My SO does this sometimes and while I don't mind it at times, I didn't really enjoy it done all the time. I realized that I became sorta dependent on her to speak for me. After a while my anxiety wh...

I think it depends on the person. My s/o right now started putting my name down for party of 2 at restaurants because I always experience a block saying my name. I never asked her to do it, but I'm ...

The first step would be stop thinking of yourself as your worst enemy. It is quite natural that you think about stuttering. Pretty much everyone on this subreddit have had/is going through that. The ...

I wouldn't say it's worse. He stresses less and is much more comfortable with me so it's somewhat mild around just me now. But I can't help feeling like maybe me talking for him sometimes may hurt him...

Do I enable my SO, or am I helping?

Do I enable my SO, or am I helping? My SO has had a stutter his whole life. We've been together a few years and I love him to death. When we first started dating he did his exercises, practiced a rout...

I work in a restaurant, and have been offered a server position, but I refuse to do it. I'm perfectly content working in the back doing dishes and all that. I'm the only person I know that stutters, a...

Any servers here?

Any servers here? I've been thinking about becoming a server, and while I have some experience, there are still some mental road blocks that need to be addressed; like fears of this and that. What hav...

Yea, definitely. Make sure you keep your practice up, as it is easy to fall back into old habits. Your absolutely right that the only one we are fooling is ourselves. That is a big part of beating stu...

Great topic, i just came back from the Mcguire Program and thats the first thing they immediately pointed out to me. They taught me how to stop hiding my stutter and just attack it. At first it felt l...

Thanks, I guess I'm one. It is a really crappy way to live as I avoid a lot of situations and I can't tell you how many times I didn't order the food I wanted because I would block for a good ten seco...

First post, seeking advice

First post, seeking advice Hello stuttering friends. This is my first post here; I just wanted to share my experience/ask for some advice. So. I am 21 and in college. When I was young, my stutter was...

I'm perfectly fine with communication at work. And that is the only thing that matters to me. There has to be a point for me to talk, otherwise I see it as a waste of time and energy. I do not have ...

How do you guys manage to live in this world ?

How do you guys manage to live in this world ? When I was young , hanging out with many friends but avoided to say the words which might stuttered me and I am good at saying funny stuff so I have a lo...

Same story to me When I was young , hanging out with many friends but avoided to say the words which might stuttered me But I got older and moved to abroad... stuttering is turning to pretty terrible....

The bit in quotes I meant as my dramatized interpretation of what coddling is actually saying. As in, the people doing the coddling are telling (though not directly, as I wrote) the stutterer that he/...

> I know I'm in the minority but I don't go for the whole "woe is you, poor stutterer, you are less than a regular human, so we will not require you to do the things a regular human can do." Nah, ...

Oh, it definitely had. My whole mentality changed after a breakdown about stuttering in university, but it was a long road to get over it from there. As I said, I can't say what's best for anyone el...

I definitely can't say I know what's best for everyone or what might happen from a situation. All I know is for me, I had an English teacher in Grade 8 who let me off the hook. I got to do my presen...

Same for me, but I believe special treatment by teachers in high school was directly detrimental to my development. It let me off the hook and delayed me having to face fears....

It varies, personally I hated being excluded by default in class. Like, sometimes I would have a nice report or a presentation that I would like to share with the class and then the teacher or prof in...
