    Been frequently stuttering for 25 years now. It kills me so much. It makes me afraid to talk and I never opened my mouth unless it is a necessity. It makes me feel less. It makes me feel I'm not normal. It makes me feel different from normal people to the point that I don't even understand myself. The thought is clear in my mind but I'm struggling to express it verbally. I hate being laughed at when stuttering tries to interrupt me from expressing myself. I feel helpless. I feel hopeless. Sometimes, I question myself why am I like this. I have never opened this to anyone (I know that they know that I stutter) and I've been thinking for therapy but it never came to realization.
    But in all of this, Lord I will praise you and worship you for everything. No disorder nor impairment can refrain me not to be grateful everyday of my life. To those who stutter out there, change the way you see yourself. You're God's masterpiece.

      Dude I feel the same thing as you everyone thinks I’m a big introvert but I always want to talk to someone about something but I know I’ll just stutter and it controls me. I don’t understand myself at all. I don’t have any real interests and I just don’t know who I am. But i had to go to court and speak for a while and I prayed and prayed for days for me not to stutter while on the stand and I didn’t stutter a word the whole time I was there. So I know I can get past it. I just got to break through the mental barrier of not caring what someone else will think when they hear me stutter.

    I have a hard time speaking sometimes. People at work don’t understand why I’m always excited to come into work. I know being a cashier isn’t the best job in the world but I love it because I get better at speaking everyday. Slowly I’m starting to speak English more fluently. The challenge is what excites me. I am not ashamed. The real shame would be to never try to improve and never have a social life.

    God bless his courage and boldness..I too have a speech impediment, I dont stutter but i do have issues with articulation...I desire a career in financial services..and well, a business like that requires you to talk and network..its very hard to do that when the one thing you MUST do is the one thing you feel you CANT do..its a daily struggle that I hope one day to overcome

    As someone who has had Dysarthria since I was 5 years old. This video really does resonate with me as most of my life I have been practicing hard to correct my speech. I have made great efforts in my transparency of my words but it still hurts whenever someone comments how I sound like a special needs person.

    I have problems talking to people and that's why I do public speaking and videos on my channel to force myself to get better at it, because talking to people isn't something we can get away with not doing. It's nice to see someone else that I can relate with.

    This is my favorite video ever, it resonate with me. For a long time I have substitute words that had R in them with easier words. Just recently I started talking more, took Rachel's English to help me with my R's, took a online presentation course and other one to improve my speech. Because if I didn't then I wouldn't fulfill my dreams.

    i struggled since i was a kid and still have a hard time. it affects my writing and reading comprehension. i have to work extra hard than my colleagues. i am a post-graduate.however, it took extremely hard work. my undergrad professors that i was from another country. i don't stutter just issues with comprehending and my mind is faster than my mouth. to pass the undergrad intro to english literature, i took my test with the international speaking class. it took me forever to write papers. it affects my job, especially facilitating meetings and writing emails.

      Thankfully r’s aren’t my issue since my name is Reed, but d’s b’s are my main issue. I do the same thing as your saying. I sometimes say other words in a sentence so I don’t stutter. Ordering food is a stressful time and I try and find different ways to order the food I want. Stuttering really messes up your social life but I’ve been trying to own the stutter and you won’t stutter as much
