I wouldn't because it really doesn't define me as much as I maybe think it does. I word substitute whenever possible, or sometimes I'm just fluent for days. So it depends on severity I suppose, but if...

I stopped worrying about how others perceive me a long time ago. They honestly don’t care or even if they laugh it only lasts up to 10 seconds before they’re on to the next topic of discussion...

Would you be willing to change your voice if it helps not stutter?

Would you be willing to change your voice if it helps not stutter? I noticed my dh will be fluent when he changes his voice like doing impersonations or sings, but stutters especially on the phone whe...

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...

Never apologize for yourself. If you stutter they will notice without you have to tell them. No one comes up to you and apologizes for being overweight, or missing a limb, or having any other thing th...

As I’ve said in my other comments, it’s very much a part of me and trying to hide will do me more harm than good...

most fluent ever in my life

most fluent ever in my life Hi guys I just want to say that I've been the most fluent in my entire life. I just came back from a work trip where I was talking to people everyday for an entire week and...

I never mention it nor did I ever felt the need to. No one cared. Just when I met people, I said hey I have a stutter so it can take a bit longer for me to say things. Sometimes I say it before meetin...

Might be unpopular: Things can only limit your life if you let it. Do I stammer when I give a lecture, of course. But, I know while in the very small short-term it sucks, the long-term goal is there...

Never thought I could present so fluently!!!

Never thought I could present so fluently!!! Today I had to do an online presentation for a conference paper, and it still feels miraculous as to how fluent it went. I used to stutter so badly when my...

Does your stutter define you? If yes then mention it. If not let them find out during conversation. Their reaction will tell you a lot about that person as well....

You’ve made similar comments before and each time, I try to understand it. Can you share where you came up with this idea and how effective, in the longterm, it’s been for you and others? You say t...

You can say it clearly bc stuttering gets worse the more you try to hide it...

I talk openly about it with anyone that I feel comfortable talking with about personal matters, who are also curious enough to enquire. When stuttering in conversation with strangers, I'll just try t...

Well one thing you need to think about is that your stuttering is often separate from various other behaviors. So you need to know what you define “stuttering ruining your life.” If you avoid speaki...

I'm comfortable talking about it but there are far more interesting things to talk about. I rarely bring it up and of course nobody else ever does either....

I stutter since I am 6 and it is just how I am. Can't change it. I sometimes talk about how annoying it is when I am tired and how I hate calling because of it (I have to reword sentences to speak mor...

I'm 38 and this is my first job where I speak about it openly. My boss wanted me to speak in a call so I told him that I find that particularly hard because of my speech impediment. It's kind of a r...
