My experience is different because I started stuttering at 55 but I’ve got other disabilities and can’t work anymore so I have more than one reason to emphasize. For me, volunteering at a place that...

This is very clever; it lets them know that you stutter and lightens the mood in one fell swoop!...

I cringe when I hear that too… if anything, it’s a reminder that no one is 100% fluent. Usually, when someone says it, they’re just trying to save face quickly. It’s good they have a way to move past ...

Everything is a matter of perception. We all say "I didn't get much sleep last night" when we know there are people not sleeping because bombs are falling out of the sky or they live on an empty stoma...

Yeah me too, I have it in my CV and my LinkedIn. I'm working on my self acceptance and openly standing to it is an important step for me. If they have a problem with it, they won't invite me to an int...

I have been an adjunct at a college for \~9 years. 99% great with the pain in the a\*\* 1% who do not come to class, blame me, and roast my speech on their course evals. I am up front on the first day...

I do, and use it as an opportunity for self-effacing humor. When I'm introducing myself I'll say something like "and I've stuttered since I was a kid but it only comes up in low-pressure situations l...

Yes. I tell ALL my coworkers I have a stutter. This sets the expectation clearly and gives me less anxiety...

I feel your pain there. People are full of useless, even harmful advice…. Do I just talk less and less. I just tried calling a University in the area that a has a speech pathology program but I had to...

I disagree people will remember more the Introduction of a guy who stuttered vs a regular guy because it's out of the ordinary...

As someone here said, most people couldn't care less about stammering. Your parents maybe don't think you're stammering is that bad, or maybe they are just foolish...either way, try not to dwell on y...

Can definitely relate to this. I think it’s also important to whom you surround yourself with. You need people who don’t judge you for your stutter as the only way in my experience anyway that you i...

Another thing I thought of is by telling people that you stutter, not only are you making it easier on yourself but you’re also making it easier for everyone else who stutters. You’re spreading awaren...

Much depends on personality. I met few stutters with so strong charisma and aura, that when they talked with inevitable “mannerisms” people around sometimes copied them subconsciously, not mocking. N...

I feel this. I’m an introvert but sometimes I wonder if I just trained myself to be an introvert out of fear of embarrassment from my stutter. My confidence is dead in the water, which I see as my fau...

I totally feel you. I've had individual schooling since high school, and I genuinely think that it saved my life. My parents are very supportive; they take me to many therapists and a psychiatrist. I'...

I,m 18M and the things you mentioned in your post are the exact same thing that will happen to me in future and how hard or impossible it is going to be for to find a girl who understands me and Best ...

I agree truly. As someone who's also outgoing I try to engage with every conversation and like you said it looks like I'm having stroke. Sometimes I wish I could communicate telepathically or via text...

Been there, was very afraid to speak in school, was ashamed of myself, didn't have any friends, everyday was hatred towards anything and nothing but stress, i am 20yo now, and stutter reduced itself (...

I stutter and I teach my nephew how to game. Jkjk I've had teachers that stutter. I remember this huge brown dude, 6 foot something. Always stuttered but it never bothered him. Probably cause we were...
