Yeah i cannot speak about personal taste, i can barely get any words out so i cut most of them and try to change the subject asap...

Unfortunately that’s a risk we all have to worry about. But if it happens, then hopefully the other person will be able to understand and then you can both move on....

>“Apologies in advance for any stuttering and general awkwardness.” That's funny but what if I stuttered saying it :( ...

Things were definitely rough in the past before I finally found someone and entered a committed relationship (3 years and counting). I worried I lost opportunities due to my stutter but there’s no way...

I was working front desk at a hotel. Guest had an issue with his room that smelled like paint. (Hotel was going through a renovation) I had to diffuse situation while my nerves were in high gear and s...

Getting free drinks at a bar because they think your drunk cause you stuttered while ordering then you tell them that you stutter. They feel bad and give you some free drinks it's pretty nice haha...

This is where I’d recommend advertising. I usually say something like, “ oh no, I didn’t forget. I have a stutter.” And shake it off. Usually people are pretty apologetic. Sometimes I try to be funn...

A couple of reasons why you should disclose your stutter!

A couple of reasons why you should disclose your stutter! * Stutterers that disclose have a higher quality of life (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfludis.2018.10.003) * Listeners have a better perception ...

Tell your friends you like to speak to that you stutter. Just don’t make it a big deal. If you just tell them and rub it off as some little annoyance (or not even that) than they will treat it the sam...

I would recommend you practice mindfulness and self-awareness. To the average person with no exposure to these concepts, it sounds like hippy crap, but if you really make the effort to learn and pract...

we met through friends - my good friend from high school was celebrating a birthday at university, so I came down from mine to visit with a bunch of our friends. My now-wife was one of his Chemistry ...

Such a good thought man. I had a interview for graduate school a few months ago. Once it began I could feel the sweat dripping off my fucking head and the speech blocks appearing. Once I became so ner...

Mate, mind my language, but what the fuck did you expect their reaction to be? For the average person, hearing/seeing a stutterer is translated as extreme nervousness or some mental disorder. They can...

Nope, but there was another student in my team who before giving his presentation, told them he was a stutterer but he didn’t stutter at all when his part of speaking came (lol, good for him I guess h...

Did you tell them you stuttered before competing or giving your presentation?...

Bro, you'll stutter less if you tell people you stutter....

I used to try to do that, but by the time I've stuttered in front of someone, the embarrassment worsens it and I'm unable to get through a sentence like "oh, I stutter" lol (why did they have to call ...

Great suggestion and this totally worked for me - I've always struggled with cold, hard H's - 'Hello' or 'How' - so I had to come up with a similar script. Now through exposure therapy (it's taken ye...
