I'm 26(M) and didn't start looking at my stutter positively until I was...about 23 and I'm annoyed I didn't start sooner but it's amazing the amount of pressure is lifted when you honestly stop giving...

Reminds me of times when someone also said that he doesn't mind my stuttering. Knowledge wise I know that it isn't such a big deal, but when the situation comes... well, you know....

If you can ever afford it, go to a NSA conference one year. It's awesome meeting so many other stutterers. ...

And just what prey tell does the national stuttering foundation do for ANYONE who stutters? I cant think of a more anemic, useless charity. Keep your money and treat yourself to a drink every now and...

The same, but I had a friend who would never let go coz she knew I had something to say, luckily for me she was very patient and would even wait in silence till I decide to try again, she was nice!...

It sucks. No way around it. Are you in an area that has National Stuttering Association? You are not alone and sometimes meeting people who stutter gives hope. ...

I’m so sorry. I’m not sure how stuttering occurs but I know that it’s different for everyone. I would suggest seeing a speech therapist. Also, you must not be hard on yourself. Don’t make it seem like...

I've had a rough past few weeks lately as well. Speaking with family, work and friends. I don't know why. Keep your head up high. We're all here for you. ...

Find a stuttering or depression support group. You'll instantly have other people who can relate to what you're going through. It can be rarely scary deciding to open up to other people, but you can f...

Thanks for the replies, I'm feeling better about it now and I'll do my best not to worry about it 😊...

Maybe, maybe not. What if they're laughing about your hair? Try to view stuff like behind the back gossip as just that. I do the same thing, I think 'we' tend to put MUCH more focus on other people'...

I'm concerned you're in a bad family situation if they know you have a stutter and still moan when you try to talk. That's incredibly rude and hurtful. Find yourself a support group, a lot of colleges...

No matter what you do -- stutter, no stutter, breathe funny, look funny, smell funny, dress funny -- people will be people and will sometimes talk. Those that feel so little of themselves that they ne...

I have to agree with the other commenters. There’s no doubt some people who are going to laugh at your stutter. That idea used to really bother me too, but you have to remind yourself that in the gr...

Absolutely. A former co-worker could not do his Rs and another co-worker made fun of him behind his back, ergo, she makes fun of me. Do I care? I am 47 so nope!...

People can do all sorts of things behind your back regardless of whether you're a stutter or not. Or they can not do anything at all. There's really no point in worrying about that sort of thing. :)...

I wouldn’t worry. People have better things to do than make fun of another persons speech problem (Sorry if I sound like I’m being a jerk I’m not trying to xD)....

It is! But the thing is that people don't care about your stutter nearly as much as you do. We work it up in our heads that we carry the weight of the world with us through our stutter, but others don...

Congrats mate. Recently started a new job too. Both boss and colleagues have been awesome about my stutter (aka not mentioning it at all)!...

Some people who stutter and can keep a healthy outlook on life can be fairly strong in empathy, patience and listening. These are valuable skills and good employees know that having lots of perspecti...
