Should I finish her sentences for her or let her finish? Hello! I am dating a new girl who is super sweet and kind and I want to be respectful. She has a stutter so she hangs up on words probably ever...

Sometimes instead of struggling out loud, I'll just go quiet. And if someone guessed what I am trying to say because I act like my mind goes blank before I carry on with a stutter out loud, if they sa...

help I’m a 15 year old that has issues with stuttering, I mostly stuttering when I have much stress or if there’s much stuff going on in my mind, but recently my “friends” have been making jokes of th...

Me! Since I was young, I end up looking so stupid because I can’t say certain letters and just resign myself to the simple idiot role. Or at the moment my colleagues think I need glasses because I hav...

To be honest, looking back....am not sure what (if any tricks/tools) i used. Maybe i stopped caring... and that let me be less worried about doing it - not sure. I will say, ive been told and notice...

This hits me to the core, you are right about the avoiding being chosen and not being respected. It’s really isolating and dehumanizing....

Absolutely the same for me. Like I saw in a few replies, it’s the mental aspect that makes a huge huge difference. We just don’t care if we’re having a good buzz. I like the idea that someone mentione...

I’m glad you realize we are on the same team My copy of the latest DSM is in my office at work, and I can’t readily find a link to the exact terminology, but I know diagnostic criteria now includes...

Huh? That wasn’t a definition, and I’m typing on my phone, so I used the old terminology accidentally. Since this is not a peer reviewed comment section, no one expects perfection, and my meaning ...

I have a this as well. I'll be stuttering so much that I just decided to quickly explain I have a stutter and describe the thing I want to say, oddly all without stuttering at all. "Can I have a C.....

I’m not seeing how the research is proving the point you think it is. Correlation doesn’t equal causation. I also don’t need to use it, as I’ve dramatically reduced the impact stuttering has on me...

That’s a great explanation of it’s an articulation disorder, which it seems to not be, as OP says “water” and “what” fine later on. It’s a very classic stutter block due to being a Covert stutterer, ...

I can definitely relate. A couple beers or cocktails and I can be the life of the party. Hell my Spanish speaking skills even goes from basic (maybe 1st grade) to something more reflective of someone ...

can’t say a specific word but can instead describe it normally without trouble

can’t say a specific word but can instead describe it normally without trouble for example this happened awhile back a waiter asks me what i want to drink and i go to say water but it just can't come...

OMG this post looks almost the same as my boyfriend and me!!! He had tried speech therapy as I suggested. However, the effect is not as good enough as what we have expected, and he still avoids to tal...

My theory is that we sometimes stammer because we are trying to avoid stammering. Sometimes a stammerer who has a solid technique, but still has feared words back away from the technique upon approach...

This hurts to read and I can only imagine the pain it must be to experience this. Don't take these experiences as a limiting factor for you, you need to find a way to be at peace with your stutter, do...

Yeah ik that I'm young but I already fear that I will die alone. Not everyone would be okay with dating a stutterer, even less with dating someone with low self esteem and mental health problems, EV...

Ok. So real talk here. As a fellow stutterer, did I sleep with escorts? Yes plenty in my 20's. I also got some free action one night stands etc but not all the time as I struggled in the bar / club / ...

Thank you. While its very calm and relaxed, don't you think people are generally impatient? I mean they may consider it as lack of energy and enthusiasm in our speech. With these many pauses, and this...
