I commend you on working at a call center. The fact that you're willing to work somewhere like that despite the difficulties it represents says a lot about you. With that said, maybe this isn't the b...

If it really bothers you to stammer in front of patients, co-workers, etc, then you might want to ask yourself if you'd actually be comfortable working as a doctor. Then again, I'm studying engineeri...

Yeah, I interpret the idea of "it's all mental" as something one can control...somehow. Though few things are that simple. But stuttering is certainly not that simple. ...

I don't even know anymore it's just a lot of things combined with this whole stuttering thing doesn't help that I'm a cynical pessimistic cunt. lmao According to my dad I wasn't like this when I was ...

Been reading through everybody's answers. A wide variety of answers to say the least! There is one fundamental reason why I asked this question. I asked this because...the way you view yourself spea...

It simply cannot be cured, as hard as that is to hear its true. I'm 19 and have stuttered for as long as I can remember. My stutter is much worse in certain situations such as phone calls, ordering ...

I stutter but more social than my wife who doesn't stutter. I hate trivial conversation and find them annoying. Stuttering has made me into an introvert. However, I have to talk at work for my job so ...

In my eyes if you identify yourself as a PWS then you acknowledge/accept that you have a speech problem and the next step is working on it. I feel that many people do not accept/acknowledge that they ...

Basically this is a test, those who say yes will have a hard time in real life to get rid of stutter, those who say no are already ahead. >I remember thinking, many years ago, that if I didn't stu...

maybe i should commit suicide as well. I am currently an engineering major and i am half way done. It bothers me that i will take alot of classes next semester that require alot of communication for...

Yeah it really sucks, having to put extra effort to do what normal people take for granted. It's like a race where we start several kilometers behind the others but are expected to catch up to everyon...

As many people have pointed out here, you are experiencing a block. The speech mechanism is so delicate that the slightest stress can cause it to go berserk. Stutterers are already predisposed to havi...

agreed. This looks more for people who have regular social interaction, or maybe where interacting with other people is a part of their job, to sort of take a break. For those that struggle with it, i...

My SO usually orders at restaurants when we go out. She puts her name down at the wait list. She used to help fill in the blanks a lot. But I talked to her about it some time back. I told her that it'...

Something to play by ear and see what he thinks/how he reacts. It can be helpful at times but also hurt in the long run if the stutterer becomes more dependent on someone else speaking for him. Might...

Hey, I saw that response to you in the other sub that is all about how you should "talk to everyone," and find same interests so "conversation is easier." Of course, he didn't know that you stutter.....

My SO does this sometimes and while I don't mind it at times, I didn't really enjoy it done all the time. I realized that I became sorta dependent on her to speak for me. After a while my anxiety wh...

I wouldn't say it's worse. He stresses less and is much more comfortable with me so it's somewhat mild around just me now. But I can't help feeling like maybe me talking for him sometimes may hurt him...

I'd say that depends on how he feels about it. Maybe it's just a very welcome a relief. If he's getting worse in general, that's enough of a reason in itself to keep trying to improve, though....

Yeah, but if you're going to feature someone who stutters, you probably want to understand what "overcoming" generally means to people who stutter. It's about having less anxiety about how you are pe...
