Does anybody have trouble saying their name?

Does anybody have trouble saying their name? So as a kid, like many of the posters I've read about on this subreddit, I used to have a severe stutter. After going to speech therapy a few times and ju...

Depends on the person, I'd say ask questions about it, if he brings it up. If he doesn't than don't worry about. As for finishing sentences, I'd say your safest bet is not to do that. :) ...

FYI, if you can do a search we've had a couple threads asking how about how to act with new friends or coworkers with stutters. But the general rule is to treat him like you'd treat anyone else. He kn...

Just let him talk. And if it feel comfortable between you, then you can mention it. But maybe that's more of a feeling if he would appreciate it. ...

Just be patient, i would'nt like to have someone that i did'nt know so well discussing my stutterig with me....

New friend has a stutter or speech impediment. How can I help?

New friend has a stutter or speech impediment. How can I help? In a circle of friends I have (arranged through meetup.com), there's a new person who's been coming to the meetings who seems to have a s...

Mention it, if you feel the need to. If she's worth your time, it won't matter to her. As for the date, try and relax, be confident. She might already know. You got a date with her, so she's interest...

Don't talk too much. Let her do most of the talking. Incidentally she will be happy to talk most of the date. Most people are like that. If for some reason you get stuck in a bad block you can mention...

What is this self depreciating mindset you have of yourself? And thinking "Oh she's too good for me" is stupid. Improve yourself so you get to the point where you're more or less equal to her. Just ...

Just relax and have a good time. When I'm on a date, I talk about my stutter when it's obvious. If she's really as great you say she is, then she won't mind. If she does mind, then she's not worth it....

When speaking to a person for the first time, I bring it up once I feel I had a noticeable block or stutter. I just say something like, "you might not know this about me, but I stutter." Then we just ...

Stutter on a date

Stutter on a date Next Friday i have a date with the woman of my dreams. I`ve wanted her for the last 10 years, and i tend to freeze up when she`s around. I`ve mostly spoken to her at parties where im...

Sounds like my experience exactly, dude. College was definitely a bumpy time for me, and I struggled with depression and anxiety feeling like I was leading a "double life" with my stuttering. I've be...

Joe Biden says he "repeated poems by Irish authors in an accent in his mirror every night"....

What do you mean "hide a stutter"? Do you just mean never talking. That seems terrible. I've had a stutter my whole life, and I just stutter through it all....

I stutter. People don't really make a big deal out of it when you tell them. They're always very understanding. They smile and say "that's fine, take your time", or if they're curious they might ask y...

Please refer to my reply above....

I partly disagree. I believe these techniques are ways of controlling your speech in the short term as to work on the psychological aspects in the long term. If you make these techniques become muscle...

:) I like being open about it too, so it's not awkward, the person I'm talking to knows the deal. It's hard to care about being awkward when the other person gets what's going on. When I stutter, if...

Right, I don't have the key to it yet. My journey isn't over. But I've at least experienced it for the first time. I now know it's possible for me, so now it's all about trying to have that state of m...
