Do people look at u like you’re slow when u stutter? Even speech therapists? I work in healthcare and although I hide my stutter I do tend to slip up once in a while and whenever it happens people loo...

First of all, it's really great you're asking this question! I would say not to finish what he's trying to say - unless he asks you to. Maybe he will say at one point "you know what I mean" or "that ...

Let’s be honest now, Biden no longer stutters. You can also look up Obama and Bush stuttering compilation on YouTube but are they also stutterers? Are John Stossel and Emily Blunt stutterers? Are Bruc...

Television Hey hey, I'm back. I've recently been contacted by a TV studio asking me to participate on a TV show about teenagers and weight loss. However, I'm not sure if I'm confident due to my spee...

I’m usually pretty quiet on groups of people I’m not 100% comfortable w and they probably see me as quiet and socially awkward when I just don’t want to stutter in front of them...

Sorry; soap box speech here. Please don't cancel as a result of the stutter. It may ease the anxiety in the short-term, but you may have regrets. Think of how this job will set you up on your resume...

Have a job interview Wednesday... Thinking about canceling

I always sat at the corner of the table, so the waiter/waitress could stand next to me and I didn't have to speak to loud. That always gave me confidence. Somehow I can order food now, no matter wher...

Honestly, for me Iv found confidence is the best remedy. Iv had a roller coaster life and when things are bad my stutter intensifies like I’m 5 again but whent things are going good and I’m happy I ra...

If I'm with my wife, we'll discuss my order before, and if I have an issue I'll pretend like I forgot and she'll jump in with "weren't you gonna get" to bail me out. If I'm alone I'll still pretend li...

When it comes to fast food or take-out, I'll sometimes write down what I want and show it to the person I'm ordering from. Today I did that and the lady said it was easier that way, anyway (I was plac...

Ah I'm in the US and started college this past fall. I think my advice would be to do as much as you can to gain confidence. This mostly means talking social risks such as talking to new people, going...

>if I were to force myself to speak, there would be a very high chance I would stutter. Sounds like you identified the crux of it. Stay quiet and don't stutter or speak and do. ...

Well for me, I cope with my stutter with friends by making self deprecating jokes. You don't know where someone's boundaries lie. They'll probably think I'm making fun of them. Or they may not even be...

I don’t really approach them. I mean if we happen to have a convo I don’t bring up that I also stutter (I’m a covert stutterer so if you didn’t know I stuttered you probably wouldn’t know). I just spe...
