Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I don't necessarily have a stutter, as in I don't need speech therapy.

But ~~sometimes~~ often my mouth is working too fast for my brain or vice versa and I end up stuck on a word before being able to move on. I was embarrassed by it for a little while, but I've honestly just stopped caring. People typically don't mind, despite how frustrated I may get.

I can't imagine having a true stutter, though. It's got to be very frustrating.

no, but I have a lisp

Yeah, pretty bad.

I never stutter at all or do uh's or um's, mostly because I used to have a speech therapist and she made me not do either of those while in her lessons and now I don't do them at all!
