I feel bad for people that have to witness me stutter

I feel bad for people that have to witness me stutter I wish they didn't have to suddenly be like "oh shit this guy has a speech impediment!? Let me pretend like everything is normal so he doesn't fee...

I feel this in a big way; for context I try my best to advocate and teach and have done a LOT of work on my stutter. I even taught classes at a university for a while and it was both helpful and fun. ...

Thanks for your insight. It's such a nuanced topic that I can ramble on about. All I can say it I wish when I was a child, someone told me it's ok to stutter. I never connected the dots, or it coul...

Well, I guess l've always had a good (albeit, of course, complex) attitude about it. It's always been and always will be difficult, but I think about how the difficulties other people face (mental imp...

I guess I’ve always had a good attitude about it. It’s always been and always will be difficult, but I think about how the difficulties other people face (mental impairments, physical limitations like...

I wouldn’t say this sounds gay. Sounds like a typical north European voice to me. But we haven’t heard your hyped voice....

If dudes ask you that I wouldn’t worry about it. If girls say that then yo might wanna have a conversation with them...

I feel this. I have somehow developed a voice that people have told me sounds like Tom Delonge's singing voice (Tom from blink-182). I have heard many times that it makes me sound/seem gay. I don't mi...

Agree with this. I like OP’s voice. To OP: most people don’t like the sound of their own voice. Mine makes me cringe, haha ...

You don't have a strange voice, you have a normal voice. Like you, I have a slightly sweet, non-rude voice, and I've been made comments and teased about it in the past. Many men mask their insecuritie...

My personal opinion is that only makes my stuttering worse. Sure, I’ve ordered using apps, but if I don’t push myself, if I don’t confront my stuttering head on occasionally, when I do have to talk t...

You don't have to approach. That's the difference. If you never had a stutter and saw a man fumble words when approaching you, you would find it creepy or become uncomfortable immediately, unless you ...

Hiya You hate your old job so you have to move on. If you don't you'll be miserable and then kicking yourself thinking you could be somewhere else right now. You're afraid of failing on the speakin...

I’ve found the less I care about whether I stutter or not the less I stutter. I lot of what contributes to stuttering is the fear and anxiety of speaking situations. It’s like a cruel trick we play on...

I use a lot of hand gestures when I speak and I prefer video calls over voice-only calls, probably because it allows me to use hand gestures. But I haven't really thought about it, it's just something...

Interesting! I'm kinda the opposite. I stutter more when I'm stressed and tired so I go to covert, but I try to be open most of the time now. ...

It's soo hard when you're tired I call it my crunchy voice if I know it's gonna be a bad stutter day. I really like your approach! That's how I'm trying to think, not care what others see or think of ...

This is very similar to me! The majority of my life when I tell people I stutter they say it's not bad at all and they can't tell but little do they know it's all cause of covert and I stutter alot lo...

I really don't care when someone treats me badly because of stuttering or laughs when I stumble through sentence. These things have 0 impact on me. Biggest pain with stuttering is inability to expres...

Covert now, used to be open by lack of choice in the matter. Now covert because that'd the way I've learnt to cope with it, times of stress and stuttering openly comes right back. ...
