Tired of talking

Play

Episode 36

It’s hard living with a stutter. Even harder that stuttering isn’t understood. Today’s episode focuses on 2 of the many downsides of stuttering. First, I give a little bit of a rant about the perception that people who don’t stutter seem to have about people who do stutter. Despite what we tell them. In the second half, I talk about something that’s been going on stutterwise with me lately. I’m just too tired to talk. What is causing this and most importantly of all, how can I prevent it?

    .Thanks for this podcast. Becoming too tired to talk is something i feel and experience every now and then.Currently, i am a master student in chemistry and i am a graduate teaching assistant.Being a graduate teaching assistant is really tough if you stutter and it doesn’t give you the luxurious option of “not to talk”

    I have one question
    Do you think people who have neurogenic stutter and got their stutter as a result of physical trauma, do they experience the same struggle and anxiety when they stutter? sometimes i think if m stutter was as a result of physical trauma i would be much more accepting to it and would never have negative emotional package like i do now…

    That’s a very thoughtful question. I have no idea on the answer except perhaps they’d have a slightly different emotional package than us who who born with stuttering.
