I think meeting or just seeing a person who stutters is a very uncommon experience because we are around 1% of the population plus some of us tend to not be very talkative or hide their stutter......

When just talking derails the conversation...

When just talking derails the conversation... 1. Group are talking about something you've got an opinion on 2. Spend time deliberating on whether to interject and whether it's worth it 3. Finall...

Dude it can’t be done. If it could, no one would stutter anymore....

There’s no fucking cure. I think you’re trying to persuade yourself that it can be fixed, but it CAN’T. Instead of trying to get rid of it, look for ways to control and master it....

This is a bad comparison, and incredibly misleading. Treating stuttering the way you suggest was *the* primary focus of speech therapy for decades. While nowadays, if you have a therapist worth their ...

Talking is talking. Stuttering is something else. Stuttering is a condition that affects talking. But yes, speech therapy can help with the stuttering. That's not just "getting good at talking", thou...

That's what I was thinking since it looks like a hearing aid, that I'd just explain it like that. Otherwise I'd have to explain the fine details of how it's supposed to work and it's not something I'd...

Congratulations and I'm glad for you! I hope you get the job! As a stutterer myself interviews have been hard for me as I tend to lose eye contact when I begin to stutter. I have an interview using Z...

My stutter isn’t too serious, but it really hinders my ability to fire back answers, deliver punchlines or start conversations, so I mostly just stay quiet. As far I can tell no one at work knows I st...

Hi OP, I'm curently in IT. Your 5th job kind of reinforces my belief that this field is mostly a toxic cesspool. My stuttering issue makes it difficult for me to explain things to both co-workers an...

Hmmm, it sounds like a mixed bag of results. Part good, part bad. I was thinking that since I thought it looked like a hearing aid, that I could just say I can't hear well out of that ear as an excuse...

It’s really good in groups too. I’m in a close-knitted choir and when we have group talks during free time i just like to listen cause they’re all talking at the same time. They still include me someh...

I've only met one or two stutterers during my life. Many people who have speech impediments are only afflicted by mild fluency problems in certain situations. I, on the other hand, have stuttered my e...

Well compare it to other ‘1%’ diseases like schizophrenia, you don’t really meet them that often because you know someone has an illness if u become really close. You never know, your friends may also...

It is true that 1% of adults stutter. You may not notice because they're either quiet or are good at hiding it....

I’ve had a stutter all my life but only those close to me actually know about it. Most people don’t even realise I have it, even if they’ve known me for years. Granted it’s not a severe case by any me...

Does Anybody else struggle with answering very obvious things (name, age etc)

Does Anybody else struggle with answering very obvious things (name, age etc) Hey Reddit, long-time stutterer here (heh), i just realized something, i stutter (block) the most in situations, wher...

Do you hide it completely during your day? That's not good. How about talking to your parents at first? I mean, in case they don't know. And then friends afterwards, I suppose....

Usually I don’t mention it.People can hear my stutter anyway😂...

A lot, I find that there are some things I can say normaly, and when I say those people think that I fake it other times....
