I'm completely open about it. I don't make it a point to go up to random strangers or anything, but if I'm speaking with someone I don't know and feel like I'm about to have problems with a word, I ju...

I may be a unique case. I have my ups and downs for fluency, but I usually don't concede that anything is wrong with my speech. I'm okay with people knowing that I stutter, but if I'm meeting new peop...

Obe, you've hit the bullseye. I think that's the key, you've got to own it and not let it own you. I wish you the best of luck. Im not very open but im working on it. Trying to hold eye contact, get ...

I cannot tell you how much I love this. I wish I could up vote it more....

I have no doubt there's an NSA chapter in Boston. http://www.westutter.org/find-an-nsa-meeting-near-you/Massachusetts/ Chapters are really welcoming places where you can meet other people who stutter...

I'm open enough if I'm talking to somebody if it makes sense. The other day I had an interview, so I told them at the start when I started having some trouble. If I'm at a store and ask where someth...

I have problems with anxiety too, and I'm just now making my first effort to address it - I recently started therapy. I agree, anxiety does not cause my stutter but it does make it worse. Amazingly, I...

Being more open helps a lot! While being anxious (used here in the general, non-medical sense though I do also have GAD) doesn't cause stuttering it can exacerbate it for lots of people. Ironically on...

I find it hard to broach the subject, but it really helps when it is out there. Go for it!...

How open are you about your stutter? Does being more explicit help?

How open are you about your stutter? Does being more explicit help? I usually only speak to my family and close friends about my stutter. I'm sure the I people see on a regular basis know I have a stu...

I'm away at college right now but usually I'm a train ride away from Boston...

Link me a pdf and I'll add it....

Yes, a lot of people. I think connecting with other stutterers is one of the most helpful things for us. Where are you from? there are support groups or other types of groups out there. I recommend yo...

Yes lots. I had a close friend in high school that did. Also, you'll meet tons if you go to a NSA convention. I was one of the few people there that did not stutter... I felt very out-of-place....

Yes, several. One in middle school (we became goof friends), a classmate in college, and another classmate, this one a girl, who accomplished a lot in her four years. I also know a lot of people who I...

I try to think of short questions that require really long answers on their part. That way I don't have to talk as much, and they're on the spot. I've done a lot of interviews on the phone (with a ba...

I've only met a couple of stutterers, but none had the impediment I have (silent blocks) and it's also just extremely uncomfortable for some reason ...

i met one guy while I was waiting table back in college.He was going with his female friends. Since I got used to the job, I didn't appear to be stuttering when I took his orders. Boys, did he stutt...

Once, while at work. He was a Co worker. I told him I noticed it and that I stutter sometimes too....

What you wrote is quite inspiring, I am glad you were able to get to a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin and able to say what you want to say when you want to say it. I am 21 years ol...
