There and (on my way) Back Again, my story I'm new to this subreddit, and I have these last few hours read a few of your life stories and it has really touched me. I have never really spoken out about...

I work in a pizzeria and my job requires me to answer phones to take orders. It sucks and it's super embarrassing if my stutter starts to take over and I end up saying "um-um-um-um-um..." every few se...

I have a mild stammer, this is how I deal with it.

I have a mild stammer, this is how I deal with it. I remember stuttering since I was about 9 years old. It got so bad, during our appointment with a speech pathologist I broke down and cried. School...

When you start talking to girls and your heart starts pounding and you arent even sure if you can say your name. Just pause for a second, gather your thoughts and then talk. Ive found that taking slow...

Rant: I am 19 years old, and this is my story First of all hello /r/Stutter i just found this subreddit and read a lot of stories about you all, and i think i should add my story to the list. From vi...

I really have to agree with you, the avoiding something because of it makes it so much worse. I think part of the reason mine has improved with age is that I'm less anxious about all these situations....

Mate, what I have isn't courage. It is simply: The fear of doing what has to be done to overcome stuttering < The fear of my stutter causing me to avoid and miss out on life. ...

Positive: Friends - I have a great set of close friends who I know will be there for me no matter what. They have put up with my severe stutter (sometimes being unable to get out anything for over a ...

i also don't like phones haha but in a negative way it affected me is that in my younger years it made me stop talking, i was always outgoing and friends with everyone, always talking. when i got to ...

I didn't start stuttering until I was 13, just before I started high school. From the first time it happened through the beginning of grade 9, it just got worse but I managed to work around/hide it t...

Stutter only on your name/introducing yourself?

Stutter only on your name/introducing yourself? I recently found this subreddit and haven't seen discussion on this particular issue, so I'm wondering whether it is unique to myself or if anyone else ...

When my stutter is particularly bad, yes, definitely. Writing can also be an effective ice-breaker; the reader knows you're an intelligent individual, and they've already made their first impression. ...

Stutter only when saying your name/introducing yourself?

This is exactly how I feel. It used to be a real problem with people I didn't know and especially with girls. I always feel/felt like an idiot when I couldn't form even simple words and people would f...

Interesting. I can, if the words come to me easily enough, write a couple thousand words without stopping once. Certainly sounds like a writing stutter with the constant changing. ...

I've become exceedingly good at knowing which words I'll stutter on and changing them to something else. Though the best thing to do is not to think about it. ...

Everyone who has both talked to me and read what I've written knows that I'm a much better writer than I am a speaker. I'd consider myself an almost-moderately-ok writer (which is certainly a lot bett...

Anyone else a better writer than speaker?

Anyone else a better writer than speaker? I've stuttered my whole life (it's been getting better as I've gotten older and don't think about it as much as I used to) and, since conversing with people w...

I stutter and I can tell you it has nothing to do with breathing. I had some untalented speech therapists in elementary school who would just tell me to work on slow breathing and to "stop and start o...

I stutter. And this is legit advice. I'm doing it and its working. I've tried so many things.... Went back to square 1. And I think in a couple weeks i will be stutter free. But let's see. Only time c...
