Thank you for your answer. Honestly i had no idea that stuttering was such a hard thing to cope with. I'm also not from the US but from northern Europe. Bums me out that i cant help my cousin myself a...

Ha! As though my mom would ever let me do that! I think it would be nice sometimes but I know I have to face my fears eventually. ...

I find that when I try and stall, my thoughts start to spiral and nothing comes out at all! The way I look at it is this: "If they have a problem with it, it's their problem, not mine." Hope that he...

My mother tongue is Hindi. I am from India so I guess my english is not that bad :) And I feel I should apologize for generalizing things a bit in my earlier comment. The most enigmatic thing about s...

If English isn't your mother tongue, what is?! holy hell haha I was definitely REALLY emo about my stutter for a long time - I was bullied pretty bad on and off until 8th grade, and teachers would so...

Thank you for that reply, i only asked Reddit to see what other stutterers opinions are on the matter. I wanted to know if its even possible to get a permit for having a stutter. With presentations in...

I understand the point you're trying to make. We like to get high because we lose our inhibitions. It is our inhibitions from years of stuttering and our anxiety about stuttering that sometimes makes...

Did not say it was a self esteem issue i think my self esteem is really high! I do care what internet strangers have to say. I've never actually talked to people with the same issues as myself until i...

In the long-run, this is not wise. Work on your self-esteem without needing to depend on external support, man. I feel that you're taking the easy way out. Please don't be short-sighted. But you're an...

I know how you feel, it makes me feel that they think i'm a fake, And I know i'm not. But i find it very hard to keep up the tips I have learnt. :S it's hard...

There might be, depending on your course requirements, it varies from course to course. One word of advice, please stop this. Please don't make decisions about your life with your fears about stammer...

been there dude, being asked if i was mentally retarded by a check out clerk at the mall (older lady) was probably one of the hardest hitting insults in my life. you say you have a daughter? If tha...

I thought you were my husband until you mentioned a daughter, as he is also 31 this year, and his biggest problem is blocking. For what it's worth, I have never heard of a single person who had the im...

I am in a similar boat as you. I'm 21, and a senior in college. Sometimes my stutter can be controlled, but other times it gets the best of me. When one of my professors asked me a question in class t...

Addressing your last paragraph, especially when you say "I'm wasting their time." That's entirely not true. There are those VERY few people that don't understand what stuttering means and think it's s...

Rant: I'm 24 and I don't know what to do

Rant: I'm 24 and I don't know what to do I've been stuttering since I was in first grade. Following an embarrassing and pathetic "Talent Show" We were forced to take part in, I had the joy of being pa...

Actually it's fucking terrible that part of my job is calling clients. Theoretically, practice makes perfect. Problem is I've been calling with this problem for the past month and it never got better....

Yeah, I'm fine if I take a few seconds to refocus and say it. Going back to the Panera example, however, there's usually a line and the cashier is obviously pushing for everything to go quickly. It's ...
