles-I no longer do this). I was just kind of rambling on here just because it feels nice to share my experiences with this( I've never shared my problems with stuttering with anybody before). Any suggestions or just comments are welcomed.
