I went to a high school reunion a looong time ago. My stuttering peaked in secondary school and as I’ve aged it’s become a less disabling thing unless I’m out of my wits. The women who approached me ...

When I was younger and when I went to speech therapy yes, but now they won't mention anything unless I do. It's such a big insecurity of mine that I feel awkward talking to anyone about it. ...

I'm the same. I spent most of my school days sitting quietly at the back of the room, trying to not get noticed. Now I'm an adult, I often try to push myself out of my comfort zone and I'm better off ...

don't normally do this but clicked on your profile and saw you're a waiter - awesome job! i got thrown into a journalism career at 19 and it was the gauntlet i needed to get over stuttering and learn ...

A person who stutters can always ask the server, What's best here? Or, What do you recommend? It helps in two ways: You know what you're going to say, therefore, usually producing less stuttering. And...

I know what you are feeling, because i tend to do the same. I'm 22, been hiding my stutter for years. It's not severe, but more than enough to bother me and affect my life in many ways. Over the ye...

Met in college..5 years later and she still has no idea I stutter LOL...

I don't have the courage to stutter

I don't have the courage to stutter Due to shitty situations in the past. Most of the time I'm holding my breath and try to speak fluently very forced. It doesn't really help at all and I still stutte...

Huh, I do this too. Makes me seem to be shy and quiet when in reality I just don't want my stammer to be noticed....

Covert stuttering

Covert stuttering Hi everyone I am what you could call a covert stutterer. In short this means I often hide my stutter by using different words or not even engaging in talking when I want to. End resu...

Under any circumstances, I rather put my face in to fecal matter than try to open my mouth to order....

These are super handy. Except sometimes I get nervous because my McDonalds has an employee stationed to watch you place your order so you don't mess up, so they're just staring at all of us. It's th...

Obligatory tried speech therapy for years with no results :/ I'm on abilify with the idea of helping the stutter but I don't think it's really working. I'm thinking about looking into tourette's medic...

Hey, let me return the favor and thank you for being one of the few who completely get it and even reaches out in support. It really helps! I do wish that stutter was treated as a disability. Not to ...

I think the key is being confident. If you confidently tell someone you have a stutter, it will make them comfortable because you're seemingly comfortable with it. If you don't mention it, or act emba...

We shouldn't really have to address it, but I find putting it all out there is really helpful for me. Some people like to make a joke about it, but I actually find just casually telling them is the be...

I concur with these two responses. I used to hide my stutter as well, and I started a few years back being open about it in interviews, and even putting in on applications. I recently applied for Tea...

I was thinking the same thing. I used to hide my stutter and people would treat me like I was crazy when it happened. When I started telling people I stuttered, it changed their perspective completely...

That's an interesting take. Being so new to it, I try to act as normal as possible, and nobody has even mentioned it (except for my current boss, out of concern since we're friendly). I didn't say an...

I'm really sorry to hear this. I know any oral part of an interview is a real struggle for all of us. It's really, really frustrating and upsetting to me that people immediately pass on us just becaus...
