Good stuff! I did the same thing. I'm now at a point where I hardly care if anybody hears it anymore. Also, when you disclose it to other people, they often tend to see this as a perfect opportunity ...

Disclosing my stutter and talking about it with people

Disclosing my stutter and talking about it with people I don’t know if other people have similar experiences, but I used to absolutely HATE talking about my stutter. I would get so embarrassed and ash...

Funnily enough, you’re already using the best resource you can: him! I personally had to have the discussion with my wife that I don’t want to be touched, because although it’s soothing it makes me f...

"I'm proud that he didn't tell me in advance - he's no different than anyone else and doesn't deserve to be treated differently." Can you explain this more? Because the consensus here is you should d...

To be honest, some people who stutter are unable to admit it. Some may even think they're hiding it when it's very obvious to everyone else that they're not. Giving him time to speak is the best thi...

I don’t really remember ever talking about my stutter on purpose. Maybe once or twice at the start of a conversation, but that’s about it. I’ve heard that telling people can help with the stress, and ...

I can finally speak on the phone

I can finally speak on the phone Took me abit of time but i can finally speak on the phone all by myself. Was scared and nervous all this time but finally done it. I find it easier to mention i have a...

Boldwithpauses ❤️ using that name in future . Love it Let me ask you this… during your interviews or presentations, did you ever feel the need to self disclose your stutter or did you ever self discl...

"just" explain that you stutter and try to be friendly and nice and cool...

I’m not seeing why you think she’s at a fluency intensive program. From my understanding, Mackesey advocates strongly for voluntary stuttering in public, lots of disclosure and encourages normal brea...

My advice is, just say you have a stutter. It really helps. Oddly, I don’t stutter when speaking in front of groups. But I definitely do when speaking one on one with people. In my experience, if ...

Do you disclose that you have a stutter to the interviewers?  It was a game changer for me. ...

1. As everyone else says, she is well aware. 2. Really depends on person to person and the best thing to do is ask! I was just at a stuttering conference and one talk specifically mentioned a survey d...

I wouldn't bring it up, let him bring it up. And he is doing mental gymnastics constantly every minute of everyday just to try to speak clearly. He will bring it up eventually, you have to give him so...

No, because I would have just brought it up myself and even mentioned it ahead of meeting so the other person wasn’t surprised. If it’s something i had dealt with every day of my life and something b...

As a stutter myself, I tend to have to put way more inner thought when I’m stuck in a bad stretch of influency. It blocks my ability to alter my tone and make appropriate facial expressions naturally,...

1. We know we’re stuttering/blocking 2. It’s annoying when people fill in words, but not sure how others feel 3. I don’t feel the need to mention it to people...

There is no easy answer. My suggestion is to talk about it so he does not have to try so hard to hide it. The more he tries to hide it the more stress will build up and most likely his stuttering will...

1) Yes we 100% know when we're stuttering. In fact most of us know when we start a sentence which word we are going to stutter on. If your friend looks like she's having a seizure, it's because she's ...

I can feel it happening before I start speaking. A lot of times I will use language/words to rephrase what I wanted to say so I don't stutter while saying it. If I'm on a zoom call and stutter, I ca...
