I'm a dude. I've gotten the "your stutter is cute" one time. Guess it's better than never. Good job on your managing and coping with it. I do the same as you. I joke about it a lot, I embrace it. I...

The talk itself was nice, I'm not refuting that. But if you want more depth than the surface ideas presented you really should look into the author and the research she has done. I say "surface idea...

I can across this Ted Talk on Vulnerability and it made me think about how as a stutterer, I'm always vulnerable when I begin talking. I'd love to see what you all think also.

I am going to echo some of the other sentiments I've read so far. The best thing you can do for yourself is to do presentation work. No matter what job you have you will need to communicate verball...

The worst thing you can do is avoid it. My major had 3 oral requirements that had me do presentations constantly. I just got up and did them after tirelessly practicing. I had to do 10+ minute cas...

It’s like we let our guard down with our family, I’m not trying to impress them with my coping skills, I’m being my truest self and thats me being a stutterer. ...

Hey, do you tell the new people you stutter? I know if you don't do that it can feel impossible. But for many people it is part of a way out of the hiding and avoidance and dread that you're talking...

Thank you for your insight. Sounds like you are doing very well! That's awesome. Being open about that would probably help me too. I often tell myself to now introduce myself as a stutterer to all ne...

I did one at end of bachelors, end of masters and now frequently during my PhD. People know I stutter but it isn't that bad in general (have bad days though). For my bachelor's I didn't mention it to ...

I think... it's important to be open about these things instead of carrying them around. The contrast between the hidden and the surface is simply not a good thing to have to maintain. See if you can...

Well that's a question I ask myself often actually! I'd love to be more open about it but couldn't make the jump yet. Was even thinking of a tattoo on my handshaking-arm to just force it lol To be cle...

Oh, so you haven't told anyone? That doesn't sound healthy. You should be allowed to share such a thing! Why do you feel like you have to hide it?...

Maybe kind of. I think it's more about the exposition of my stutter though...

I've met other stutterers over the years, but as a very covert stutterer, I never said anything to them. When I was younger I'll confess that I felt quite shamed and alarmed to encounter another stutt...

Focus on the moment and what you want to say. Don't get caught up in trying to speak fluently and carry a conversation. What you just said - however you said it - is already said. Don't fear failing t...

Open up about your stutter. It's hard, I know, been there, done that. But it's worth it! And there are situations and ppl I still try to hide my stutter. Or it takes a while till I have the guts to ...

I agree with u/nukefudge. It sounds bat shit crazy but actually letting my stutter manifest helped me to stutter more easily/less forcibly/shorter. I think hiding or not letting any form of stuttering...

College student and SLP undergraduate here that stutters. As many you've probably experienced, the classroom can definitely be one of the hardest environments for us. Recently, I had to introduce myse...

Worked in journalism as a reporter/editor for six years and recently moved to magazine editor. Reporting was running through the gauntlet at first as a stutterer, but I also credit being thrown into t...

I'm very glad you decided to stay in the class! I have an issue particularly with blocking in classroom settings. I have always avoided taking classes that require a lot of speaking in front of the wh...
