This is an inspiring post I really admire your mindset! (Aside: Strong username to post content dis-correlation) :P ...

I truly feel for you, I completely understand how you feel. I am 20 and in college and it feels horrible to be passed over for internships in my field (Kinda computer sciency) because I don't convey c...

Damn, sounds like a really rough time man. Ive stuttered openly all my life, but I have a lot of friends who are covert stutterers. Despite my severe disfluencies, I cant imagine having to deal with t...

Stuttering;Disconnect Living as a covert stutter for 20 years has left me with a catastrophic hole in my spirit, connection to others has been skewed for so much of my life that I feel completely inhu...

What you're doing is right. Most stutters I know dont want special treatment but basic respect, which is exactly what you're doing. Honestly, I wouldnt overthink it and try not to care. If the listene...

I agree with this, to a point -- triggering "the talk" can be confrontational. As such, is best done in the presence of an established rapport. So, the first time you meet someone isn't always the tim...

It is absolutely proper etiquette. Just don't seem impatient and try to egg him to finish, that is the worst.I work in retail, so i'm talking to people all day long. The majority of them are fairly ch...

*Yes,it is the right etiquette.But you shouldn't exactly pretend like he doesn't stutter,you should acknowledge it and make him know that you do and it's okay.It will make it easier for him because it...

Personally, I've found that the more you try and plan your sentence or you think it over in your head, the more you end up setting yourself up to stutter. The less concious you are about it and the le...

I should also point out that I'm applying to the sheriff department to be a deputy. My stuttering isn't severe as others but I do still have that feeling of fear and hope one day to get rid of it. Do...

I think it's all in the mind. Even though I don't stutter as much anymore, I still have that feeling of fear or failing; that I won't be able to speak fluently. I need to get rid of that fear, but I d...

Yeah, i wont tear up or anything but I can't just sit there and watch. it's really difficult. Ive always been really open about my stuttering but I know theres a big part of me thats still very uncomf...

This sounds a lot like my situation. It was pretty brutal for me too, took me a year to find work. I dont know how job hunting goes in the UK, but here (US) we use online applications a LOT. Monster.c...

Can you post your results after this program is analyzed? And for the record, I agree with your beliefs on primary factors for stuttering. Learning to change our subconscious I feel would be a key be...

No they don't, they just talk. They never had a need to think how to speak, only what they want to say. If there is anyone out there who knows how to become completely unself conscious, please let me ...

How do fluent people think before they speak?

How do fluent people think before they speak? It seems to me if I rehearse in my head what I wish to say, I will block on some words or I can't even get the sentence started. However, sometimes if I a...
