I don’t want to make this about me by saying I have a similar story. You’ll get through it, be upfront about it and hopefully that can redirect your focus with them. Do you stutter around your girlfri...

starting off, i’m sorry; as a stutterer myself, saying my name is extremely difficult. secondly, you should definitely talk to your friend about it if comfortable. it’s short, but i hope this helps!...

The fact that you are able to express yourself in such a detailed way is already a huge step in the right direction. The biggest advice I can give you is to stop caring about what other kids say. Beca...

Stuttering can heavily affect your relationships if your partner is not aware of how a stutter works, what can cause it, and is just generally not educated on them. In this case, the best thing to do ...

I think I'm fit to tell you this since I also stutter and literally JUST had a college interview today morning. I know it's scary, I know it's nerve wracking. I understand you 100%, I also feel a kin...

Forget it! Not everyone thinks we’re stupid, unfortunately the ones that do can leave us insecure for a long time. Don’t waste your time ‘proving’ yourself to people, you will lose a bit of yourself. ...

When I had one of my first interviews out of college, I stuttered a ton. Really bad. And the interviewer said they couldn't hire me because they didn't think I'd be able to communicate effectively. T...
