Something to play by ear and see what he thinks/how he reacts. It can be helpful at times but also hurt in the long run if the stutterer becomes more dependent on someone else speaking for him. Might...

Too anti-social for me, and that comes from someone with social anxiety. Sticking to places like these will only make you more isolated and introvert. Before you know it, you will have panic attacks f...

Oh my God. Wow. I don't stutter and don't usually need *that* little contact with people, but still! I know a LOT of people who would LOVE this place. Ha. ...

I work in a restaurant, and have been offered a server position, but I refuse to do it. I'm perfectly content working in the back doing dishes and all that. I'm the only person I know that stutters, a...

Thanks, I guess I'm one. It is a really crappy way to live as I avoid a lot of situations and I can't tell you how many times I didn't order the food I wanted because I would block for a good ten seco...

Well you're certainly not alone. I'm kind of in a similar situation. Been stuttering since I was a toddler (as long as I can remember). Throughout grade school and into the 7th grade I attended speec...

You asked to hear my story well I will gladly tell you but this is going to be long. I wish people would ask me this more often but people always seem uncomfortable about pointing out a problem they s...

I work in journalism and have for 5+ years now, at several community newspapers. No one interviewing me for a job has ever brought up my stutter, even when I did phone interviews and stuttered very ...

Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with you and I am already in the same mindset as in, the only true change can come from inside and what it really takes is for us to own our stutter. It make...

The way to do it is to not let it impact your life. Don't let it determine whether you do something. For me, a big problem growing up was I used the stutter as an excuse not to pursue what I wanted. S...

No, I'm from Macedonia. But I like Russian names. My kids will have Russian names :) You know, I don't think I always stuttered. When I was kid, I didn't care that much because of my stutter, but when...

Right, but surely, not _everything_ in life is necessarily impossible to do with a stutter. So what do you have in mind, specifically? :)...

But how to do that? How not to let the stutter impact your life? It didn't when I was in younger age, but now I'm afraid it is. Btw, I'm 20....

I alway thought I rather be mute. I know a few stutterers who said the same thing. I asked a few people who do not have a speech impediment if they would rather stutter or be mute? They all said "stu...

It depends on how much your stutter is socially impairing you. If you have a severe stutter or if your stutter causes as much socially issues as people with autism face, then yes you'll face the same ...

Stammer getting unbearable

Stammer getting unbearable Hello, In the last 5 years or so my stammer has made my life so difficult. When I was younger I would have described it as a serious problem, but as I have gotten older it h...

Stuttering and phone calls

Stuttering and phone calls One recurring topic that I see being discussed over and over - phone calls. Especially what to do if you're trying to make phone calls with a stutter. Before I go into thi...

Indeed. The majority of tasks that people wouldn't see as anything are very difficult to do for stutterers. I still get very embarrassed in the moment but I don't really care afterwards. Before I woul...

I understand what you're going through. I sometimes have good periods of fluency and then other times my speech is so bad I give up talking for a while. I'm slowly getting accustomed to the embarras...

I have noticed that once I started working and talking to multiple people from across the US on a daily basis(large corporation) I've become much more fluent. Putting myself outside of my comfort zone...
