Are you pushing for speech therapy or is he? By saying it hurts you to hear your brother stutter, I think you never got over yours. Remember, your instincts could go overboard and turn a small prob...

If he were comfortable with his speech I would be okay with it- honestly. My brother is okay with his stutter to this day and while it may hurt me to hear it- Im grateful he’s at peace with it. My so...

When I was young, I expected my stutter to go away at some point. When I realized this was a lifelong condition I was about your age in high school. I also got very depressed and was actually institut...

It was pretty bad to be honest. To set the scene, I stutter the most when speaking in Chinese although I can speak fluently when I'm alone, it has caused me to get bad grades because the teacher think...

started well enough. Then I got a call from my boss to discuss some important stuff and I could barely make it through without blocking on every word. It was incomprehensible and utterly humiliating. ...

Thanks for the clarification! Yeah that’s what I was trying to get at! I’m very very accepting of my stutter by now that it isn’t so restricting to me, but I have felt exactly what you described and i...

Sorry, I was not implying that at all, I was just agreeing with your point that everyone thinks they stutter just because they may get tounge tied while public speaking, it reduces stuttering to "no b...

This is just tripping over your words or getting tounge tied, it is not a stutter, you do not fear every social interaction every single day of your life, please don't pretend you know what it's like,...

Yep, sometimes there are no alternatives, especially when you are asked to choose something, you are forced to say one or the other. I remember a bad experience in Rome, I was having tea and coffee wi...

It’s not so much that I’m embarrassed about stuttering, but more so that I don’t want to let my teammate down because we ran out of time. ...

My stuttering is never going away, is it?

My stuttering is never going away, is it? I'm a 16 year old girl that has stuttered really badly since the age of 11. I never had any kind of speech impairment before, it came out of the blue . I've b...

I don't know if this is the best advice, but I think its a bad idea to try to hide or mask your eccentricities when it comes to stuttering. I've been stuttering my whole life and it hasn't been much...

I hate this too. It's a common thing to hear "don't finish their sentences" on educational materials about how to make people who stutter feel welcome, so I wish more people were educated about our di...

Thanks for sharing. (i pasted the two questions she answered on stuttering below) Q: Was it hard to connect with other students? You were just a kid then. I didn’t have friends, but I don’t think i...

When I was younger, I once said "guess, not gonna tell you." And once there was a new teacher, and she let the whole class introduce themselves, I was the last one because I kept my head low. I first...

You nailed it. I used to purposely arrive late to meetings so I didn't have to participate in the introductions. My name starts with a hard "T" and thats my most difficult sound to make, so it's alway...

I honestly wish i could give you an answer or solution but I am in the same boat. I wanted to become a journalist when I was young but my dream was crushed when I figured out I had poor communication ...

I can relate. I don’t have much to offer, but I have definitely felt those feelings of being so inhibited by my stutter. So many things I wish I could do...

I usually don’t outright tell people I stutter. Most people realize I do in the first few minutes of talking to me. Most of them at first look at me weird or laugh a little because they think I’m joki...

I can get away with not telling people I have a stutter as its super mild most of the time. Most people who notice it and tell me, say its barely noticeable and they only know because of consistencies...
