Hmm I thought about this for a while. Since your at a new place with all new people just rock that you have a stutter don't look like you are afraid to show it.Also when you tell people you have a st...

Coming from my own experiences on this one. Be honest with her about it. When you guys talk in skype or before. If she's cool it won't bother her and if she's not okay with it she's not somebody you...

You rock! Job interviewing IS work experience, in a sense, it's building up confidence and experience through the interview process. As a person who stutters, I can attest to this by saying it gets ea...

This! Even if OP were to change their name to something easier to say, in 6 months the stutter on their name will be back. It's all about practice. My name starts with "B" and i stutter on that soun...

If it was a cure, hell yeah I'd take it. But if it changed the past... not so sure. Y'know, butterfly effect and all that. Maybe my personality would be totally different. Maybe I wouldn't have dropp...

You wrote exactly what I had in mind but couldn't find the words to write out. What you said there reminds me of "A Message to a Stutter" by Joseph Sheehan. Although I do think that acceptance is nec...

I understand where you're coming from. Towards the end of high school up til college, I was just like you in that I avoided talking to anyone who didn't "know how to speak to me" (like very close frie...

Yes I would take it. Good or bad and the person it made me etc etc - I'd rather not have had it. ...

For the past 2 years i've been going out with my friends for almost every weekend, as i don't drink so i can get to be the sober driver. I have realised being social is everything. I'm not the type o...

Thats interesting. Is it because you know you can do better? Like you expect more of yourself? This is kind of the thing that gets me every time, I have the feeling that I sometimes do not show the ''...

Sure, i accept it in the sense that i don't care if people know if i stutter or not. But i don't want them to hear it. I can talk about my stutter, no problem. You actually heard my stutter, that's a...

This....all day long. I sometime watch people on TV who just 'speak'...and it fascinates me that someone can talk without a stammer, without thinking about every word they're about to say, without ...

Try not to overthink things. It's difficult I know and I still do it but try to be more open minded. The more you worry about every situation that you may stutter in, it will never change and maybe ge...

My advice is stop avoiding. Work on slowly becoming ok feeling shame (aka feeling like shit) and it will lessen. Then instead of avoiding you feel scared and shitty stuttering, you'll just stutter on ...

The only real thing that has helped me and had a lasting impact is when I made myself say exactly what I wanted to say, no word substitutions. If I stutter, so be it, I acknowledge it and move on with...

Same as anyone, really. There's nothing serious that separates a stutterer from anyone else. Stuttering has always been a far bigger deal to me than to other people in my life. I also thought I could...

Engineer here (currently unemployed but going on interviews). I think it is important to disclose that you stutter during the interview. Some people may not be aware of what is going on, and you disc...

I'm 39, stuttering since somewhere before I was 10 (can't quite remember, it's long ago). ;) Hm, I'm not sure that there's necessarily a "progress" with stutter. Like, in the acceptance of it, or wha...

I am a life long stutterer and have spent my adult life working in IT. I have worked on mission critical infrastructures and took place in rolling out code. Both involve heavy communication with other...

I'm the same way. The thing is to put spontaneity at a higher value than fluency. Saying what you want when you want becomes more important than saying what you want when you can. You'll stutter more,...
