I understand your pain. I've been having a hard time myself lately, but we must try to overcome it and persevere. Life can still be beautiful....

I’m writing this to let you know that you are not alone. I recently visited my relatives and they started asking me about my school/career. There were long pauses between each of my words and I had to...

Guy at Redwood Skywalk!

Guy at Redwood Skywalk! Hello! In case if you were in this subreddit, I just wanted to say thank you for being so kind and friendly. Yes, I noticed your stutter but it’s because I stutter just like y...

I’m really sorry to hear that. You’re not alone we’ve all been there. I’ve shared those exactly feelings many many times. You just have to keep going, keep searching, leave no stone unturned, you can ...

I think most people are more understanding and less judgemental once they get to know you more and realize that this is just a speech condition you don't have much control over. One tip that is not gu...

He’s not the right guy for you. I know it sucks - I had a FaceTime date with a guy and he rejected me bc of it. Know that the right person will understand and love you even more because of it. 💕...

Try to be patient. Don’t finish sentences for her, and whatever you do don’t say things like “just relax, breathe, or calm down” things of that nature. Just treat them normally as if they were speakin...

People who stutter (such as myself) have good speech days, just as they do bad speech days. We don’t know his circumstance other than the fact he has a stutter. Be kind....

I am a native english speaker and studied Japanese in japan for several months about 10 years ago. I think we have a similar level of speech-fluency based on your description of your stutter. I can b...

My two pieces of advice - 1. If you see her struggling, ask if there’s anything you can do to help (some people don’t like it when you try guess the word they are trying to say, whereas others think ...

Thanks for the support! I hope my fears are baseless. Though it's sad that people might see a stutter as a lack of language knowledge, when that isn't necessarily true. I saw in a video somewhere th...

Don’t treat her any differently to anyone else - just make sure you don’t finish her sentences. I’m based in Italy as well (I’m not Italian) - are you from the UK?...

I was actually in Japan a couple weeks ago and was able to use a little bit of what I’ve learned. I’ve only been studying for about 2 years but I found when it came to speaking with natives, at least ...

No that stuff is so annoying, we have heard it a million times. We just want to be treated and spoken too like anyone else...

Don’t tell her to relax, that comes off as very condescending and the fact that she’s stuttering doesn’t mean that she needs to calm down. Make sure you seem engaged in the conversation and have comfo...

Advice is often highly subjective, so it's not surprising if it conflicts. If she's willing, have a conversation about it. Find out what helps her and be respectful to her wishes. Apart from that, e...

This. Every single time. She's a friend, treat her as such. She's presumably an adult and will ask for help should she need it. Finishing ones words is generally thought to be rude amongst people ...

To keep it simple, treat her like anyone else you would listen to (unless you have really bad conversation skills lol). Give undivided attention and be patient and I think you'll be fine. Enjoy your...

Advice please! Visiting a friend with a stammer

Advice please! Visiting a friend with a stammer I studied in Italy and made friends with C. She’s got a stammer which affects her every day life. She stammers on words and sounds, and repeats herself....

Ok first, congratulations on this adventure! Amazing and I am jealous. And you know what, I think you’ll find yourself very comfortable and it might work out opposite to what you’re thinking. I’m gues...
