Parents who stutter, does your kid have a stutter?

Parents who stutter, does your kid have a stutter? Im always afraid that my first born will have a stutter like me :/...

Haven't talked to a person of the opposite sex for close to 6 years. Stuttering does have an affect on me not being social, but the biggest factor stopping me is lack of social skills. I don't have th...

It's my biggest challenge. I have gone through a lot of desensitization and self acceptance but I have trouble getting over how anyone would deal with a first day where two people are getting to know ...

It's funny, half a beer gives me a slight, but noticeable boost in fluency. A drop beyond? Normal or worse....

As a teen about to turn 20, it's been absolute hell on my social development. Just now in my second year of college am I learning how to have a sizable number of friends. Speaking to strangers is an e...

Been with my current girlfriend for nearly 3 years. She is amazingly supportive about my stutter. Not once has she teased me about it, made me feel uncomfortable or anything untoward. She even encoura...

As others here have said, it definitely made me much more anxious about meeting people and perhaps more closed off than I would be otherwise. I in fact have never started a relationship from a casual ...

Well, meeting new people is somewhat harsh. I tend to be an introvert, so I hardly would make a move trying to pick up a "random" girl or something. But I've had my share of dates, and they go well. ...

PWS looking to work with other PWS. Hoping to see if I can help make a positive change in life and speech of someone else who stutters.

PWS looking to work with other PWS. Hoping to see if I can help make a positive change in life and speech of someone else who stutters. You can look through my post history to see some blog posts I've...

Been in one relationship so far which lasted for 4 years. We talked about it a bit, mostly since she was curious but it never affected relationship we had neither in positive nor negative way. Broke u...

I want to say it doesn't get in the way of me meeting people, as I'm normally social when calm, but it does. There have been plenty of moments where I would have probably made new friends/connections ...

Stuttering & Relationships

Stuttering & Relationships Hello! I’ve been following this subreddit for a few months and thought you might be able to provide some insight for me. I’m studying SLP and some peers and I are lookin...

I can't really come up with an explanation, but for me it's a lot easier to talk on the telephone with friends than with strangers. But I think that doesn't neccessarily have to do with the fact that ...

It's direct speech! When you talk to someone through phone, there is this instant fear of embarassing yourself, because the person you're talking to is paying all of his/hers attention to you. If you ...

About the same but I learned both languages kind of at the same time, so it's neutral....

Yeah, this is what I always figured. When you're face to face with someone and experiencing a block of some sort, they have visual cues and realize this. They wait. When I'm on the phone, the other pe...

I have the same problem and i also think it's about confidence .I guess the solution is to learn and speak more in english ....

Makes a ton of sense. I've had my charity when I was completely fluent and articulate in a class presentation. "This was all in my head"...

More power to you. I've heard from many stutterers that the moment they experience the biggest change in fluency is when they finally say "I don't give a shit" anymore and no longer see it as an obst...
