Of all the people who know I stutter, not one of them sees it as a big deal or as a characteristic which defines me, which I have found has helped me greatly against my stutter over the years. All th...

Similar situation here in that my childhood stutter is essentially gone except when introducing myself. Having recently started a new job, the nerves/pressure are bringing it out a lot these last few ...

When I get closer to people I tell them but they probably already noticed. Sometimes not because when I talk normally my stutter is most of the time very mild fortunately, but basically my whole class...

Hi! I’m 26 and I’m a band and choir director at a high school with a moderate stutter. Growing up, I did all of the speech therapy (up until high school) and had help from my mom (who also used to st...

I’m over 50 and have hid it my whole life. If I lived over again I would try not to hide it. Hiding it this long has caused me some issues I feel....

Coming out of the stuttering closet takes courage bit it's worth doing. It's like a weight lifted off your shoulders. It's tiring to hide it all the time....

entourage Hello Do people around you know that you stutter? I don’t think that my classmates or friends know it, because when I am somewhere where there are many people I preffer to stay quiet. But...

Yeah, when you accept it as a part of you things start to smoothen out, not speech wise but in situations like these. One thing I learned back in the 8th grade was to make fun of myself before other p...

So you agreed to disagree but at the same time tried to correct on what I see as my reality by indicating I make myself fit into others reality by catering to them. Bless your soul, I never had to ca...

Am I entitled for not wanting to have to use techniques?

Am I entitled for not wanting to have to use techniques? There are many techniques that make me (seem) fluent: taking a super deep breath and exhaling out all the words, pretending like I’m singing a ...

See I thought it was obvious too (which is why I put it off for a while) but then I woke up to the fact that some people can assume it’s something it’s not. For me, them knowing I have an actual speec...

This is the most cruel part of having a stutter for me. I know my true personality but it so hard to express that personality to other people. The amount of times I have held in a really funny joke, o...

I really don't think it's something you have to "tell" (or not tell) people you work with per se. It's clearly obvious to my co-workers that i stutter. Does "officially" revealing such a thing make i...

I'm 26 and also have a stutter. If there's one thing I've learned dealing with my stutter, it's this. DON'T LET YOUR STUTTER/FEAR OF STUTTERING DEFINE WHAT YOU DO/CAN DO/WANT TO DO IN LIFE Not cari...

Sure I completely agree. I am thinking about what it must be like to be mute and not being able to speak at all. You can talk in sign language and it is I guess your default and you are able to expres...

Now I’m pretty young, about going to turn 18 this year. But throughout my short life, I’ve learnt an important lesson. I met a girl about 1-2 years ago. She was one of the nicest people I’ve met and ...

Okay, as a fellow 21 year old stutterer, let me give you some advice. Screw what anyone else thinks sbout you. Live the life you wanna live. Don't be ashamed to stutter your ass off. If anyone has an...

How can one be himself with a stutter, when it affects the way you express yourself,

How can one be himself with a stutter, when it affects the way you express yourself, [deleted]...

I don't think like that at all. It feels like giving up. Stuttering is not me. It doesn't define me. It isn't who I am. Sure, stuttering has allowed me to be more empathetic and more understanding, bu...

I totally agree! If I magically stopped stuttering one day, I would freak the fuck out. Like yeah I say "I wish I didn't stutter" but like if that ever actually happens, I would definitely freak out a...
