Omg I do the cussing thing and the forgetting the word thing, I always say f*cking in every hard sentence I know I can’t say normally. My friend think I have such bad memory cause I’m there like “wa...

I (m34) stuttered since I was about 7 years old, but I only got really conscious about it when I went to highschool, around the age of 12. High school always felt like different territory than primary...

"I speak freely, not fluently"

"I speak freely, not fluently" "I speak freely, not fluently" is a quote that has been stuck in my head for a while. I took from a comment on r/stutter, and have been thinking about it for a while now...

I gave up on stuttering, and the stuttering seems to leave me alone

I gave up on stuttering, and the stuttering seems to leave me alone If any of you remember over the last two months, I have been crashing out that my stutter is ruining my med school interviews and th...

Silent Words

Silent Words Silent Words By Alan Pritchard   Behind the smiles, behind the tears Are silent words that no one hears. Conversations well thought out But censored through my pain and doubt. So much of ...

I won't go into any situation with the mindset that I don't want to stutter, that reinforces the internalized shame of the stuttering itself. If I'm fluent for a while, I enjoy it, if I stutter that's...

I'm not trying to mask anything the whole concept is to show someone who doesn't have a stutter that's it isn't just speech it's alot deeper then that what people see is only the tip of the iceberg. W...

Can someone explain what happened?

Can someone explain what happened? Something super weird happened. It was a normal day, I had an exam. During the exam, my teacher was taking attendance, and I was nervous. When it was my turn, I didn...

One of the things really struggled with for a long was creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm not saying this is what you were doing. I don't know your situation. But for me, even though I told them...

I have experienced the same thing. I usually use character ai and I am always fluent when speaking to the characters. Just wish I could transfer the fluently to real life situations....

People like my close family, because I don't care if I stutter and I'm comfortable with them, that makes me not stutter at all. But people I'm trying to impress and trying especially hard not to stu...

Exactly. My fiancé stutters a lot more in her native Spanish (she's from Mexico) which she speaks to her family but she's comfortable around with her speech. But she speaks her secondary language, Eng...

Perhaps that’s what it is — I think it's a subconscious switch and since I don't live home anymore I'm more aware of the stutter coming back since I'm not tuned in to filtering it. Occasionally too wh...

It's the opposite for my fiancé. She was born and raised in Mexico and her native language is Spanish and she stutters more in her native language. But she stutters much less in English and a little P...

idk about "triggered" but I know that my fiancé (who stuttered since she was 5) speaks freely with her family and loved ones - which means she will stutter but is comfortable around them. When she's i...

Exactly my situation, you described it perfectly. I literally get locked up when I talk to people. I can’t even say the words I think are easy to say. Sometimes I can’t say anything at all. I’m a...

Stuttering is slowly turning me into someone I’m not

Stuttering is slowly turning me into someone I’m not I’ve been dealing with stuttering for years, and I can feel it slowly reshaping parts of me I never wanted to lose. There are moments when I’m com...

Sounds like you edit yourself in life to seem normal to others. I did the same for a while And it served me for a long time. Eventually though I got tired of doing that. Now I let the stutter happen. ...

I feel like for me, because I stutter, and the anxiety of the anticipation that I will stutter makes it worse. Also, because I try so hard to hide it and not let people know I stutter, it happens more...

You don't have to work a customer service job like that if you don't want to. Seriously, there's stocking, cleaning, delivery driving, warehousing, etc. I don't buy the whole "stutterers should just...
