I absolutely hate this response. Get it all the time. You don’t have to have personal experience with something in order to be nice about it....

Oh yes and so many other stutterers I've talked to. We have so much in common that we're not as unique as we may have been lead on to believe. From all I've heard of others, I can relate to everythi...

Nah it works differently for me. I almost stop stuttering once surrounded by other stutters. Idk why this happens but I feel much better after that😂...

That makes me laugh tbh. They don't know the real struggle of choking on our own words and receiving those weird looks from others around us....

Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. It almost makes me feel bad but yeah them feeling more comfortable around us makes sense. I agree that it's cool either way....

That makes a lot of sense and could be the reason why. And I totally agree, it makes us feel less lonely. Thank you for your reply!...

I just get people who tell me “hahah yea I stutter too!” Because they stuttered once in 3rd grade while reading a book in front of class....

Tbh I feel so much better right now tysm. You're right. Literally noone notices even when I think it's really obvious, I'll be fine...

I thought I was the only one who noticed this . Completely fluent people start stuttering like crazy when they're around me . Either we're too cool and we leave our impression on them or they feel li...

Anyone else experiences non-stutters stuttering when you talk to them?

Anyone else experiences non-stutters stuttering when you talk to them? I have this co-worker who's fluent and has no speech impediments at all but when I (someone with a mild/average nervous stammer) ...

Honestly, this is amazing! I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes as I research and watch these successes. I am so happy for these people and their breakthroughs. I would imagine the community woul...

Man, I sure hope they are. I can imagine every one of us has been through such a scenario. That must have been hard, mate. I feel you....

Jesus - that must have felt terrible. If you can find a support group for stutterers you might find that helpful - I definitely did. The NSA website might have some lists you can consult. Just talk...

Honestly i'm the first to laugh at myself, in a positive way. I'm sure you did better than you think :) Thank you, i'll do my best for sure!...

just smile at them and don't interrupt what they say, but repeat things back at them sometimes! that always makes me feel like they're actually listening...

Congratulations for making it through and being confident in yourself. Myself, and I'm sure most people here, know exactly how you feel in just being excited that you finished. I believe my worst pres...

I have stuttered all my life. And thank you so much for asking this question. I agree with keeping eye contact. Also, the more relaxed the person I am speaking to is the more at ease I feel. Also,...

YES, even my presentation makes 30% of my grade i dont care. Even the result turns out may not match your expectation, dont be disappointed cuz at least you know that you try your best :) my classmate...

Focus more on other people. Be a really good listner. Give lots of compliments. People just want to be listened to. You'll then be less self conscious and relax a bit. Be up front about your stutter....
