Did three years in the infantry with a covert stutter. It was hard. I was punched and mocked many, many times for disfluency. Radios were anxiety producing. Had to fight five times as hard for every o...

I also have stutter, and I've been in the Army since March of this year. Just be honest about it with those around you, and you'll be fine....

I've decided that going into a presentation, I need to convince myself that I know the information AND I am an expert on it. The people there are to listen to and learn from me. I still stutter and ...

Sometimes no matter what you do, you're going to stutter. Just like how sometimes you work your ass off for fluency, and other times you just happen to be fluent with little effort, even if it's for o...

I say that because I give lots of people these ideas that are free, available to try whenever, and that objectively help many talk fluently. I'll later see them posting "I'm willing to try anything t...

This phrase makes my blood boil. But then I try to calm myself and realize it’s further proof that there are different types of stutter, and that most people are completely uninformed about what a “...

People mention something similar a lot. Disclosing, *but without apology*, has many benefits, mostly to you. It tricks your brain into not hiding your stutter, which has the benefit of increasing fl...

The best little tip that helps me personally the most.

The best little tip that helps me personally the most. I don’t know if someone has already mentioned this but I came up with it recently. If you apologise and say “I’m sorry” or explain you have a s...

Start the call with warning them that you stutter. I've done that for a couple years now and 99% of the time people just ignore the stuttering....

This seems like a Rube Goldberg technique - adding a huge amount of unnecessary steps, just barely addressing the root problem, and possibly further complicating the problem for a person without lots ...

Yeah and that’s exactly the reason I’d like to tell the person before hand. It’s both for my sake and theirs...

Yeah for sure. It's not something I'll put in my bio or instantly tell someone if we match. I will wait and see if we have good chemistry and if we seem to like each other. But I will 100% swipe tell ...

Exactly! I think if my dh put that in his profile or just came up front with it, and I didn’t get to know him at all, I would have immediately swiped left unfortunately. So give yourself a chance firs...

It’s not that simple for me. And some people really aren’t into people that stutter as much as I do, and I would be deceiving them if I don’t tell them beforehand. It selfish...

Yeah I agree with pretty much everything here. I feel like I’m deceiving the person if I delay with saying it. Some people really aren’t into it and I have to respect that...

Thank you for this perspective. I do think that it’s still a big part of me and I feel like I would be deceiving the person by waiting to tell them. I think I’ll wait until I’m rejected for it...

It is not the same, but once I met this guy that had a child through a dating app. He didn’t disclose it on his profile. We talked a lot, for hours, actually. He didn’t disclose it in that first conve...

I put that I stutter in my bio. it's a good way to weed out people. I wouldn't want to go on a date with a pretty girl and she find out that I stutter and ghost me. Mentally, I don't feel like going t...

Well from my experience dating my dh who stutters. He told me he had a childhood stutter (it was much worse than he described) after we were texting for a few weeks and right before I asked to call hi...

Thank you very much. And yeah being myself just happens to be that I also stutter, generally a lot especially around new people. I also find that some people get really really uncomfortable when they ...
