Well I wouldn’t say I stopped caring. I still get anxiety in certain situations and that definitely makes me stutter more, but even with my wife, I stutter plenty, and I’m not self-conscious at all wi...

Do you feel as if your awkwardness is purely due to your stutter?

Do you feel as if your awkwardness is purely due to your stutter? **I feel that if I became fluent overnight I'd stop being awkward within a few weeks of socialising.** A while back I was hanging out...

Don't make it a habit to lie, people will lose trust in you and you will eventually lose trust in yourself and that is dangerous. Why lie when you can just use other words? I get that you also do it t...

You’re definitely not alone in doing this. It’s a habit I’ve had for a long time that I’m just beginning to break. I always saw it as the easiest way out to avoid a block but like you said after a whi...

I do this if I'm just out of energy and feeling super done with stuttering. Sometimes you gotta be pragmatic and I don't think anyone can judge us for that. One of the things about having a condition ...

It's usual bro, just persevere. When I can successfully get my message across, it doesn't matter if I stutter. Just don't make it a habit of lying else you create a false identity. Stuttering is norma...

That's common. My co-workers recently pointed out my stutter. I mean, they didn't notice it at first, because I transfer all the tension onto my eyes, causing them to be wide open, so they made funny ...

I've been thinking of getting something done like an unmasking theme to represent going from trying to conceal my stuttering to being open about it....

I say definitely go for it. What's the worst that can happen realistically? If you try it and you decide it sucks and you don't want it, well there are other jobs out there. That's the mentality we sh...

Exactly, I’ve caught onto me hiding from things and I’m now trying to push myself out my comfort zone. I’ve been offered a job as a supervisor for a bakery but I didn’t want it because I’d be talking...

Thanks for sharing your experience. That's encouraging to hear. Yeah, I've already decided to at least give it a chance. The worst case scenario is that it's not for me. I don't like to shut myself of...

If you stutter and you hate when someone else stutter then that's a problem, I met a stutterer before and yes It was painful and uncomfortable to Interact with each other but I didn't hate It cause I ...

A lot of good advice already, but I'll give my 2 cents anyway :). It sounds like you are loving and supporting parents and thats the best you can do for him. If you never told him it's ok to stutte...

Thank you. I agree. We have always been told to not make a big deal about it, so we have tried not too. His Dad did tell him that he needs to learn how to lower his volume. Our son called him out for ...

Thank you. His SLP actually has a few kids who stutter on her caseload. Last year she started a "social" type group for them. While he would go, he refused to participate in the conversations about wh...

Hi, i also told my parents and my SLP at that age that it did not bother me, but it did, very much so. I just wanted to be like any other kid, and admitting stuttering was a problem did not fit in tha...

I’m an adult woman who stutters. I do not think he is doomed to poor social relationships and not being able to find and keep a decent job. If he says/shows that’s it’s not bothering him much, you’re ...

I understand this is a vent but the more sick you are of your stutter and try to not stutter, but more you reinforce it. You need to learn to stop fighting it and slowly work on getting comfortable le...

I can speak Spanish decently (conversational, enough to survive in a Spanish speaking country) and ever since I began to learn Spanish in first grade, I stutter drastically less when I speak Spanish o...

No it isn't triggered by a specific sound. In Arabic it's like a jack in the box: pops up randomly every once in a while. In English, most of the time, I can barely speak. When I speak in English it's...
