I used to not stutter any. Oh, I did when I was a kid, I stuttered, I had a bad stutter until I was probably between the second and third grade and a guy got rid of it for me.
Young adults living with a stutter is hard work. How do they handle job interviews? What do they do when the phone rings? How do they 'chat someone up'? All these things the average person takes for granted prove to be a stammerer's biggest challenge.
People don't know. People are ignorant. They feel that if you stutter, then you're slow or whatnot.
Well, no, you can prepare it all you want, but I'd still stutter.
The happiest stutterers, I learned, are those who are willing to stutter in front of others.
I used to stutter really badly. Everybody thinks it's funny. And it's not funny. It's not.
Rebecca Black might sing like a robot, but that's just proof she has evolved beyond us. Her vocal is just a slightly exaggerated version of the robot glitch-twitch stutter that's been mainstream pop vocalese for the past 10 years or so.
Sometimes, when I'm trying to get my thoughts out, and I'm thinking too fast, I stutter.
I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.
I have such bad memories, sitting in the back of a classroom, being told, you know, everybody is going to read a paragraph, and skipping ahead to my paragraph and being mortified and trying to read it enough times so that I wouldn't stutter and stammer, getting called on, even in high school.
