What are you talking about? She's letting her stuttering show by not holding back. This is what speaking looks like when you stutter and don't use tricks. ...

Really? But that's exactly what she's trying to do... I'm just unsure whether to classify these habits of hers as parts of the stutter or not....

Everyone stutters differently, at different times, in different situations. When you're BSing, you're probably joking around, not worrying about speech as much or it's just an easier situation for you...

I would be careful with the mentality of having to "make up" in other departments. Like being the strongest or smartest to compensate for our stuttering. I've done it my whole life and i dont think it...

For me it was having no other option at work. I have to talk to people for a living and doing what I do involves talking to 30-35 different people a day with varying issues, not including co-workers. ...

I've been doing exactly this for the last two months. :) I'm very close to getting to the point where I don't care anymore. Just think of all the small things you want to do but don't because you s...

Do you stutter in your mind? The other day I was reading a book, I did not stutter. At one moment I started making up a situation in my mind and I started stuttering. The situation was reading out o...

So long as I'm not reading from the book, I do okay, so the only thing I was avoiding at all was direct reading. This was just a bit of a surprising moment for me, but a pleasant one. I was sure every...

That's pretty common. I find people will sometimes tell me they never knew I stuttered, they just thought I had a slightly odd way of speaking. I imagine it has something to do with that we are overl...
