In principle I don’t believe in apologizing for stuttering, but sometimes I do to break the tension… but I don’t really mean it as an apology, just like a way of kind of laughing at myself and taking ...

Yea I do unfortunately. It helps with the blocking of my words but I don’t mean to apologize. I guess it’s become a habit and even my therapist told me to stop apologizing since there’s nothing to apo...

I always do by instinct. the person i'm talking to always says i dont have to apologize. something i really need to work on admittedly......

I do apologize when I’m talking to someone I’m not very close to or I respect them, because it helps me to help the block. I also cough fakely to help me “start fresh” again....

Nice! My family refuses to order for me and think it’s because I need to break out of my comfort zone. I’m 24 years old and I can promise I’ve tried more things than they can even imagine. Yet they be...

Try explaining tha you can still do things yourself? I know it’s easier said that done. Or maybe just do things by yourself and let them see you do those acfitovites....

These are fantastic concepts. However they may be inaccessible to some, due to differences in halos our bodies handle stress. If that’s you, there are more tangible steps you can take Practice vol...

Same here! Since stuttering isnr really common, I love educating people about it rather than them just assuming that I'm stupid....

Personally I appreciate when people are straightforward and ask me about it instead of pretending it doesn't exist, it helps us communicate more effectively together....

To be clear, when I say "being total idiots" I am attributing it to incompetence rather than malice. I do think it's pretty stupid behaviour, though - not malicious, but still stupid. IMO being taken ...

So... fixing your self-esteem isn't a one and done thing. This will probably take a lot of work and effort from your side. If it's possible for you to see a therapist, that may be worth trying, althou...

How do you expect to educate people and change if you’re willing to allow them to treat you differently solely because you happen to stutter. If someone is disrespectful or if you feel slightly uncomf...

So sorry for this experience, I have had the same thing with saying my name, it got so bad I had to change my first name to something I could say, people just don’t understand, if I was you and you me...

Are you being represented? Let you counsel know and how you’d like to address it if it becomes an ‘issue’ mainly so they don’t say something dumb like speak slowly, or any other advice’ you don’t need...

Lean into your stutter at court. Turn a weakness into a strength. You might elicit a little sympathy, which could work in your favor....

I get this on the daily at my work, it literally makes me want to lose my shit. I work as customer service staff which involves handling a lot of money and unique tasks but they try to make ME feel li...

I just...talk to people the same way I talk to anyone else regardless of disability or conditions? If they aren't at the same conversation level as me i'll use simpler vocab to accommodate them but yo...

That’s too abrasive. You’re going to embarrass people and put them on the spot, which is going to make them want to run away. Don’t imply that they think you’re an idiot. Likely, they don’t. They are ...
