I know how you feel too - and I feel deprived, like WAH I DEAL WITH SO MUCH SHIT ON A DAILY BASIS JUST TO BE FUNCTIONAL AND YOU JUST SAID IT WAS NOT A BIG DEAL?! But honestly you never know what peop...

This has been my experience as well. When someone makes fun of you, your first instinct is to get defensive. However, almost every time I've explained the situation the person was taken back, extremel...

one person did this when i was trying to say my birthday and i replied "No, i didn't forget, i just have a bad speech issue and stammer to cope and now you feel like an asshole."...

If I had a dollar for every time someone said that, it still wouldn't make me ok with people saying it....

Oh believe me i have a smile on my face, and sometimes its enough. Im looking for something that helps other than that, some people get REALLY "ohshitohmygodfuckfuckfuck" if they go something like "lo...

My biggest issue is when people think I'm being silly and imitate my stuttering. This infuriates me beyond no end!...

Good point. I agree a lot of the times I do feel more annoyed than anything else. I'm admire you don't feel those things and didn't mean to imply stutters have low self-esteem. I block and repeat, but...

The feelings people get while they block is pretty different. My stuttering is a little worse than this, and when i block im more like "omg this is so annoying" than actually getting all of the things...

I learn something from a classmate that stuttered. He beat his chest twice and took a deep breath. I though it looked stupid so i made kind my own version of it: I stop the word, mumle loudly "god dam...

so much social stigma! over such a random thing... i was literally in a group of people the other day, a few of whom I didn't know. And one of the girls was talking about her mom who's a speech-therap...

Last weekend I went to see a movie, and when I got to the ticket booth I could not for the life of me say the name of the movie I wanted to see. After a good 30 seconds I finally was able to get past ...

Repetition and Prolongations. I've been stuttering since I could talk, I'm 16 now and it's getting better with age. Mostly it's when suddenly someone asks me something and I'm on the spot, or if I'm e...

I also block. I go through phases where I'm able to get out of blocks quite easily, but then there's times where a hard block can last a few seconds. Depends on my mood and stress level I suppose. ...

A few weeks ago I had to buy a train ticket. I was unable to say the destination. Usually I take control and say it anyways, thanks to my wonderful speech therapist of course, but in this I was unable...
