Totally depends on the person (which is to say, your question is generalizable, and so is the answer, of course)....

Unfortunately, I think it really depends on how attractive the stutterer is otherwise. If you're good looking and/or confidant, it's probably not much of a problem at all. If these aren't the case, it...

stutterers who care about how they look good to women care....

Thanks for the kind words. Deep down, I know this is true. I had major anxiety going into college, yet I've been fine. I had major anxiety going into my first internship, yet I've been fine. I'm sure ...

Some thoughts while reflecting on stuttering.

Some thoughts while reflecting on stuttering. I know it’s a long read, but I’ve never posted here before AND I may have some insightful ideas that you can think about or comment on near the end. For...

I completely get you. I am really outgoing person, I enjoy talking to people, meeting new people, I even enjoy concept of public speaking but my stuttering is destroying that part of me. As much as ...

Actually, I think the two need not even be related. As in, we can be shy/anxious/nervous/insecure/whatever, whether we stutter or not. It's not necessarily a "function" of stuttering. Of course, stutt...

The more I think about it the more I realize...

The more I think about it the more I realize... I've been avoiding social situations because of my stutter I've always been a person to shy away from big social gatherings. I figure I do have some le...

Why do you feel that stutters are annoying to the people to listen to? Have people told you that or is it based on you feel when you listen to someone else stutter? In my experience only a small minor...

I hide it all the time. I'm very sensitive to embarrassment. When I'm not at home I often have earbuds in my ears to avoid people from talking to me. My neutral face expression looks angry according ...

I would rather seem like someone very stupid than someone with a stutter

I would rather seem like someone very stupid than someone with a stutter All my life I have been treated as my stutter is something bad. No one wants to listen to it. It's stupid. So I have this tact...

My god. I feel for you friend. I'm very glad it went well! That anxiety beforehand is a biiitch. As if job interviews weren't nerve-wracking enough. Because of that, it really compounds the stutter, b...

Wow, that's... I don't even know. That kind of thing is actually what causes my anxiety over my stutter--I usually don't feel any anxiety about it around my husband or parents, just frustration. But I...

Good job! I hope you get the position. Job interviews have never been fun for me either. My fluency always drops off during one. ...

Good luck. I might have some interviews soon as well for summer internships and I am frightened of an actual interview and working environment among other people. But it's stuff we have to go through...

Stuttered badly during an interview. Feeling hopeless now.

Stuttered badly during an interview. Feeling hopeless now. I'm a 21 year old male and have stuttered for as long as I can remember. I gave an interview today. It wasn't my first time, and I went i...

Totally know that feeling. I really dread doing introductions and get the worst anxiety when you're doing introductions and you know exactly when you're gonna be up....

I've had to do this going around the room thing at least 10 times since I started work at this job 4 months ago. It's a nightmare every single time....

Strangely, for me it varies. If I'm talking to a customer service rep or to a professional over the phone, it's difficult because their communication skills are usually very good so I feel pressured ...

For me xannax really made a difference in my fluency. It think the anti anxiety medication slowed my brain down enough and I was using therapy techniques I learned at an early age. The downside was th...
