You are absolutely correct about that! Many women won't like that type of spontaneous interaction, and one must have the tact to recognize the signs and cut the conversation short if it's not a mutual...

My only comment is that many women don’t like to be approached on the street. I think the sentiment behind it was cool, but if people were rude, I’d venture that it had nothing to do with stuttering...

My story. Hard road to hapinness with stuttering

My story. Hard road to hapinness with stuttering Hi everyone! I am 23 years old. I want to share with you the story of my fight against stuttering. I have been stuttering since I was a little girl. T...

When people perform they often don't stutter. This isn't 'overcoming' stuttering, it's a strategy to mitigate it. Overcoming stuttering is about becoming comfortable and confident with your speech. U...

Not stuttering in front of my little brother?

Not stuttering in front of my little brother? So I’m a 15 year old stutterer, and I have tried many types of therapy. I recently found that when I am either alone, whether it be speaking to myself or...

hey dude, i know it's hard, trust me, i'm going through it now with my current job! what has helped me is just ... giving in, hah, if that makes sense. like i just say "okay, i stutter, so what?" mos...

i actually started re-reading this book recently. i think it's worth the read. i mean, first, it's free, and second, i don't really believe there is one singular therapy out there that unequivocally w...

I've been there too.

I've been there too. If you've ever felt that awful, gut-wrenching anxiety before a social event...I've been there too. If you've cancelled fun plans because you didn't want to deal with the embarras...

I know exactly how you feel. I've had issues in the past with attending classes during name introductions, and even though teachers suggested that they inform the class that I stuttered beforehand, or...

What if I'll get similar sentiments? What if people will laugh at me? What if they won't even want to go through with the interview. I just don't want to be treated differently or be given the job bc ...

Yes, there is an expectation to speak properly, but not fluently. I have done some interviews for internships. For my last internship my employer had to choose between me and 9 other candidates. We al...

Yes I read that so right now, I don't care if I speak fluently or not but there's an expectation to be fluent. Like how about in job or interviews? ...

I feel the same, it makes me super uncomfortable. I think it’s because I get that rare glimpse of what others see when I stutter. It’s at the core of why we stutter I suppose, embarrassment and a desi...

My story

My story Hello Reddit, If I decide to write this post here today it's obviously because I stutter and I need someone to lend an ear, here's my story and what bothers me : I've always stuttered, I don...

> I want to be outgoing -> easier to make more friends. Can't bc of my speech. Not accurate. Plenty of stutterers are outgoing and have a lot of friends, in many different cultures. You need to...

Explain to your boss that you're less likely to be fluent with that modified greeting. If you don't start the conversation about your stutter someone else will, and it might not actually include you....

In my job function, I can't stay quiet. So no, I wouldn't say that my stutter makes me quiet. It simply fails to be able to have that effect. I don't stay quiet in social situations either....

I'm not doubting your opinion, but lets say its neurological, wouldn't I also have trouble when speaking to myself out loud? I'm 100% fluent when no one is listening, but once I know that someone will...

Talking to yourself and to others are completely different for me, the former being 100% fluent. Talking to family I am more excited and maybe make less of an effort than when I am with a stranger. ...

Yeah I am the same way to when it comes to speaking with strangers after a while. I wasn’t necessarily ashamed of it during elementary school, but one I got to around 7th/8th grade, I just went about ...
