I'm so glad that Emily was comfortable to tell people that she stutters. I am also a person who stutters since I was a kid. I wish I could her meet one day and talk with her about stuttering. Very proud of her :D

That's really interesting. I never knew it could be hereditary.

unless its cause by a physiological issue it isnt. Most childhood stuttering isnt caused by a physiological issue. So for the most part it isn't.

Even today I still stutter, so I get really nervous during work or a job interview cuz I'm afraid it'll affect how the manager(s) see me. Very happy that Emily shared her experience

Thank you Emily for continuously speaking about stuttering. As a person (female) who stutters you are an inspiration and the more we talk and create awareness about stuttering the better chance we have at changing the way the world views stuttering and the way we can overcome the stigma that is attached enabling each of us to communicate effectively regardless if we have a stutter or not. Thank you.

Where would we be without our teachers? What a lovely story about how a teacher pushed her to become what she is now. Educators need more recognition and acknowledgment of their worth in society. Thank God for teachers!!

You are an amazing human being and PLEASE don't let anyone tell you different! Fuck society because being different is the BEST!

This makes me so happy. As a person who still has a stutter it’s so nice to see some representation out there. No one talks about it and it really is a burden on my life. Thank you Emily 💓

My name is Emily too, but I often give other names during introductions because stuttering still gets in the way. I've love Emily Blunt as an actress and because her stuttering experiences are so similar to my own. I have a father and uncle who stutter, I'm British American, and it's followed me into adulthood. I'm so thankful for her story, it's given myself and others hope.

I don’t mind people finishing my sentences, but I want people to stop after 3 wrong answers.

Hahahaha this really made me laugh.

Glad she talks about how she still actually has a stutter. I don't have proof of this beyond a lot of anecdotal evidence, but I believe that fewer people "grow out it" than researchers think. I believe that a person's stutter may lessen to the point where it can often be hidden, but that actually there are more adult stutterers than are accounted for.

I can totally realte to what she is saying. I didnt stutter but i had a major speech impediment as a kid and growing up. I work very hard to speak clearly and to be able to enunciate and pronunciate which is very hard for some people. And it doesnt every truly goes away. I have moments when certain words get paired up or when j talk fast where it becomes a tongue twister and the impediment resurfaces.

I wonder what she did in therapy to get her that fluent in speaking. I wish the same for myself one day

Just when I didn't think she could be any more adorable!

Interesting - thanks Emily for bringing attention to stuttering, i dealt with it throughout elementary and highschool, i developed anxiety as a consequence of my stutters during class. It started going away when I focused more on my English, which is the interesting part because I wouldnt stutter in a different language, so I became a translator. I dont ever translate anymore for others, but I still practice my english everyday at work. So because i gained more confidence in this second language, i also gained pride in being one of the few people in my classes that was actually fluent in english and translation came easily for me, i took this confidence and bring it with me everytime i speak Spanish to people outside my group of friends and family, and i rarely stutter anymore. It does come back from time to time when I feel stressed or pressured about finishing tasks and whatnot, but it is really rare. Idk why im sharing this with the internet haha

Adriana A Thank you for sharing your story. You may not know this, but it will help and reach millions of stutterers around the world.

I wished my drama teacher encouraged me to act. I was the quiet mouse in the corner and hated drama class. Felt so uncomfortable at people looking at me. Now i am a KZreadr.

I stutter and my mom sent me this about Emily and that's what landed me here. It's nice to hear her story

My best friend stutters, and she has now got braces. She is incredible, and handles it really well. She has taken drama for gcse and loves acting, but we are in such a big school that I feel she sometimes gets shunted aside. When I talk to her I don’t even realise she does it, and I don’t think she would be the same without it, it’s just like having freckles or glasses, and it makes her unique and stand out from the crowd. Xx

Never thought that this is really a thing... Thanks Emily! Been experiencing this at some days, and I truly pray thay I will totally get over it.

Is it weird that I find stuttering kind of disarming and beautiful and raw? I applaud everyone who conquers that they feel is holding them back, but I think in a really overly fast-paced 'fake it til you make it' world, there's something really beautiful about just not being cookie cutter... whether you wear that on the outside or not, we all have it.

You would never have known she had an issue, funny how it probably set on her on the track to be an actor and what a great teacher to spot it. fair play to him.

