To be honest, I've never spoken with someone so much as I spoke with myself. It's not because I stutter, but it helps me to really think deeply about things and to really work things out in my mind. i...

Exactly this! I’m also sorry to hear that man but mindfulness and self compassion goes a long way especially for us stutterers/anxious/depressed types of people. You have to allow yourself to feel all...

I stutter more around people I am comfortable with and already know I stutter. I worked on a retail sales floor for 3 years and can talk to strangers like it's nothin' but trying to tell my dad a funn...

It definitely helped me come out and stutter more freely. I work in a school and have a few fluency kids, which is cool because I can relate on another level with them. I still am avoidant but am much...

I stutter the most around people that I have openly stuttered with before. Whether it is because I don’t have the energy to employ my tradecraft to become the “unstuttering” me with those who already...

Are you basing your opinion on your own experience? Although stuttering can be situational, it is not necessarily caused by feelings of shyness or anxiety. As an example, I don't stutter because I'm...

That makes perfect sense. I hate it when people ask my name. It is always a 50/50 chance I will get the word out without anyone noticing my stutter. Whats worse is the times people notice the telltale...

Mine is not as bad as it used to be. Its barely noticeable. The one thing i notice i have most trouble saying is my name, every other wors i barely pay attention to. But if i had the opportunity to go...

I don't think there's misinformation per se. It might be a different in interpretation to what the OP is experiencing, but I was just giving my 2c on what it seemed like to me. The OP says he has av...

Hello! Speech Therapist here! There seems to be some misinformation. Covert vs Overt stuttering has absolutely nothing to do with the type of dysfluency. If a person who stutters is covert it mea...

I’m sure he knows.. if he’s really oblivious TELL HIM?! hiding things in a relationship isn’t good big or small and honestly stuttering is a small issue (coming from a stutter). Once you tell him he’l...

Just tell him. If you can't tell someone about your speech disorder without them getting actually mad at you, then that says to me that they're not ready for marriage. But chances are, you're overthin...

He knows. If it bothered him that you stutter he wouldn't be engaged to you. The issue here is you. Trying to hide something like this from your future husband is kinda weird. ...

Honestly yeah I would. I often watch videos of YouTubers playing games with their friends, and they're always making quips and the conversation just flows between them so well, makes me wish I could t...

I don't get too bothered by what people say about the stutter, I'm more bothered by the innate feeling of "that guy's nervous as hell" when I stutter. Ruins first impressions, especially with girls I'...

The stuttering doesn’t bother me as much as me being scared of what other people think about me (in general, not just the stuttering)....

Came here to say this. For some twisted fate reason, girls I've met have found it cute. But I'm so warped from being taunted about it as a kid that I found this fact difficult to accept so when a girl...

If you don't notice your self stutter it's not really your problem haha I wish I didn't notice mine. I sometimes don't notice when I'm talking with my friends or my wife. People that I know understand...

What really helps me is to not care. I’ve read somewhere that the more you care about your stutter and try to prevent it, the more you stutter. And vice versa. If you go in knowing that you may stutte...

I really appreciate the advice. These stuff always manage to get me nervous but I’ll try my best to relax. Oh and I’m 14. ...
