If you were stuttering to pretend some sort of mental deficiency or to imply a link between the two, then maybe. Otherwise, no, not really. Sorry, guess you'll have to go through the experience....

I just don't think you'd be able to recreate the feelings of anxiety that come from blocking or stuttering. I'd be pretty peeved if someone was pretending to stutter to me while I was at work. There...

That's some good rationalization to get out of this unfamiliar and scary assignment ;-). How can you expect us to do certain things if you aren't willing to walk that path yourself, just for the empat...

Sometimes I really appreciate when people guess. If it's correct I get a huge relief. I never get offended if they don't....

Yes, all the time. It's one of the most frustrating things about my stutter imo. I usually remedy it by using a word/phrase that's easy to say before my name (e.g., "my name is so-and-so" or "it's so-...

Usually I just try to relax. Put on some good music, read a book. When I was a kid I would go and talk to my pet. I don't really stutter when I'm alone or talk to animals so it was nice to just be abl...

I do this as well. While I may not be fluent everytime, the confidence puts me in a better state of mind. ...

All the fucking time....

I think we all do, brother. That feeling when a room is introducing themselves and you're anxiously awaiting it to be your turn so you can struggle to say the name you've only had your entire life an...

I've had a lot of problems saying my name to people in my past. Jesus sometimes it was just horrible, specially in highschool. I've overcame that by using this one technique that I have been using wh...

Yes and it's really frustrating, especially when meeting new people. Not the best first impression if you have a speech block for like 3 sec after they ask you for your name. Just "wtf" faces all arou...

I'm in a fraternity and have a stutter, and all of my brothers are aware of that and it's not a big deal at all. Don't worry about your stutter separating you from fitting in or anything like that; on...

Yes! I've been trying so hard to promote this mindset for the past few years. Good for you, welcome to the club!...

Comes down to this, either you find a fit in a fraternity or you don't. Stutter aside, that's true for any guy rushing. Don't force it, and if brothers from one are giving you shit over it, they ...

We all do - the thought is that our name belongs to us..we're not able to substitute another word to replace it or escape the situation. You have to say your name, one way or another. I usually end ...

Woah my parents also tried to get me a speech easy but I said no because it didn't really help and I didn't want it to look like I also had hearing impairments if someone ever saw it... And it's super...

Hi! New here. Life long stutterer checking in. My name starts with a vowel. Vowels are my kryptonite. I firmly introduce myself first. The worst is "I'm sorry what's your name again". Dammit, you s...

Before I went off to college I was the same way as you. In high school no one carried about my stutter I was fine with it. Going off to college I was scared and didn't want to stand out. For years my ...

Haha that's awesome...

Yup my pledge name was Remix! You will be fine have fun with it. ...