I’m so happy she’s open about this! I’ve never stuttered but I had/have a speech impediment called ‘cluttering’ which is kinda similar that really bothered me as a kid, and I didn’t even know it was a speech impediment until now as an adult. It’ll still flare up from time to time, but at least now I know it’s a neurological thing and not just nervousness.

This is so true. im currently 27 yo. And im ashamed that i stutter alot. I have difficulty on starting certain vowels and consonants thats starts with an "ugh" or 'stressed' sound. like ( a,i,e, c, k,o) its always an extra effort for me to formulate a sentence because first, in my mind i try to modify the sentence like for example: Can we go now?.... i modify this into "lets go now, ok?" since i can pronounce "L" with ease rather than 'Can'. Being a stutter fcked my life bigtime. i become introvert and not good at public speaking. I wish stuttering is just like a disease that can be treated with medication. But reality its not. Like emily said, Its really not about anxious thing, or about shy thing. Its about the connection between brain/tongue mystery. :(

I have a colleague who is a stutterer - and I am amazed again and again about his dry humour and intelligence, which I only found out by having lunch together every day. Because he just does a "lower" job where not much brain is needed there is this prejudice that stuttering is connected with "less" intelligence. And this is so sad. I am sad that I had this prejudice and I am sad that he has no better job because employers dont have - or dont want to make - time to find out more about him.

Just bumped into this. Love Emily Blunt and the way she discusses her personal journey with stuttering. We still have a ways to go in our de-stigmatization of this very misunderstood disorder. Bravo to Emily for talking so openly about it and with such compassion and authenticity.

Her mom looks like Meredith from the office😂

For some reason mine happens when I speak to my friends, I hate that moment when I'm in j sentence I just stop, I'm like wtf

She's such a beautiful woman! Fell in love with her in the movie..young Victoria.

Lovely lady, she's done so well.

I really wish i could meet her. I stutter myself and it really frustrates me

I really wish I could meet u Emily. I have a stammer too I absolutely hate it

omg everything she said is true. I have this and yes yes yes she is 100% right

The worst thing is about stuttering what I have experienced that they have treated me like a mentally damaged person and after a while I have believed it. Even my own family wanted a healthy child, so they have forced me into different therapies instead of loving and supporting me. Clinical studies say that stuttering is a sign of emotional neglect. I always wished to be like an average person, to not carry this cross, but stuttering is also part of me. True friends will love you unconditionally and they helped me a lot to defeat the self blame and shame. I have wasted so much energy to talk how people have expected it. Later I have joined a little stutterer group and I have seen much worse cases and everybody have said I am just a soft case. Now I work as a pharmacist, so I speak with plenty of customers day by day. Even adults have commented about my accent and my stuttering which have caused sadness. I have noticed it is worse under stress, tiredness or when they remind me as I don't necessarily hear myself how I am stuttering. I have recorded my own voice a few times, but it was shocing. I have also realised I stutter less in English and more on my native Hungarian language. Anyway I am proud of Emily Blunt and Rowan Atkinson that they were talking about this problem.

ow my heart

Just to share my way how I overcome my stuttering. I used to memorize one Bible verse everyday and pray.

Hi Emily Blunt! I’m a stutterer also since 6yrs old and now i’m 29yrs old. It’s really hard to control my speaking ability especially when i worked in the sales dept of a soda company.

A funny voice, i am in my 50s, best therapy ever

Haha my teacher was telling us about this, he was the teacher shes talking about, he teaches history. Just thought that was cool lol

I've been told it's from anxiety and thinking you're gonna stutter.

Lovely women ❤️ I love her very much ❤️

I talk normal before start this year, 2018 (I'm 16 years old), I start to stutter.

And the best revenge is her wonderfully elegant and polished English now.

I disagree. If they finish my sentence for me I’m great full, we both know what I’m trying to say why waste time just cause you assume I’m fragile

You wudnt think she has a stutter

I wonder where her bullies ended up???. I think she has done quite well for herself.

After long search for a cure to stuttering, I stutter so bad and it affected my life, and career! Thanks to doctor isibor couldn't have done it without his herbal treatment and body cleanser I'm very happy can speak fluent..

Going to do suicide, my life really stucked, No one courage me, i can't job anywhere in the world Even i can't say my name in my class and in front of anyone 🤕 People makes fun on me, they don't know what condition I'm facing due to stammering like anxiety depression etc God help please 😭😭😭
