I didn't like discussing it for the longest time but I've worked through it. Now I make it clear that I'm open to questions about it and that I'm ok with repeating myself when necessary. Personally ...

Does educating others about stuttering come at a cost?

Does educating others about stuttering come at a cost? Recently I've found less motivation to talk to other people about my stuttering. As a background, I frequently self-disclose to others that I stu...

ahh i get it. Actually you're right. I told my RA about my stutter and maybe she told them......

"I have a neurological problem" - Explaining my stutter to other people

"I have a neurological problem" - Explaining my stutter to other people I've started to be a bit more open about my stutter. For example, when it happens in front of my coworkers, I make an effort to ...

I did the advice people had been telling me my whole life. I just did it. I pushed myself beyond what i was comfortable with. I went to my interview covered in sweat and clamy palms. I started off wit...

How I kinda cured/accepted my stutter

How I kinda cured/accepted my stutter Hi guys, I've stumbled upon this subreddit not too long ago. I've been stuttering since I was 11. 23 now. It would always restrict me of doing things or talking...

Confession: Sometimes if I'm in a busy restaurant or store & the person behind the counter is being rude and impatient (or was mean to the person before me) I stutter more on purpose 😈

Mainly I would have wanted that teacher to know that I had a stutter beforehand. I can't hate on him for asking me my name because it's such a simple question that people ask each other all the time. ...

I really appreciate you asking this question. As a PWS I find it really difficult to say my name and the way people react to it can really have an effect on me (good or bad). I think that the most h...

What should I say

What should I say When I first meet you and I know you are a PWS? A lot of people block on their names and I know this so I want to dance around the name question. I had a situation recently and I ...

I quit being so tough on myself. I mean it's not like it's my fault- and people generally understand that. One of the biggest changes I made was just being open about it. In high school I didn't speak...

I do and it does, but I am looking for more places to practice so I can get comfortable stuttering openly over the phone....

If it helps, I was in a similar situation. I wanted to speak to a girl but was worried about my stutter. The first time I spoke to her I had problems getting my words out, but I somehow got through it...

That might feel weird, but it's SO much better than sort of pretending it's not there. It will break the ice. And the way you write it here is funny. Unless she's super self-conscious or has no sen...

Yes, thats exactly what you need to tell her, how you feel about the conversation and ask her these questions. It may be weird but it's better than feeling bad all the time when you talk with her. For...

Do you have the “I stutter” card from the National Stuttering Foundation?...

Its hard. Most people (or, most adults) who laugh at stuttering do so because they are uncomfortable. Its not a reflection of you, its a reflection of them - and their discomfort. They dont underst...

I talk to a lot of people about my stutter. There's a lot to talk about (or a little, if you want to be brief). You should talk to your familiy about it. Start small if you're nervous....

Could you talk to her about it? Maybe she doesn't understand what stutter is....

This sure makes sense to me haha. Thank you for your response. One thing that I have only recently come to terms with is, like you mention, that my impediment will never completely go away and I need ...
