Typically I stutter more when I feel like I'm put in the centre of attention, also when I talk to someone that has some kind of power over me. And obviously when i gotta introduce myself and all I can...

Damn... what a dick move from the officer. Tell me that he at least got 2 presents on his name day from that year on :P...

How the teacher reacted to you telling her about your stutter sounds like she didn’t believe you and probably thought you were making it up to try and get out of doing it 🤷...

Whenever I got in trouble at school and got sent to the office, the principal/deans would always assume I’m lying, since I stutter while I’m explaining my side of the story 🙄...

That's a great point. Especially for a generally younger person, almost everyone seems like an authority! Or at least someone deserving of basic politeness in speech....

Generally, people don't stutter at all when speaking to children and only a bit when speaking to friends and family. As you go up the hierachy of unfamiliar and people in authority, stuttering incre...

I think it's the same with me. If I feel like I'm being judged or evaluated, I stutter a whole lot more. Problem being that I tend to attribute some level of authority or respect to most people older ...

I always have more trouble speaking to an authority because I have to pay more attention to my words - when I focus on my words too much, I overthink them and stutter. I put pressure on myself to say ...

I've never thought about this until now but it makes sense. When I talk to someone deemed 'lower' by society such as a cleaner (I don't on purpose, I respect people based on their values) and ask them...

I wish my boss understood this. I hate him so much the only thing he ever talks to me about is the way I speak...

I don't know if I'll post this elsewhere to avoid being insensitive.

I don't know if I'll post this elsewhere to avoid being insensitive. What if I was black? All the times I've been pulled over and cops escalated the situation because of my stutter. Would I be able to...

That's very common and it totally makes sense. Your stutter is highly influenced by the amount of judgement you feel and how much value you give others thoughts of you. A police officer or a boss for ...

I understand that for me I have more a problem while dealing with people of authority. With friends I don’t have a problem as much. I don’t yet understand why sort of thoughts go in my unconscious tha...

I am an Industrial Designer and Project Manager. I am in front of clients often as a lot of my job is to explain the direction of projects, who, what, when, why, etc. as well as leading a team. I sti...

I noticed this about myself too. Usually when I am around certain figureheads or leaders at political conferences, lectures, luncheons, and so on. I automatically feel anxious....
