There are always gonna be those who are jerks about it but you’d be surprised how many people are understanding of it. Big thing is to be upfront about it, you may have a stutter but your stutter doe...

It Ain’t no thing. Having a friend you’re comfortable talking to helps also. I don’t even remember when I stopped stuttering, one day I just noticed it. I still have really bad eye contact when I t...

It's been a slow process. I started being self-conscious about it around the age of 12 - 13, when my teacher made me recite poems of famous Italian authors in front of my classmates (I'm Italian). Nee...

Yeah, it wasn't only my stutter blocking me. Also my terrible eyesight without glasses. That's life...

Does your personality suffer when you're in a stuttering state?

Does your personality suffer when you're in a stuttering state? I used to honestly think that it wasnt possible to be happy when I stuttered.. Everytime I used to stutter it would absolutely deflate...

The toughest thing a stutterer can do is pretend they are perfect speakers. Sometimes we fail and get laughed at and that is what we have to deal with. Be positive. We can talk (sometimes) we can se...

I consider it mild because sometimes I'm fluent, or I manage to hide it very well by saying certain words instead of others. But other times it's harder and people can tell. I don't really repeat syll...

This was the worst part of my high school years. I actually skipped class on the first day of senior year to avoid having to introduce myself. Looking back now I should've gone and just dealt with it....

Sometimes I do really well and sometimes I get super massive blocks. I’ve been told many times they could not hire me because I lacked social fluency and skills. When I didn’t stutter, or at least tha...

Wow I was same until I just stopped speaking to my family all together because “stuttering” was always the topic. So no speaking meant no stuttering. If my dad asked me a question I’d say “sorry I’m...

I faked having to cold call people at a job. I spoke into the phone but never dialed the numbers...

I think at around age 17 I just completely stopped responding to people who acknowledged my stutter. If my dad asked me a question I’d just say “sorry I’m stuck on a word” he’d say “which one” and I’...

All of them. I've literally walked into a business intending to buy something, chickened out, went home to buy it online and then wait days for said item. Or rather than walk up to order food, do it v...

I have a stutter and tend to avoid words that I struggle with. I try to conceal it. It’s also evolved over time as I’ve tried to deal with it. I was never in speech therapy so I was on my own. I also ...

I kind of agree with both of you here. A stutter is hard to conceal, but the older we get the better (how many of us) get better at hiding it or simply not talking unless we have to....

I was on board with this post until I saw the comments about people with minor stutters or kids. But what really convinced me were the people saying it's because they hide it it made me think how I am...

Yes I am covert myself. I struggled my way through middle school, high school, and now college, avoiding speaking at all costs. When I do speak I hardly stutter so no one thinks I do. This is probably...

I personally am a covert stutterer so I don't really stutter I'm just good at hiding it (until ofcourse it eventually pokes its head out) so I have never really had a bad experience at work other then...

I've met a decent amount of them actually. 1 percent may be a tad high but if you listen to people talk closely you can tell they have a stutter even if they don't outright stutter. For example, prete...

The numbers tend to be closer to about 0.7% in more recent studies, but I think the issue here is that you’re looking for people who sound a certain way. It’s easy to see people who are amputees, from...
