"I am not an idiot, I can help you, so you can just talk normally. I just have a stutter."...

by telling them that you stutter. sometimes people do that because they don’t understand what’s happening....

Stuttering is rare, so it’s understandable that they are surprised; but treating you differently is inappropriate. Maybe a response like, “there’s nothing wrong with me; I stutter.”...

Yes, definitely, but what I really meant was that you should try to talk to that person some time and stutter more freely. I've had similar experiences as you and that person was rude/indifferent to m...

That's true, but it is universally considered rude to not acknowledge the person who went out of their way to do something kind for you. I do agree that their main goal shouldn't be to get a thanks th...

Thanks for the advice, I was actually so focused on the words thank you that I forgot about nodding my head in the heat of the moment. The brain is a really complex thing we you think about it....

I totally understand. I allow others to push every boundary because I can't speak up to object. I just avoid confrontation because its easier not to speak up to even ask for my needs to be met either...

He probably didn’t notice. If he did I’m sure he doesn’t remember. Have you ever held the door open for someone and not received a thank you? Happens to me all the time. I don’t keep a mental tally of...

I would do exactly as the other comments state and also consider stuttering in front of that person so that they know what's up!...

Honestly, you know what I think, don’t do something kind to get something back from others, sure a thank you is nice, but don’t do something just for something....

Stuttering is not your fault. You know on the inside that you meant to say thank you. If he’s pissed off, it’s his problem. Forgive yourself, you tried....

I also had those people in my life and I just cut them off, I don't want to say it but you should also....

Do what you feel in necessary for you. I think it would be beneficial to you to let your roommates know you're working on yourself. They'll gain more respect for you that way as they may see you being...

Whatever feels comfortable to you, but from my pov outside looking in, you shouldnt be roomates with people who are gonna judge or be annoyed at you for learning how to speak fluently and/or tips to h...

Good habit. Introduce yourself and advise you have a speech impediment at the beginning of the interview. Look them in the eye, offer it with your introduction and say "so just be patient with me if...

Same but mine starts with an I. If it’s a situation where I need to use my actual name I disclose my stutter either before or after I say my name and just accept my name isn’t going to come out smooth...

When i couldnt say my name, i said may catchphrase "i am a stutterer and i cant say may name, but if u want i can spell it". Was kind of hard to bring up the courage at first, but i got used to it. An...

Asking people to stop finishing your sentences is a big step. Glad you were able to do it so young. it took me a minute....

- Talk to your parents & see if your new High school has an IEP for speech therapy. - See if you speak with your all teachers on the 1st day of class privately & let them know you have a stutter/spe...
