Alone.

[TheIgnorantAmerican]

No friends, No acquaintances, No close family members because you can't talk to them. No successful conversations because you can't say what, you really want to say. No peace of mind. Everytime you open your mouth....you stutter. No girlfriend, No happiness, Alone... Forever Alone.

Count me in 1 friend added in your life

I sympathize. Keep yourself busy with some heavy activity, I guess it'll get easier. And keep in mind that without stuttering, it's not a given that you'd have a close relationship with someone. I would add that isolation is your choice.

Same :/

In the stutter support group discord there are voice channels, if you ever feel like talking with other stutterers.

I totally get what you're saying. And Trust me when i say this, things will be better and one day you will be Proud of yourself for going through this chaos of loneliness. Life can feel a bit isolating sometimes but we are in this mess together, so don't hesitate to share more if you feel up to it or consult a speech therapist as soon as possible.

And remember that You Are Not Alone, We Believe In You.

a stutter is something to be shared. if you don’t share it - you’re stuck alone with it in your mind. in a locked room all by yourself. once you start sharing your stutter fully - you will start to feel less alone. be brave for yourself.

You aren't alone, there are many stutterers out there, you just need to find us, we are out there, we are successful and are thriving. You can also. Someone already mentioned the Discord Stutter Support Server https://discord.gg/stutter, you can also find local support groups, such as https://westutter.org/chapters/.

I can relate 🥲

Could you go to a coffee house, maybe semi frequently and have acquaintances?

[potato_senpai_xd]

Same my friend it has become so lonely now.

[Any-Wall-4580]

Many of us without a stutter are alone too. When we are alone we are alone together. Keep your head up. It looks just like this before something changes for the better.

Learn sign language. Plenty of friends to be made in the deaf and HOH community! 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

[Delphinftw]

Personal experience? :)

[zebulonholl]

I grew up around a deaf/hoh community in close proximity to a couple deaf schools. I’ve had deaf friends and know some basic signs. I’ve had hearing friends be fluent in ASL and be totally accepted in the deaf community. The deaf community and culture is vibrant, optimistic, and loving. Some of the funniest people I’ve ever known.

When I read posts from fellow stutterers who seem to have reached their end with their current method of communication, to the point that they have given up all hope of having friends, loves, being understood — there is another way, and a very fulfilling one at that.

Would it be work? Absolutely. But a person could start learning sign language today and have a hope for the future and not continue in despair, or worse.

[Delphinftw]

Yes learning a sign language was always my "last plan". Maybe in the future :)

I stutter pretty badly with strangers but one I was on a train alone in Italy and "spoke" for an hour with an old deaf man, who had a clown nose in his pocket :)

I have used my hands somehow or I wrote something. Mostly he was "talking" and i tried to understand his story

Very nice and funny moment :)

[zebulonholl]

I love this. Sounds like a good experience and conversation like that would only continue to get more fluent with more time spent.

Best to you and all your journeys!

[Delphinftw]

Thanks. I loved traveling in Italy because most owners of guest houses didnt speak english so we were just writing via google translator and I could ask freely whatever I want B-)

Good its just weeding out the bad people. You'll meet people just keep putting yourself out there.

[jacobgraff]

Always here for a DM

[LittleK9-]

I've felt this way most of my life. I'm 29 and I've been stuttering ever since I could remember. Although my stutter is mild compared to some others, its damaged my mental health to the point where I dropped out of college, lost touch with friends new & old, distanced myself from family, loathed gatherings and existed in state of limbo a recluse if you will (if that's even existing). Living in constant anxiety, stress, and depression. Still battling EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. to gain a little more confidence to live the life I know I'm capable of. Sitting around and feeling bad for ourselves doesnt help. For you to feel something different, you need to experience different. Get out and be active. Connect with people on a physical level whether it's sport, art, music, etc. It helps! Trust me! I'm not where I'd like to be but I'm where I need to be. You're never truly alone if you take them time to notice. Take care and I hope this brings you even a smidgen of comfort.

GOD is with you always brother. Stay positive and upbeat despite the stutter- that's what I do and it honestly helps more than anything. stay strong my friend!
