Stop being friends with him. If his stutter troubles you on such a level, just leave him be. Like other people have said on this sub it’s amazing that he has the confidence to not care about it, somet...

Despite the fact that you seem to think your supposed friend is too dumb to realize he stutters and too dumb to think before he speaks to avoid stuttering, he absolutely realizes he stutters. Please d...

The best thing you can do to him is don't let him realise it, that's what he was trying to do but you reminded him again....

Hoooolyy, this is my biggest fear of how friends may perceive me during blocks....

Lifelong Stutterer passing down his curse :(

Lifelong Stutterer passing down his curse :( Hello everyone **A little history about myself:** >I (32m) have been stuttering since I was a kid, about 5 years old I guess. It started to get worse ...

Yes—I believe at times I had absolutely none. Then, I have to admit a part of me rebelled always: there is so much more to me than stuttering, and those parts called for recognition. It’s so hard, and...

Lol this is an old forum but I second this. For me if I try to start a sentence with certain letters (Cs and Ds being the most difficult, Ws, Is, etc) I get this “block” sensation. There are ways to g...

Has anybody else gone from overt to covert?

Has anybody else gone from overt to covert? In the past year or so, I have really improved a lot. Before, I used to really struggle in basically any interaction and would often get absurdly long block...

Tell people up front. Take all the mystery and stigma away. It’s not a cure but it sure helps—especially if you buy the theory, as I do, that stuttering is what we do to avoid stuttering. Also, it mi...

Hello everyone, I have a bit of a stuttering problem. I can speak fluently with my family and friends and even with others when I feel comfortable. But when it comes to speaking in class, during presentations or even with shopkeepers, I tend to stutter. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello everyone, I have a bit of a stuttering problem. I can speak fluently with my family and friends and even with others when I feel comfortable. But when it comes to speaking in class, during prese...

In my experience, revealing that i have a stutter takes the pressure off to speak fluently and appear normal lol....

Different people obviously have different things that work for them. Some people prefer techniques, and others prefer to let go of the physical and mental struggle and accept it in order to stammer wi...

Hell yes. It completely ruined my life. But being honest I wouldn't say stuttering ruined my life, my reaction to the stutter ruined my life. I began closing myself to every human interaction to the p...

Has your stutter affected your confidence?

Has your stutter affected your confidence? Hi everyone, I'm not officially diagnosed, but I've had trouble speaking clearly for as long as I can remember. I often get stuck on words, and sometimes pe...

I had such a severe stutter i couldn't get a word out over the phone the moment they picked up, I was choking.  Then in gatherings I was too tired to even try from the stutter and fear of just introdu...

Yeah I’m the same, and what i think the reason is when we talk to our family we know that they know we stutter so we don’t try to hid it. And when we talk to someone we try to impress we only think...

Kinda similar. When I talk to myself, no stutter. When I talk to an attractive girl on a date, barely any stutter. It appears that I stutter the worst when I’m talking to people that I know. However...

At my first job interviews I was blatantly told I couldn’t be hired because of my stuttering, then my first couple of jobs I was treated like I was stupid or slow by coworkers due to my stuttering. Yo...

Disclose enough to let people know what's going on. The point is to kill the "i'm not sure what's that long pause mean" panic on their side, and the "shit shit shit shit what if they find out" panic o...

Nah, mine was/is bad from time to time. I adapted and figured out ways to make it work for me....
