Does it half to be someone I know personally? If not, as a kid, for some reason, it was James Earl Jones. Knowing he was so famous for his voice but had a stutter really gave me hope for the future....

This is definitely a tough situation for me as well. Are these people who know that you stutter, or who you've openly spoken about stuttering with? I realize this isn't always possible, but explainin...

Homie. Where do you live? If the answer is in America I would suggest looking up if there is an NSA (national stuttering association) chapter around you. I live in Raleigh and recently started going...

You're being grump tbh. People tell me to "breathe" a lot haha. I could get offended I suppose, but what's the use in that. You should on the where the message is coming from and not the words with...

Unsolicited Comfort

Unsolicited Comfort I want to know the stuttering community's thoughts on this situation. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to a friend and I stuttered. This was not the first time I stuttered aro...

Kudos to you for being proactive and thoughtful on how to best connect with him. Patience is key - as regGeo said below, don't finish his sentences (even when done by the most well-intentioned perso...

Thanks for your response! This is exactly the rationalization my professor gave us when assigning the project but it does make me feel better hearing it again :)...

I don't think it would be very offensive. The assignment as you describe sounds anything but offensive. Good luck and I'm sure you'll do great! :)...

Just let him talk. And if it feel comfortable between you, then you can mention it. But maybe that's more of a feeling if he would appreciate it. ...

Just be patient, i would'nt like to have someone that i did'nt know so well discussing my stutterig with me....

Man, that's so awesome to hear. This anonymous stranger of you and I hope you're proud of yourself! I'm glad that you got to experience and really accept that people honestly do not care much at all t...

Today and this past week has been rough for me as well. So coming here and seeing all these responses provides a sense of relief, if just for a fleeting moment. ...

Looking for someone to talk about it. A friend, this page, fb pages about stuttering. And thinking 'you're not alone!' And I read about 'stuttertalk.com' I also listen to it now and then. They have ...

At my work, we all do stutter, even the boss... it's a party here everyday....

Firstly I remind myself that this will pass. I didn't do anything when I have "good" times and I didn't do anything when I have "tough" times either. So I try to ride it out as easily as I can. I list...

As a stutterer, how do you stay and remain positive, especially during the "tough" times?

As a stutterer, how do you stay and remain positive, especially during the "tough" times? I'd like to know how you guys stay positive during tough times, especially when you feel you have no one to ta...
