I consider it a bad habit. I need to just go with the flow, focus on controlling it, and let them figure it out for themselves. Or else only advertise it when I need to make a point. ...

I didn't really get any, because I was so worried of what would happen afterwards. It's not like they would only speak sign language with each other forever....

If I had one wish I would spend it on completely removing my stutter. Hands down. No regrets. I would be able to join skype conversations, ask a stranger for directions without worrying about an awkw...

I have to block "Chicken" with "Bird" and a bunch of other blocks and the younger cooks and wait staff thinks it's just kitchen speak. Quite humorous to my fellow cooks....

You got dealt a bad hand at birth. But not the worst hand. I would take my stutter over being blind, deaf, missing a limb, being paralysed, autism, and every terminal illness. I would take a stutte...

You're getting annoyed at how other people might see you though, no? I was in your position. One of these days I'm going to post a video just to show the severity. I was gone beyond the line of "not b...

I've already ruled out ever being happy overall. My mood is heavily dependent on my rate of fluency. My communication issues go well beyond the "taking longer to say it" aspect (I'm sure this applies ...

Id say a minute of ordering coffee and 10 sec blocks isnt like a small problem, but you dont seem to mind THAT much, so its good. For your type of stuttering id highly recommend MacGuire though. I ha...

Same here! Been doing it on and off for my 9 years. It still bugs me every day but I get by. ...

Toys Department Manager at walmart. I'm pretty good at dancing around words I have trouble with to help customers. Talking to upper management though? #blox4dayz...

I work accounting for a utility company, but have to handle the phone pretty often actually (2-3 hours a day). My stutter is mild and isn't a stutter, but speech blocking. Honestly, the worst this is ...

Programmer also. Great until you have to calm and angry executive and explain why their 'easy' feature that was already sold won't work...

I took the leap and became a bartender. Being a mild/moderate stutterer with blocks, I knew the job would be a challenge and I partially expected to be fired within the first month.. But being forced ...

A lot of things you said resonated with me, mostly the anxiety stuff, along with being unable to express yourself, that's definitely my biggest gripe with having a stutter, feeling stifled emotionally...

Well, this post reminds me of something that I was forgotten trough my busy job with a lot of phonecalls, meetings and talking to a lot of people on a daily basis.......I Stutter too...... I get rar...

Yeah agreed it it does get better. When I interviewed for my job I was pretty bad, kinda had a hard time communicating, it def was awkward for everyone. When the classic what's you biggest weakness ca...

not to deflect from your point, but you created a scenario of either staying a severe stutterer or finding a magic cure with no middle ground. When these are the only two options the only result is mi...

I think way more effectively when I'm by myself. I find myself to come across too simplistic when talking with others. It's either I sit there with my mouth stuck open trying to get the word out repe...

I find this also, mostly because when speaking with people, all of my energy goes into not tripping up and blocking on my words and not what I actually want to express. It's unfortunate that we don't ...
