I told my SO she has to mouth my vows with me so I don’t stutter that bad or at all. Lol...

Some people suck. You can try only explain your situation to them (not everyone understands what stuttering is) and hope they’re more reasonable in the future....

If it’s my family and close friends, it doesn’t bother me if the joke is aimed at me. I know they love me no matter if I stutter. The only time it bugs me is when they make fun of stuttering to other...

I went to happy hour with go workers, some of which I never met. Introductions and small talk can be a challenge, but I got through it....

I mean like I acknowledged it out loud that I stutter. People noticed, but everyone has been too polite to say anything (as a working adult). I was made fun of all the time as a kid and in HS....

What do you mean you “came out”? Do you stutter so little that people don’t notice? ...

I'd start with speech therapy and regular therapy. One to help you understand your stutter, the other to break the patterns of behavior that you want to change (like isolating yourself for fear of stu...

Yup, I used to try to hide it, but it would ALWAYS backfire. When we don't say we stutter, we act in a way that can be perceived as 'weird' and "confusing" by other people. As soon as they realize it...

Thanks for the link, that's a great idea, it gets the stuttering bit out of the way straight up and it's funny too...

Been there so many times, the key is to bring it up in the interactions ASAP. Here's how I do it personally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RevjMKA2Xkk&t=1s ...

You could also say it was something you did ("I stutter"). Or even something elaborate like "stutter happens to me sometimes". As for how these things are interpreted, and what they mean to our self-u...

"I stutter so I'll try to not keep us here overnight."....stealing this one for future use....

I would maybe consider just saying something like ”hello my name is ****** and sometimes I stutter” that way everyone knows what's going on and hopefully relieve some of the pressure you would be feel...

I just conquered my fear of speaking on the phone. It was the first time I did it in 8 years.

I just conquered my fear of speaking on the phone. It was the first time I did it in 8 years. My speech therapist recommended that i make one phone call this week and i decided that i was going to cal...

Stutter Positivity

Stutter Positivity I've posted on this sub a few times, but I'll introduce myself again. I'm a (now) 19 year old female who has been stuttering since the age of 2. I'm a musician (and quite the comedi...

Oh that’s really interesting. I guess anything is possible then haha. My biggest concern going into medical school with a stutter was “establishing rapport with patients.” Like, how can I maintain s...

Advertising copywriter. My job involves a lot of presenting (internally and to clients). I think stuttering has forced me to have a better vocabulary because I would often change my sentence to avoid ...

Yeah it definitely sucks! But, trust me it gets better. High school was hell for me as well. At least for me, now that I'm an adult 27 yrs old, I feel like once I accepted my faith and adapted an att...

not sure if this will help, but i think mine gets worse and then better. i don’t usually mention it unless it’s to a nice lady at a bar (mostly so she doesn’t think i’m hammered) but a therapist did a...
