Honestly no. I was in accelerated classes as early as elementary school and graduated with a 4.9 GPA. I do think they could’ve been more strict about letting me get out of presentations. Their hearts ...

Me Yes I stutter, but only because my mouth can't keep up with my brain. Oh, and Games. Lots and lots of Games!...

I am a music entertainment manager who has to speak to people everyday in meetings, studio sessions, and over the phone. I compare it to driving and sliding on an ice patch. You have to turn into the ...

Hii I’m sorry this happened to you! I’ve been in customer service with a stutter for 8 years but how do I move to management if I can’t even use a tannoy to make announcements it’s awful! FairPlay to ...

Who are you to say I do not struggle with the intensity of stutter where people say my name wrong and I don’t think it’s worth it to give them the right pronunciation and give up and say nothing, I ha...

Well said. I joined the military and picked a job that was customer centric. Definitely a mistake at first but it helped turn my mild/medium stutter to mild. Only way to get better is talking. I didn’...

Thanks for your input. You are lucky that you do not struggle with the intensity of stutter where you end up giving a false name just give up and say nothing! Having occasional repetitions of blo...

Thank you. I've had this issue on and off since age 4-5, and then constantly from age 7 (genetic and chronic anxiety), with almost all words, including my name. I had speech therapy but it didn't hel...

There will be always a lot of “IFs” and don’t think that the stuttering is the only reason to not achieve your dreams. I realized that a lot of people have a lot of blocks even if they’re not stutteri...

I have a buddy in college that would make up nicknames for himself cause he couldn’t say the letter “I” without stuttering and it worked like a charm. Make up another nickname for yourself....
