I’ve told some of my friends about it and no one has noticed it. Mine isn’t bad but it’s noticeable when they know about it. It’s odd that sometimes people only notice things when they are told about ...

They’re not really irrelevant. Anyone you talk to has an effect on who you feel you are as a speaker. Letting your internal self be known will help you be more free. Yes, I think there are some inte...

My boyfriend told me very late that he stutters, I had to come in terms with it the hard way and still not fully over it.. I believe it is better to tell him before your relationship goes deeper....

I have been there and I didn’t have to tell anyone as they could detect it. In the 70’s no girl would date me because of my stutter. I was 24 before I got a first date. But keep this guy as he unde...

Hi there. I think we can pretty much all relate to what you are pondering. The desire to be accepted and valued for who you are. A key message on Reddit has been stammering is part of who you are, not...

Good luck! My husband, when we first met, didn’t tell me he stuttered, because his is pretty severe and it’s obvious, but when we got to know each other better he talked to me about it, and that meant...

I just feel like I have to. I don’t want to hide my stutter if the relationship progresses. If I do that, then I feel like I’m hiding who I am....

Very little reason there is not to tell him. If you don't, and the relationship goes forward, how are you going to hide it? By taking deep breathes and taking slowly? Nah. Just tell him. If having a s...

Just out of curiosity, does your boyfriend know you have a stutter now, as in you stutter now when you talk with him? Do you feel restricted in your speech when you talk to him, as in you can not say ...

Telling the guy I'm seeing that I stutter...

Telling the guy I'm seeing that I stutter... I know it shouldn't be too hard but I'm having a hard time disclosing to the guy that I'm currently seeing that I have a speech impediment. Just afraid tha...

First of all, congrats on the interview. Second, disclose your stutter and then move on to highlight your KSAs (knowledge , skills and abilities). YOU GOT THIS! Enjoy the conversation and focus ...

You should start the interview off by telling him about the stutter immediately after you introduce yourself. That way he won't be blindsided and hopefully not interrupt you if you get a block. I've...

OpEd In San Diego Paper: It took me 29 years to ‘come out’ as a woman who stutters. I now help others do the same.

I stutter on my first name, last name, and phone number. This year I have also needed a lot of medical attention and have seen 5 new doctors. I feel your pain. I do my best to just get through it. Som...

I'll look at these books. But I don't want to disclose my stutter to irrelevant people....

I’m sure this doesn’t work for everybody but when I’m about to stutter on numbers in a phone number I just say “uh” beforehand. Like “555.. uh.. 3751” I can say it quickly enough that it’s not super n...

Something I found incredibly helpful was to stop hiding it. Whenever I speak to people I don't know and the inevitable block comes, I usually stop, force myself to smile (it helps) and say something a...

My mum always told me not to care the interview. Walk in as if you don’t want the job Don’t actually do that but have it in your mind lol. I’m sure you’ll do great though. Maybe a ‘FYI I have a stut...

Stuttering can be passed down, but it's not a guarantee. My mother stuttered when she was alive. I stutter, but none of my siblings do. In the same manner, both my parents needed glasses ever since th...

I’m with you. I never tell people I stutter and I think it’s generally a bad idea to do so. Immediately when a person hears you have a speech disability, you are “mapped” in their brain as inferior. C...
