If someone finishes my sentence for me, I will finish it anyway. I have a friend who asked me if I wanted her to finish my sentences. I appreciated her question and was not offended....

Personally I appreciate people finishing my words for me. It takes away the stress of trying to say it yourself, especially if you're in the middle of a really hard block and no matter what you do you...

I'm firmly in the 'do not finish my words' camp. There isn't one single reason. A lot are mentioned here in the comments already, and honestly I'm really excited to see that. It's a complex thing. Man...

Depends on the person. My friends usually know what I'm going to say so I don't mind. I find that strangers will get it wrong fairly often though, which is annoying because I have to stop, correct the...

For myself, I've always found it *at least* mildly annoying when someone steps in as I'm talking and tries to guess the word that I'm trying to say as I'm stuck on it. It turns a normal (for a stutter...

Yeah, I tried once or twice and only realized afterwards that it might not be something she appreciated. But when I did, she didn't seem to take offense to it. Hard to tell sometimes though, which is ...

Personally, I absolutely hate it when people finish my words. It's absolutely condescending and patronizing. I've managed to live a long time and communicate without assists, and whoever is listening ...

I think it really depends on the person. Think of stuttering as having a broken leg. Some people are too proud to ask for help if they're climbing the stairs or even take offense to any help. Most peo...

The behaviours and tricks to not stutter are habits, the stuttering itself is not. Why is that so hard to accept for some people....

By trauma, I meant mental trauma too. You cherry-picked habit part & ignored the other. Now tell me why it couldn't be a habit in some people? We don't know, maybe, it's one of the most difficu...

Stuttering can be unlearned. For most people it’s a breathing issue. Fix that and you fix your stuttering (obviously it’s a lot more difficult than how I wrote it here)....

What if in all cases stuttering is not just due to neurological problems, but could be because of other reasons?

What if in all cases stuttering is not just due to neurological problems, but could be because of other reasons? Hi there, My intro: I started stuttering at age of 4, and my first case of stuttering ...

I am 47 and people still make fun of my stutter, however, when they do, I give them a history of my stuttering. It usually takes about five minutes. I used to think folks thought I was stupid but I ...

How do you deal with having a stutter in this world?

How do you deal with having a stutter in this world? I just...i get overwhelmed sometimes. A lot of the times. I hate having to introduce myself to people, I hate how fucking rude people can be, I hat...

>I overheard my manager saying to the district manager, "She's doing really well, we're working on her customer assistance, but she seems to be stuttering a lot, which is fine I guess. We will work...

I still stutter all the time when I introduce myself too; it’s always the words that we can’t change or switch around that makes it the most difficult to say. I still get pretty embarrassed myself whe...

PLEASE call the club management to complain about how you were treated, or have one of your friends who was there that night call on your behalf, if phones are hard for you. If the bouncer treated you...

Over the years, I've done different techniques and what I can tell you is that talking with your hands only helps for a period of time. It's like building up a tolerance to something. First you start ...

Ordering drinks at a noisy bar is the worst. Stand there for like 5 minutes with loads of people behind you, having to shout for the bartender to hear you, not able to get your words out because of th...

I got denied entry to a club last night.

I got denied entry to a club last night. This happens all the time. I was just answering his question about how much I had had to drink that night (it wasn’t even very much) and then he said that I wa...
