As with most fears, this is a silly one. For one, you have no control or influence over a relative's fluency. It's not like you were the one to pass on those genetics, so your feelings of guilt or bla...

It is perfectly normal to feel the way you do. Do your friends know you stutter? Sometimes people just don't realize it although it seems obvious. Perhaps you can talk to a few of them about it, per...

Yep, not dying is always a good sign! Glad you feel good about it most of it though. and I feel like,, when we always stick to what we wrote, we don’t always sound as natural. ...

I got back two days ago and I am proud to say I didn't laugh even once. We talked about it with my friends and we just decided not to look at each other while he's talking and we kinda got used to it ...

I tried this with someone who I met and it worked out great! I found some friends who seem genuinely interested in what i have to say for which i am very grateful. One of them even has a severely stut...

So people should just guess whether their question has been asked before? If you don’t stutter, you probably won’t have any idea how common it is to be asked something like that. In my opinion, as l...

I can see how that question and those like it get old though. For every person to ask that question once, people who stutter frequently will be asked that question 50-100 times just based on the perce...

Lol how do people get the idea that your husband is violent based on him telling the kid how screwed up his mocking is? Your hubby sounds awesome. He did the right thing and I would have definitely f...

The biggest one for me is that everyone that I tell I have a stutter too says they also have one. No. They don’t. ...

After a presentation that you stuttered through, "you did well!" Idk if they mean well or if they're being condescending...

People saying “it’s ok!” Ah thank you I needed you to validate that my stutter was ok I am at peace now...

"My cousin/Uncle/brother/friend stutters" GTFO with that, I've met nearly no one what who stutters and you conveniently know people who do? I appreciate then wanting me to feel comfortable, but don't ...

Nitpicking.. I would phrase it as "everyone has dysfluencies to some level" - but you're right - it's not the same. An SLP student asked about an exercise for their class - pretending to stutter in p...

Different angle: Empathizing isn't an impossibility, and perspectivizing is a common conversational element. So actually, I think it can be genuine. We have to allow for the opportunity of others di...

>"It's okay, I stutter sometimes too" That's technically correct for most people. But I don't think it's conceived of in entirely the same way (and who knows if it's even due to the same factors)....

It just shows that there have zero understanding of what it is. A lot of people don't even know stuttering is a thing....

I don't really see anything wrong with asking if you stutter in your head. It's a question, people want to understand what you're going through....

Shit 'non-stutterers' say

Shit 'non-stutterers' say Fell free to comment any responses or questions you've encountered from people that don't stutter. I've listed a few that really grind my goddamn gears. "Just slow down" "...

>Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind As other's have said, it does get easier the older you get. I've found a high percentage of people are more interested in what I have ...

It is very easy to forget! I'm grateful for the reality checks I'm given every day I come to work. Thank you for reading. ...
