damn dude it sounds like you're having some self-confidence issues/depression. do you see a slp? if not then you should. if yes, maybe a psychiatrist/psychologist could help more? dont let the stutter...

You make a good point. The post just came off as negative to me. I mean the reason why a lot of us come here is to increase our hope that one day we will release ourselves from this horrible mental ba...

Through my younger years I dealt with my stuttering rather well in my opinion. I had my issues like every other young person going through school like occasional teasing and being self conscience abou...

My story or take on stuttering

My story or take on stuttering I have been stuttering all my life and only very recently I have discovered this sub-reddit and I think that it would be appropriate to post my shorter story. I was bo...

Be careful dude. This can lead to a dark, dark place. Have you considered speech therapy? When I'm not in therapy (or even just lapse in my work) my fluency goes waaaaaaay down and leaves me incredibl...

Thanks for all the input so far! It's good to know there are others that can relate to my struggle. It gives me hope that I can improve my current situation. I know persistance and one day at a time a...

My friend, you are not. I've felt like that myself, as my stutter is quite severe. There is always something worse off, if not physically, emotionally. No need for the anger at the OP....

How do you do it? I've tried to think positively, keep my mind off stuttering but every time I have a horrible stuttering episode my mood plummets into a pool of negativity. When my speech is decent I...

There is no cure. The only thing you can do is live with it. When I was younger I was depressed but not as depressed as I am now because I thought that it was only temporary. When I realized that I wa...

Non-existent as well. I'm 19 and I have never had a girlfriend. My stutter and height (thanks genetics!) have completely destroyed my self-esteem and my ability to socialize. I also suffer from depres...

Listening to myself

Listening to myself I've been a stutterer for my whole life. At 33, I thought I had more or less come to terms with it. I had to pull the phone recording of a 25 minute conversation I had with a cus...

Does anyone else get emotional hearing others stutter?

Does anyone else get emotional hearing others stutter? I just feel so terrible because I know how it feels to stutter and I know how awful that moment is as it's happening and I just want to make it s...

Thank you, it really means a lot to have someone who actually understands. I'm quite an emotional person and when I found this subreddit and read some of the stories I started crying. I felt so alone ...

Seems like my story has a lot of similarities to many of yours. I've stuttered since I started speaking and was in speech therapy for 12 years (Grades 1-12). In the 12th grade, my (very low income) ...

I really appreciate this well articulated and well thought out reply. This is a lot to absorb. It's very interesting that your dad believes that he "grew out of his stutter" even though by your stand...

Thank you so much for that response. This was my first post on this subreddit, (and come to think of it, on reddit as whole) and it means a lot that you replied and gave such great advice. Thank you, ...

Well, not exactly childhood trauma and not exactly just one particular event. But I have stuttered since I was 7 years old. It was very overhelming year to me - my parents divorced, my grandfather die...

Accepting stuttering isn't going to be easy at all for me. It's like having someone shove literal shit down your throat daily. Just the thought of enduring stuttering for the rest of my days makes me ...

How did you do it? I have turned into a very bitter angry person and I don't like feeling this way all the time....

My mother tongue is Hindi. I am from India so I guess my english is not that bad :) And I feel I should apologize for generalizing things a bit in my earlier comment. The most enigmatic thing about s...
