My first time meeting other stutters was at a stuttering support group, and I felt bad because I couldn’t help but laugh. Not that I was laughing to be mean or anything, I was just laughing and can’t ...

Does his more-open stuttering make you feel uncomfortable? Maybe your laughing is just an automatic way you’re responding to something in him that you aren’t comfortable doing? This happened to a frie...

I always reccomend disclosing it. Most people don't really consider the fact that people with speech impediments exist. This catches people off guard, and they don't know how to react or think about i...

It definitely is. I guess I just wanted to vent just like most people here in this community. Thanks again for your all your support!...

I understand how it feels to be at the end of your rope and feel hopeless. It's hard to keep a positive perspective but our speech is one - a tiny sliver - of who we are. I'm here for you if you want ...

Very true. If they mention it with concious effort to help you then I suppose it's a good thing. But usually it's the wrong way of bringing it up because they don't have a personal experience of s...

Well. If you're stutter is consistent you notice it sticks out like a sore thumb. So when someone legitimately has a stutter like you do it's so obvious lol In a way they're not lying. People have te...

That is awesome! I’ve only met a few other people who stutter irl and it was from attending a NSA meeting at my local chapter, but in my previous job there was a deaf guy (a few years older than me) a...

Interesting - I wish they had talked to me about it. I suppose it also depends on what is actually said tho....

My parents also stutter and when I was a kid they fought more, but over time I got more open and they responded well, eventually we talked about and they talked about their experiences when they were ...

Something like that happened me recently. I don’t talk much in college so only my ‘friend group’ knows I stutter. One day I was asked a question in class and I stuttered. Afterwards a guy came up to...

It took me a long time to come to terms with my stuttering but once I did, it’s been mostly gravy. Just talking about it makes it more manageable, emotionally....

The very best response to my stuttering I've ever had

The very best response to my stuttering I've ever had I'm becoming a regular at this coffee shop. Ordering is probably when my stutter is at its worst, so the baristas are quite familiar with it. Tod...

I'm 26, and the anxiety hasn't gone away completely, but it's a lot better than it was when I was younger. I think the more we allow ourselves to stutter, and just let it happen, the easier and easier...

Exactly!!! It almost feels like a betrayal because “wait... you’re supposed to accept me for who I am! All this time you’ve wanted me to change?” I take it way personally. And like I said, I *know* th...

Criticizing yourself is one thing; hearing criticism from someone else is totally different. This is pretty much true for any trait you could name. Like, I might think my nose looks ugly. I might eve...

Today brought hope.

Today brought hope. Hello r/stutter, Today something major happened to me and to most it would be a very minor thing, but to me it was huge. I went to a banquet held for my Aunt’s school district. T...

Dude I feel you on so many levels, but please don't give up. The worst part about this is that we usually don't have anyone around us with the same problem we can relate to (at least it was like this ...

I am very sorry to read that you are going through this, I can truly empathize with what you are feeling. One thought, have you looked to see if there is a local NSA support group near you? [https:/...

I feel you so much OP. I feel the exact same way and people have no idea how much it affects me. We have to stay strong...
