Not sure what country you're in. Lately I've been disclosing that I have a stutter that gets heightened in situations such as an interview. Depending on the culture around stuttering where you're loca...

Yeah I don't even try to tell jokes anymore. You can stop giving s fuck, and it makes it easier, but that doesn't fix what you talked about....

I'm also a student interning at the moment. My number one advice is to disclaim your stutter to the people you work with! When I don't disclaim I find that I try to hide it, which makes it worse. Iron...

I've tried everything. I've accepted I stutter so it doesnt really gets me down anymore and I can control it quite well if I really have to. thanks for the advice tho...

I used to work at a warehouse where one part of my job was to make a few calls on a daily basis. One of the calls was to FedEx, to let them know I had packages waited to get picked up. I've had peopl...

Same shit bro, I cant smoke weed because of this. And its really funny how same we are lol. The thing about the confidence that you wrote is same actually. This will sound silly but the better drip I ...

It's crazy that you just posted this; I just told myself that I would never feel ashamed of my speech again. I mean, it really isn't our faults. In my case, it's something I've had since I could strin...

God this is such an ironic situation, I literally have to sit with my friends and explain to them ha ha Yeah I don't do it either because they saw me from birth ha ha and there's literally a vhs tape...

This is a crossroads many covert stutterers reach. It is also something a qualified speech therapist can definitely help with. If affording speech therapy is an issue, check with your universities spe...

In my experience, most people actually feel uncomfortable talking about it. They do realize that something is "wrong" but asking: "Hey, do you stutter or what?" is something they think it might not be...

Covert stuttering at the price of not making sense

Covert stuttering at the price of not making sense Most of the friends I made after high school have no idea I stutter, I have a moderate (to sometimes severe) stutter but with years of developing tri...

>absolutely nobody is going to be thinking how I stumbled over that word since everybody is focusing on themselves People generally don't hyperfocus on other people as much as people hyperfocus on...

I sell furniture exclusively over the phone. I find people are mostly patient when I stutter. Something that helps me is that I'm an expert at my products and every word I say is valuable to the cus...

I feel your pain! I worked at a call center for a few years and that was extremely hard and almost quit a few times (plenty of rude customers asking why they would hire someone with a stutter...). I w...

I didn't really talk about it until after college. Even with my sibling who stutters, just kind of tried to ignore it. Mostly because it's a bit awkward. Even then I don't go into how it's affected me...

I'm 21. Until a couple of years ago, I was very conscious of my stutter. I was scared to speak up and all. Two years ago, I finally opened up and spoke to my sister. I told her everything, how I feel...

Yeah sure, loads. I think most all the people I spend a big amount of time with (including work) have at some point or other heard about it. Some I've had a longer chat with than others, of course, bu...

I'm sorry to hear you were bullied for your stutter. That absolutely sucks. I wonder if by never speaking about it with friends I've created a boundary as a no-go subject. Maybe I'll start bringing i...

I'm 32 now, and I didn't really talk about it throughout all of middle and high school. I was active in class and decently social. College is when it became a major complex as I began to be made fun o...

Do you talk to the people in your life about your stutter?

Do you talk to the people in your life about your stutter? I have stuttered all my life but I've never really spoken to anyone about it. I think this is because it was always treated as something that...
