The two comments above give great advice but I'll still give some of mine! \- If you clarify you have a stutter, it might get some pressure off of your shoulders. This will also clear the elephant in...

Not a stutterer, but the advice I would give is to let them know that you stutter, and then, well, do your best to give a good speech. Good does not mean stutter-free, rather interesting and impactful...

As a stutterer, this has happened to me several times. However, I've realized that people might laugh/get mad/ignore if they don't know how to react to someone stuttering. Usually they don't do it o...

I'm also a student interning at the moment. My number one advice is to disclaim your stutter to the people you work with! When I don't disclaim I find that I try to hide it, which makes it worse. Iron...

If you want to try and start coming out, start with the person you are most comfortable with. You don't have to come out all at once and let everyone know you stutter. Once you do that and let that pe...

I've definitely had some awkard moments of just saying whatever was easiest. I think the only way to prevent it is to just to tell people. I don't do it with my family because they obviously know that...

In my experience, most people actually feel uncomfortable talking about it. They do realize that something is "wrong" but asking: "Hey, do you stutter or what?" is something they think it might not be...

I'm 21. Until a couple of years ago, I was very conscious of my stutter. I was scared to speak up and all. Two years ago, I finally opened up and spoke to my sister. I told her everything, how I feel...

Do you talk to the people in your life about your stutter?

Do you talk to the people in your life about your stutter? I have stuttered all my life but I've never really spoken to anyone about it. I think this is because it was always treated as something that...
