Yeah, mines is decent with my family but I tend not to talk in class because I don’t want to stutter, I keep quiet and no one suspects a thing. Can it get better by the way?...

I’ve told some of my friends about it and no one has noticed it. Mine isn’t bad but it’s noticeable when they know about it. It’s odd that sometimes people only notice things when they are told about ...

That's reasonable. It's a bit strange for someone to claim you don't stutter because you don't sound like some guy in a film. I know that not everyone understands stutters, hell, even we don't full...

I have had bad days and some bad stutters in my time here though. From listening to others with a stutter, I have seen that my stutter isn't nearly as bad as I thought but it's still very noticeable ...

I think that the majority of people don’t really understand stuttering and the different ways it can look. I had a classmate once who told me that I don’t stutter because they’ve seen The Kings Speech...

Does no one notice our stutter?

Does no one notice our stutter? I've been working in a call centre for maybe 6 months now. It's no secret I stutter, it's not bad and it's inconsistent but it's obvious I stutter. I spoke to a colle...

Humiliation I’m 61 yo. I stutter since 3. I’ve been ridiculed, shamed, double shamed: I felt the shame of both myself and my parents, humiliated, laughed at, sneered at, passed over at job solicitatio...

I thought my stutter was bad, atleast bad enough to notice. When I told my gf (now wife) that I block she honestly said that she hadn’t noticed and thought I just had an unusual cadence. I’ve had mu...

Lol, I like your response. There is a bit of cynicism on my part. I’m not saying I would be a hell of a lot greater than I am and had much better opportunities without my stutter, but it sure hasn’t h...

The thing is having a stutter you have to learn to be firm more than anybody else in order for people to take you seriously. When you were with your friend and you agreed and didn't want to cause conf...
