I usually tell people up front if I start stuttering in front of them, especially blocking. So far it doesn't feel like anyone has given me any special treatment because of it. I used to get more nerv...

I did my first speech on my stutter. It 1. Helped people know I had a stutter beforehand. And 2. Helped me own it and be confident even though I wasn’t. The rest of the quarter I aced all my speeches ...

I didn’t before because I was ashamed. But now that I have accepted the fact that I stutter and it is with me for life, I still can’t admit to people easily because both “stutter” and “stammer” are hu...

Sometimes I tell them up front, sometimes after I stutter. It sucks because my stutter comes out at the worst of times like when I'm introducing myself (I have blocks for my name which is annoying). H...

Yep, I get it. I wouldn't ever say anything like "I'm a stutterer". No need to label yourself. My experience has been that as long as you clarify that your stutter is something that's normal to you (...

But wouldn’t they take that as it’s just a temporary thing, like you are nervous? Yea, I sometimes also say “certain words are hard for me to say” but without specifying it’s stutter, so people might...

I admit it to the person I'm talking to only after I stutter in front of them so that they don't think I'm mentally handicapped. Usually goes like this: >Me: *stutter occurs* >Me: "Sorry, I h...

I agree. I always feel like it’s the elephant in the room until I acknowledge that I stutter. I am completely open to talking about. Some people are still assholes but that is their problem, not mi...

Do you admit to people that you stutter

Do you admit to people that you stutter Just curious, do you admit to people that you stutter?I have stutter for more than ten years now, although I’m fine with it and most people seem to know I have ...

I'm sorry to hear you're going through a hard time. I am too and my speech has gotten so bad I broke down in front of my boyfriend (my speech is a disaster around him). One time I was having a ROUGH ...

So true. I'm 25 as well, just a couple weeks ago I was talking on the phone with someone for work with the goal of explaining what we do etc., basically I was a salesman of sorts (a job I purposefully...

Not much advice to offer, but I just wanted to let you know that your post and comments here could've been written by me. The covert block stuttering, 10x worse in "official situations", fluency when ...

I actually think most of us only 'block', and hardly ever stutt-ut-ut-er I think that (one of) the most annoying thing(s) about stuttering is that no one ever recognizes it as a stutter, and often pe...

I’m sure he knows.. if he’s really oblivious TELL HIM?! hiding things in a relationship isn’t good big or small and honestly stuttering is a small issue (coming from a stutter). Once you tell him he’l...

Just tell him. If you can't tell someone about your speech disorder without them getting actually mad at you, then that says to me that they're not ready for marriage. But chances are, you're overthin...

"Bear with me, y'all. I have a stutter." It helps me to just be up-front. ...

I used to tap my thumb to my forefinger for each syllable. That would help me slow down and maintain a steady pace. I also tell new people that I stutter. I have found this creates a calming atmosp...

Hey -- I'm a bit older than you (31), I've been married for a little over two years, and I'm a bona fide stutterer. ​ I've always had an innate feeling that I wanted to be with someone, ...

I'd say movies are still a thing, I don't wanna ruin our friendship because she's a really cool person just as a friend. So I'm kinda hesitant in making a move ...

You're already friends with her - the stutter is bothering you and not her. Do the two of you do anything outside of school together, common interests? It can be as easy as asking her if she wants to ...
