>I've been stuttering since I was born but since like 6-7 years my stuttering changed into some kind of locks..i mean sometimes its really hard to say a word also i can't say sentence longer than f...

Confidence really helps and I really agree with you. After conversing with a lot of randoms overseas I've gained much more confidence in conversations. Also the fact that you're succeeding in a respec...

Yeah man, it is what it is, some people are just made that way, the guy that was telling me to 'calm down' was a bit of an arrogant prick, he didn't know anything about code, he was just the organiser...

Well mine is very mild to be honest, so I cannot speak for everyone, but it's fine for me, doesn't bother me what so ever, most days I go without stuttering and it's fine to communicate. I think the ...

I try to tell my close friends. I don't pass it off as a legitimate stutter unless they're pretty educated or else it just ends up in an endless conversation about how they can try help me, "slow down...

Yes I have experienced. In last year of my engineering, a campus interview was taken place. I scored 2nd rank in written examination. But when it came to Group-Discussion i was failure not due to lac...

I always thought that if you were a non-stutterer then talking in-front of people wouldn't have an effect on you what so ever. The biggest issue for me in University was the fact that I'd have to do ...

That's rather strange concerning your parents, for me it's completely opposite, but then again, my stutter is really mild and I don't stutter like most people do. But, I stutter a lot less around peo...

> there could be other reasons for them not wanting to speak in public. Yep, that's the thing, I know a guy who hates calling, he is very good at speaking with people and socializing, but when i...

You become uncomfortable because it's like a mirror and you (subconciously) worry if it looks like that when you speak too. There are people who don't stutter that get uncomfortable when listening t...

Thanks again for the response. I'm relieved to hear that if I had a child he/she wouldn't mimic my speech and develop bad habits or a the wrong feedbook loop for speech that I have. In regards to ...

you're on the stop. kind of a pressured filled situation for those who turn it into that. Plus, a lot of non stutterers arent very fluent in public speaking situations, even if they dont stutter....

i get so uncomfortable when i listen to other people stutter. i tried watching that, but... nope, it's too hard. as far as i'm aware, people who don't stutter don't get that. when i stutter around ot...
