I'm pretty relaxed about my stutter and good at making fun of myself. But I can tell if people are laughing with me or at me. You have to have zero tolerance for anyone laughing at you. If she making ...

Except the persons I've met during speech therapy I know two other stutterers and I've met a waiter with a mild stuttering. We are so rare because obviously society forces stutterers to stay at home a...

She probably won't care. From experience, my current gf is the only one that I've told that I stutter, it was really hard, but her reply made me smile: "I don't even notice that". If you're confident ...

What helps also is accepting we aren’t perfect speakers and that messing up is ok. This eases the tension and you will stutter more easily. Fighting it = tension Accepting it = less tension...
