Thank you for your feedback! This is definitely a tricky one so I might hold off and give him some time for now and hope he brings it up when he feels ready....

I appreciate your advice! I see some similarities between him and you, as in him not letting his stutter define him and I wouldn’t want him to be discouraged by me bringing it up. I think I’ll hold of...

> but at the same time I just want him to know it doesn’t change anything about who he is or how I view him. Tell him this. Some of us are really cagey about our stutter. Be forthright with him. ...

I think I've quite a similar stutter to your boyfriend, in that some people in passing wouldn't maybe realise that I had one. I'd be someone who would bring it up though, I told my fiancé even before...

Phone job

Phone job I recently started a job with phones , I have customers call in & they literally won’t even talk to me because I stutter , I cry literally every day , I’m trying to hold on to this job b...

I myself am a pretty heavy stutterer. I'm still 23 and just got my first job this spring so I don't have nearly as much experience as you, but I hope this comment can help somewhat. So, I've felt a l...

Has anyone else felt this way?

Has anyone else felt this way? I am stuttering since I was a little child. I knew I was different back then. I struggled with school and my classmates bullied me because of my speech. I tried so hard ...

One possible reason is that most severe stutterers hide and don't socialize very much, all the while mild to moderate stutterers don't stutter a lot and you don't notice their stutter unless you talk ...

I only say the words I know I can say so the 99% of ppl don’t think I have one and the 1% sometimes don’t notice. But I’ve met several ppl that notice and we connect over it...

Melbourne, Australia here. Mum stuttered really bad when she was younger but has completely"grown out of it" in her adult life. My brother and I have had mild stutters our whole life (early 30s now) b...

I think a lot of stutters talk less than normal, and many don’t stutter on the majority of their words, so even if you run into one you might not know. Outside of dedicated stuttering meetups I think ...

Texas here. I've come across a few people in my area who stutter, but often mildly enough that only another PWS could pick up on it. I tend to think that people with severe stutters are more likely to...

Hiding in plain sight. Many PWS avoid speaking as much as they can. They use tricks to get around their stutter. i.e they hide their stutter. There are different severities. Some of us have achieved...

Selectiveness

Selectiveness Does anyone not stutter at all when talking to certain people? For me, I didn't stutter at all when talking to my psychiatrist and therapist-it was because I already revealed that I stut...

I battled with a stutter starting in 2020. In late 2022 I started taking an antipsychotic, since my stutter (and most) are due to too much dopamine and serotonin in your brain. It helps to regulate th...

It depends. That can work as an exercise however the reality is people have short attention spans and don't always pay attention. You might feel ok with a Walmart exercise because it's something you s...

I can relate, I stuck with fast food places cause they place you in the back and your not directly dealing with ppl. I became awkward and kinda kept to myself cause it's so hard to say anything or con...

I know its not what you asked for but you should'nt be avoiding words. It just makes them even more intimidating and stressful when you try to say them in the future. If people get frustrated or ann...

How many of you are cashiers

How many of you are cashiers I have been since I was 18 at various jobs. It has been hell at times. Curious to know your experiences !...

Do not pretend you lack choice

Do not pretend you lack choice I went out with a friend a couple years ago. I opened up about my stutter. Along the conversation, I tell him I believed I would be great in sales if I didn't have a stu...
