That’s one way 😋 The more suave way: I tend to stutter when I get nervous. Meeting you is definitely one of those times because I don’t want to screw it up. ...

What really makes them laugh is when they ask why and I tell them. My mom got really lonely one night and used a vibrater when she was pregnant with me. The look on their face is priceless ...

Man this post is just godtier haha I started lifting/bulking 9 weeks ago and it's been going great, but owning my stammer has been crucial to staying confident. I remember telling my girlfriend just ...

My psychiatrist told me to "vaccinate" a group of people (such as a class) by stuttering the first time you meet them, so they already know you stutter and will be mindful in the future when you do! ...

Maybe your stutter is a lot worse than mine, but I’ve never really had any issues with jobs because of it. I used to go for jobs that don’t really require speaking when I was younger (painter, various...

If she cares about you she cares about your stutter. Stuttering is a part of you that you can't really hide. I know it sounds frightening but I think you should talk to her about your stuttering. Try ...

I've never heard of those acronyms. Like people have talked about already in this thread, I do not use the word "stutterer." I say I'm a person who stutters because my stutter does not define who I am...

Its about context, in our NSA emails we use PWS. People Who Stutter or Person Who Stutters. Personally I do not say I am a stutterer, I say that I am a person who Stutters....

I appreciate where you’re covering from. You saying “i stutter” is definitely something i do, but that’s our choice. When talking about others i do it person first (ex person who stutters). I think th...

I've never been a big fan of the initialisms myself. I respect that people prefer them, and if someone wants me to use them in conversation with them, sure, I will. They just don't naturally fit into ...

> Something I've recently started doing in the last year or so is flat-out telling someone (be it on the phone, in person, on online dating profiles, whatever) that I stutter. Maddeningly enough, f...

No problem! Something I've recently started doing in the last year or so is flat-out *telling* someone (be it on the phone, in person, on online dating profiles, whatever) that I stutter. Maddeningly...

I do that all the time, especially job interviews. It's easier to address it right away. Otherwise people tend to think I'm a moron. Some do anyway, but I can't control that...

[I've made a post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/8kkw7j/my_strategy_ive_been_using_for_quite_some_time/) before about this a week ago and I think you should read it! tldr: I really like b...

I do that like 50% of the time and I really feel like it does help. I just feel like sometimes I can't really say it on certain occasions, because it would feel out of place....

I don't generally offer it pre-emptively, but I am very open about it. Honestly, it short circuits some of my anxiety. If you can grow to be comfortable discussing it, it can help to keep the great a...

You should try it out! Definitely experimenting with self-advertisement is a good thing to do. I usually do not self-advertise unless the person asks me about it, but I know people that do and they ...

Oh, yeah, I've done similar things sometimes. I think I said something like "I stutter, so if I make some weird sounds now and then, that's why" at one point. Doesn't need to be more than that - but i...

What exactly do you have in mind? I certainly don't mind informing people that I stutter, in case there's an occasion for it....

Has anyone tried being up front about your stutter?
