I’m sorry your boss told you to work on fixing your stutter. It’s equivalent to asking a shorter employee to “Work on growing a bit” or an older employee to “Work on looking younger”....

In my experience, college is nothing like high school. High school kids are all jerks. People in college are much more empathetic. The thing that worked for me pretty well was, right in the beginning ...

Ha I have the same thing with my family. I just say it’s not a sure way to fix everything, and just ignore them. They mean well but… can go over the top....

Thanks to everyone! Your advise will be really helpful! I asked this because i didnt want to asume things, asuming always goes wrong....

It is oddly specific to want some partner that stutter, not in bad sense, but in case you have the chance to be in that situation. I as a person who stutter I loved when my partner just ignored that s...

In addition to what everyone else has said, don't give "helpful advice". We appreciate that you're just trying to help, but honestly if there was a simple fix such as "try not to think about it", don'...

Don't tell her to calm down or anything like that. It doesn't help. There is a strong chance that once she feels more comfortable around you she will stutter less. That is how mine has always been....

be active in conversations and show that you are engaged and always listening when she's talking. don't try to finish her sentences or cut her off saying that you know what she's trying to say. hav...

Be patient and don’t finish her sentences. Stay relaxed and have fun even if she has a strong block. Look into her eyes even when she stutters. If she starts opening up about stuttering don’t downpla...

The fact that you’re asking these questions and making the effort to make sure she’s comfortable means you are doing just fine. Being gentle and patient is the best thing you can do....

I think that's very useful input! It really underpins that it varies massively. There's almost no universal rule on what stutters like, and often people will take polar opposites. For OP, there's a...

That’s exactly right! What’s important is that you get your message across as you’ve said. I really admire you for what you’re doing so thank you!...

“I guess I'm doing something right.” Hell yeah you are. And you’re a doctor, you’re automatically badass. Being a doctor by itself must be really exhausting sometimes let alone with a stutter so than...

Your words spoke to me because it sounds exactly like the things I repeat in my head. I’m 21 too and also have a severe stutter. Im struggling through the horrible soul crunch that is looking for a jo...

I just took intro to communications and it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Trust me people don’t care as much as we think they do. You got this...

Oh its really sad to hear this. First of all I'd say that I'm a stutterer since my childhood but i managed to make some really good friends somehow. Maybe you should be just good to them and just be...

Heck, i don't even know you, and i already like and accept you. 🤗 Ok, cheer up joke...why ***didn't*** the chicken cross the road? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Because there was a **KFC** on the other side. 😂...

I’ve been there too You are not alone My speech is a little better now but I worked hard at it everyday My confidence is a little better now If u ever feel alone and need somebody to hear u out I’m...

A word to you all from me

A word to you all from me Hi, I am (well, it's probably obvious) a stutterer, it sometimes becomes so bad I literally \*lag\* on thoughts. Yes. Thoughts. I see the humor in it. XD \## anyway to th...

This is a big assumption to make with just the information given lmao. I’m 25, I’ve stuttered since 2nd grade, I just got my Masters in May, I’m getting cold-calls from companies about job opportuniti...
