thoughts on becoming "mute" For a while now, I have been using a notepad as an aid for when I get really stuck. My stutter has now become so bad that I really cannot say anything. Literally anything I try to say, I get stuck on. I have had one sentence take up to 10 minutes when I dont have my notepad with me. I am seriously thinking about not talking at all anymore. Some of you may have seen my recent post that I was denied a job because I just wrote everything down.(I think the interviewer was just a dick though) I believe that this is something that I really want to do. I tried it when I went to the dentist the other day, it was extremely awkward at first. But I had prewritten a page that just said "I stutter, so I have to write everything down". One time I couldnt find the page though, so I just looked like an idiot fumbling through pages while the person talking to me was waiting for a response. They almost started laughing at me, but when I found it and showed them they quickly stopped. Has anyone ever tried this before, and did you have any interesting results. Would something like this be socially acceptable. I actually got the idea the for the first time when I saw a deaf employee at some store having people write stuff down and he would write back to them. I just dont think people will understand why I can hear them, but cant talk back...that is if i dont tell everyone that i "talk" to I stutter
