How do you do it?

How do you do it? I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember and my speech and feeling towards it is hitting rock bottom. I do not enjoy life anymore. I often wake up thinking "great, another ...

The biggest time i did it was in highschool ROTC. I signed up for officer training for a few weeks over summer but when the day came my mom woke me up to take me and i *begged* her not to make me go....

Ever passed on an event / opportunity because you were nervous about stuttering?

Ever passed on an event / opportunity because you were nervous about stuttering? I've had a stutter my whole life, and it's never made that much of an impact until I realised I was saying no to opport...

Does this make any sense?

Does this make any sense? So I'm just typing this as a way to get it off my chest somehow. I stutter since I was 12, I'm 20 now and it just seems to be getting worse. I think the reason I stutter ...

How do you feel about talking?

How do you feel about talking? I stuttered when I was a child and it really hurt my confidence/self-steem. I wouldn't speak up much in school or actively talk to people. I pretty much only spoke when ...

I find that it can change a lot over time which words/letters I have problems with. But your problem seems to be something else, fundamentally: >I'm going into the military in 9 months and want t...

So much anxiety interferes...

So much anxiety interferes... I watched the Spongebob Campfire Song Song episode a long time ago when I was a kid and I tried to sing along to it. I couldn't keep up, as it was going so fast. I fumble...

I'd say most of us have a harder time with people we dont know or speaking to people of authority. For a lot of pws (persons who stutter), we worry about making a good impression or are afraid of list...

This might be the worst part, and how do I get past it?

This might be the worst part, and how do I get past it? Been stuttering all my life. With alot of people I´m basicly 100% fluent, in other situations and with some people I stutter like crazy. The wor...

Thought I would share a friends job interview..

Thought I would share a friends job interview.. A friend of my told me about a job interview he went on. This person is very very self confident, calm and good at his job. I wont go into the details, ...

Depending on who I am with I talk little-to medium high (talk more with close friends than acquaintances), so if I am going somewhere with people I try to have 1-2 more talkative than normal people ar...

I like your way of thinking. I am rather open when it comes to activity, and I like to do most things, more or less. Right now I just want to have genuine, honest and sincere conversations with people...

I can relate...I honestly don't have that many friends now, but that's sort of my choice because I'd rather study / learn than waste time with most people. What does "being out there enjoying life" m...

That is good questions and they require some thinking. I mean, I don't really know on a professional level, but right now I would love to make some new friends. And the only thing that is stopping me...

Cycling! I've been a massive fan of the sport and raced through my teens at the Colorado springs velodrome! Taking long rides by myself let's me enjoy time to myself, a rare time when I'm not constan...

I am a 21 year old male who has stuttered for as long as I can remember. My stutter is generally moderate, but swings occasionally to both ends of the spectrum. I've had a lot of time to think about m...

Wow, I feel almost the exact same. I've always wondered if my impediment could be overcome or if I have to work with it, which basically means stuttering all of the time and being okay with that. Just...

You will get over this dude, it might seem like a big deal right now (spoiler alert: I've been there) but in time you will begin to understand it doesn't mean a lot at all. Everything that does matter...

That's a familiar story. High school was a total nightmare for me. I was mute in class as well. I also didn't do any of the classwork, so I had some teachers assume I was mentally challenged and they ...

I've been a stutter since I can remember and I am currently a 16 year old junior in highschool, it is really getting to me.

I've been a stutter since I can remember and I am currently a 16 year old junior in highschool, it is really getting to me. It's not fair. It's just not fucking fair. Why am i not allowed to speak lik...
