Stressing about going to the DMV

Stressing about going to the DMV So I renewed my drivers license online, but then I never received the photo card in the mail to take to the dmv. I emailed them about it and they said I must of gotten...

We get it. We’ve all gone through this and still do to some extent. As we get older we tend to manage it better through strategies and self acceptance etc… but for most of us it never really goes awa...

Is life significantly harder as an adult who stutters?

Is life significantly harder as an adult who stutters? I recently turned 18, and I graduated high school in May. I didn't go straight to college (poor), so I decided to take up a trade to help pay for...

Stutter so bad a lady at a warehouse hung up on me because "my service is really bad and I keep breaking up"

Stutter so bad a lady at a warehouse hung up on me because "my service is really bad and I keep breaking up" I'm sitting in my house 😭 I don't know how I'll get gf bro...

Let me ask you this, would you rather *deal* with her insecurities and stutter or live a life without her? Choose wisely......

Just a quick tip about phone calls: Pre recording the first messages (Hi i am X, i want to) helps TREMENDOUSLY to kickstart a phone conversation....

This is a lot. It sounds like she has been enabled by letting people do the hard work for her (making phone calls, setting appointments, etc). She is never going to change if this continues. “Growth h...

Okay, I have a few comments to make about this. First, I understand your frustration, and I'll give you some grace regarding your wording here. However, I have to point out that you don't come acros...

It doesnt hit alot but when it does damn.

It doesnt hit alot but when it does damn. I can normally keep a good outlook on it but i met someone and they are really special, the mental damage this stutter has caused throughout the years shying ...

On the rare occasion I manage to string along a sentance or two, I speak so fast, but in my head I can understand totally what I'm saying, but others can't, and when they ask me to repeat it, we'll o...

Whatever works, works. We don’t really get to choose how we adapt but we gotta get through everyday and that’s enough, the thought of the constant mental battle and every social interaction feels like...

Actually, yes, I'm a very extroverted person who loves being around people all the time and large friend groups. However, my stutter led me to develop almost social anxiety, where it is very energy-co...

I appreciate the advice. I have tried to DM online in the past, but it's just not the same. One of my more difficult stuttering triggers is not being able to see who I'm talking to. It turns my blocks...

Ya it is a disability anyone who says otherwise is doing harm. But you can not engage with a block. I refuse to try and struggle to push thru. Or at least i try not too. Silence is an option, not alwa...

Exactly right! Even though we will never get rid of it, if we improve it significantly we can have a happier, highly functional life....

For sure, I can understand that for me it’s more of a blocking than a stutter for me. To each his own though. It sucks for us all. I tend to keep to myself because of it. I just got a job doing custom...

I have a heavy stutter and I worked cashier in the past. 95% of the time its easy scripted stuff like greetings or simple explanations. 5% of the time all hell breaks loose due to legit crazy people w...

Girls at bars are generally shallow and witchy unless they are with someone. Don’t get too bummed, they aren’t worth your time. Also but like outside the bar I know it still happens. The best thing I ...

I don’t see how using a kiosk to order means you’re isolating yourself? It’s an accommodation that makes a task easier. It can help you be more active in the community because it’s one less thing to s...

i’m at the point where this shit just isn’t funny anymore. there’s nothing to laugh about. i’ve tried to think positively about my stutter but the truth is, there’s nothing positive about it. it’s a c...
