I had the good fortune of making friends who weren't uncomfortable or awkward about my stutter, which helped a lot. Still, it's a constant battle. I look for small victories throughout the day to feel...

I wasn't sure from the post if the stress and tension was being caused by the stuttering or something else. I would suggest you be there for each other. Keep communicating with each other. Even if he ...

Think about why you are embarrassed about your stuttering. Think about what you are afraid of? Why? Reason it out in your head. Then talk with others, ask them how they feel about your stuttering. You...

I wish I was close enough with my dad to have a healthy joke about my stutter....

"How are you?" is always a good starter to see how chatty people are feeling. Asking questions and taking an interest in people's lives is always a good way to build rapport with people in general. I...

Hey there! I'll just tell you about some of the interactions I've had with my wife recently, I think it relates a lot to your post. So, I'm a stutterer, 30 years old. Similar to your boyfriend, I too...

Oh my. Similar story but my parents would never say anything like that. I’m so sorry. I would just stay away from them. They only bring negativity to you. ...

welcome! we're glad to have you! Check out the upcoming events in the side bar. If you're in the US there may be a conference nearby where you can meet other people who stutter in the flesh!!...

I've been extremely lucky. I was never bullied, I had fantastic speech therapists, I have never viewed having a stutter as being a negative thing. Yeah, its frustrating, it's inconvenient sometimes, b...

Of course I read your post. :) I was just curious about the details. Some of it could be managed on your own side, and some of it may even be possible to change in others....

I just found this subreddit, and I already love it.
