I can acknowledge that I probably communicate a sense of frustration at times when I'm struggling to get my words out. So yes, when family or whomever else will avoid starting a conversation, although...

It may just be that you don't stutter due to being in your own comfort space at home. ...

My foray into stimulants and how it affected my stutter... Just to share some of my experience... I've [touched upon this about a year ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1ye6sh/impact_posi...

it was hard to watch the movie the kings speech because it reminded me too much of myseldf and that was 4 years ago......

Dude, you don't have to be ashamed of yourself for crying. This shit gets emotional, not being able to express yourself through words is one thing most people have no idea about. No idea how it feels ...

That would make sense, and I'm sorry to hear that. With mine, I can remember watching 'A Fish Called Wanda' and thinking how cool a stammer is after hearing it for the first time, and voila, for some...

This is me too. I always stuttered the most around my parents and my college roommates. ...

I'm the opposite of this in a way. I barely stutter around my gf but with anybody else I can barely say a word without stuttering. ...

Oh god yes! Singing to myself in my room is how I make peace with the world after a particularly hard day in school with respect to fluency. ...

Perfectionism seems to be an universal trait amongst stutterers. It actually works agains us. We are trying to achieve perfect fluency while not even people that are fluent are fluent 100% of the time...

Very good. I like the part about him speaking about not being assertive and being a perfectionist. I'm like that too. On the outside I feel confident but deep down I know I am definitely not. I don...

I'm probably one of those rare stutters who does it even when I'm alone, talking to myself. I've also tried it on talking with pets (still stutter), and I always try to remember whether or not I stutt...

Yeah, I know a lot of stutterers are like that. I actually do stutter when talking to myself, or my pets, or even in my dreams. ...

Do you stutter when you're alone, talking to pets, singing etc..?...
