Yes, everyone knows my stutter I have the option just to do backline away from people or talking but I feel like I'm jut hiding from my problems so I force myself into the other positions. How come I ...

If you can't hide it well you should tell them about your stutter. I've improved to the point where nobody needs to know about it. But at my first job I told them during my interview....

Does your manager(s) know about your stutter? I mean it sucks, but some tasks just aren't suited for stutterers, like answering phones or speaking over a microphone. Blocks can be very transient. What...

Stuttering effecting my work!

Stuttering effecting my work! Iv'e been working at Arby's for a year now and was about to start a shift leader position but then i started getting really bad "stutter blocks". I completely can't do d...

I've heard about xanax and want to try it, but I'm still in HS, so convincing my parents to get this is just near impossible....

Thanks for both of your comments. I guess acceptance has to happen on several levels; let's say, we can accept that there is little we can do but embrace ourselves with our broken speech, and thus n...

That's very interesting. I would hesitate to say that's completely true though because I'm sure it was a small sample size. I can consult with one of my friends who does research in stuttering if you...

I know exactly what you mean. It kind of is a defeatist attitude in the sense that you still have a stutter. I have not given up on my stutter, I've tried thinking about it in a different way which ...

This is gonna sounds off the wall. Next time you have to present, stutter on purpose! Stutter as much as you can and make eye contact with as many people as you can. It will totally flip your view ...

I can claim to regularly accept my stutter. Also interesting note on age. I went to a NSA conference a few years back and every old person I spoke with had the mildest stutter. They all had the sa...

Figure out what your anxious about and flip it. This isn't the first time you presented, so everyone probably knows you have a stutter. You have nothing to hid. Know that everyone is anxious about p...

Personally I have never had someone not want to be my friend because I stuttered. I've never had a girl reject me because I stuttered. Kids can be cruel, but adults are different. Of course you will h...

I went to my doctor, explained my issue and got prescribed .5 mg of xanax. Take it 30 mins before a presentation and all nerves and stuttering is gone...

Great article, great writing. I'm pretty torn about stuttering. On the one hand I can rationally see the value of acceptance. Of not ploughing so much energy into something that many believe has a ne...

I know that it's also not always that easy. I have a hard time doing it. Writing has really helped me assess myself as a person who stutters and try to verbalize and think with more of a focus. If you...

Thank you so much! I think it's a lot easier for me to write about it and face and conquer it than it is for me to take it head on. I was talking to a friend the other day and he asked me about the a...

What I find so hard to accept about my severe stuttering is how much it complicates my life. Finding friends, a girlfriend and a job that matches my education level becomes that much harder. How do yo...

Thanks for this. Maybe from now on I'll focus on the things I can fix....

Look man, you are an awesome human being! Don't let a stutter get to you. You're capable of anything you set your mind to. I don't really stutter, but it does happen to everyone. You can either get ou...
