I think... it's important to be open about these things instead of carrying them around. The contrast between the hidden and the surface is simply not a good thing to have to maintain. See if you can...

Well that's a question I ask myself often actually! I'd love to be more open about it but couldn't make the jump yet. Was even thinking of a tattoo on my handshaking-arm to just force it lol To be cle...

Oh, so you haven't told anyone? That doesn't sound healthy. You should be allowed to share such a thing! Why do you feel like you have to hide it?...

>It pretty much ruined my night. You should tell them that. If one of my friends of 10+ years did that to me I'd be pretty astonished and I'd want to talk to them. It's completely inappropriate, b...

Sometimes you just need to laugh stuff off. Lighten the mood. What if you had said, "that was a hard one" and laughed with your friends. Are you open about stuttering? Do you talk with your friends ab...

I use avoidance strategies too. It's not that I do this constantly, but everytime when I am under pressure it becomes more natural to substitute words. Maybe I judge my friend to much, because I am mo...

Telling people you have a stutter has actually helped me. I had to read something outloud today and I told my peer I had a stutter, and that made things so much easier....

It's good that you contacted your school's accessibility center. People need to be aware of stuttering and should be patient. I have been trying to disclose my stuttering to people, but it's been real...

what i meant is they didn't specifically tell them i had a stutter. They didn't mention my name. They will just tell them to be nicer to people who have stutters or other speech impediments. When they...

Yes? How is the change to be implemented? Is everyone just expected to remember that you have a stutter?...

Why not put a note down with your name, what you want to order and explain that you stutter?...

Open up about your stutter. It's hard, I know, been there, done that. But it's worth it! And there are situations and ppl I still try to hide my stutter. Or it takes a while till I have the guts to ...

Yes, my wife knows but she's the only person I have ever talked about it with other than health professionals. ...

Good on you for being open about it. I think of my stutter a screening device, and instead of trying to hide my stutter in the hope that people will like me, I say why not flip the whole paradigm on i...

You are absolutely correct about that! Many women won't like that type of spontaneous interaction, and one must have the tact to recognize the signs and cut the conversation short if it's not a mutual...

I recently joined a dating website. Some people say that you shouldn't disclose it until you're about to meet the person so it doesn't put them off but it's literally the second line on my profile. Ta...

My only comment is that many women don’t like to be approached on the street. I think the sentiment behind it was cool, but if people were rude, I’d venture that it had nothing to do with stuttering...

If you are ashamed of your stuttering and you want to hide it, try telling people what your problem is. It might reduce stress. People's reaction is not always the same as we picture. P.S. Many sever...

Best of luck for the upcoming presentation. Ive heard advertising your stutter makes it easy on both sides. You are not trying not to stutter and the audience understand and focus on what you have to ...

Do your teachers (and friends) know you stutter? Do they know what stutter is? Also, have you tried speech therapy (to help manage your stutter)?...
