This is EXACTLY how I am, my biggest fear is definitely reading out loud because people will think my stutter is a fluke, so they might laugh or something. Then when I go out somewhere in public and m...

I tend to have a really tough time with 'H' sounds, which is a pain in the ass because my name begins with an 'H'. This means that every time I have to introduce myself, it takes me a second or so to ...

My stutter is weird. Some times I stutter, some times I make really long and prolonged sounds whilst trying to get the word out (it sounds horrible!). But usual words I dread to say often start with B...

Whenever I have to introduce myself to someone, I am generally mortified with the entire situation. Saying my name always, without fail, brings out the worst stutter in me. There were a couple times I...

thank you so much for your input. Regimented information, do you mean something with a common script? What type of phone call is most stressful for you?...

Yeah, nothing like being hung up on just as you're about to get the word out. I usually avoid the phone like the plague. However, last week my grandma was in the hospital five hours away from me so I ...

First of all, this isn't offensive at all. I don't even have a follow-up to that because I can't see what part of this could possibly offend anyone. So, to get started, obviously, the more people pay...

Same here. I used to tell nobody that I stutter. But some people know, now. But they said, they never realised until I told them. That made me proud, because I have to restructure almost every sentenc...
