I have it the same way, have been like this for as long as I remember. I really don't know why, it's not that I don't care about my stutter around family and stutter more because I use less technique...

You may stutter, but it sounds like you might let it define you too much. I stutter too. It sucks. And I respect you for trying everything you can. You can do any job you have your heart set on - espe...

I appreciate your response very much. Can you maybe give some more details on data entry stuff? I don't plan on doing this long term at all. I just need like a stepping stone to get me out of this rea...

My go to has always been data entry and record clerk jobs. I've found that both of those positions require minimal speaking. However, try not to box yourself in because of your stutter. If there is so...

Same. For me, pressure actually helps with my stuttering, e.g. meetings and networking; so when I’m around friends, more comfortable, I tend to stutter....

It's the same for me. Maybe it's because you're kind of acting and not being yourself when meeting new people. I find that when I act differently to my normal self, I stutter less... stuttering is a s...

Get educated about stuttering?? I stuttered for over 40 years, been to numerous speech therapists, intensive speech courses etc and made no difference. Not stuttered for over 6 months, thanks to L...

Personally I find the opposite to be true. I believe it is a psychological subconscious thing. I stutter more frequently around people I am just meeting because I am nervous about them first noticing ...

First of all congrats! Sounds exciting in a lot of ways. As far as the stutter, I have some experience stuttering in front of those that don't speak English. I took Japanese in high school, and we ha...

I think its not a good idea to rely on it heavily, but for first day of school, stuff like that, I dint see a big problem. Your stutter may relax as you get older anyway. You sort of realize with a...
