I remember the first day of each year in my teenage years in school when I have to say my name, what hoppy I like etc. Those were nightmares and I had to act to go the bathroom just to avoid it. Even ...

1) It is not a mistake at all, as I think that we all need to figure out our own way of coping and managing it, so do not fault yourself for not being open about it. I am guessing that my stutter is s...

Well, to keep it short - just go ahead and stutter. :) We can certainly avoid certain words, if we think they'll cause problems, but we can also choose to keep saying them. I don't necessarily have ...

I was in the marine corps and my experience stuttering was fine. I still made friends and ranked up. When in bootcamp,ni wasnt singled out or anything, i wasn't treated like a pariah. My recruiter stu...

Although I don’t like police,thank you for sharing, it gives me a confidence boost to know people who stutter have jobs where they talk to people....

As someone who has given many presentations all throughout college, it helps to be up front about your stutter so that people have a chance to understand beforehand. I usually started most presentatio...

We might presume it's important for us stutterers to be able to express ourselves fully, and that we seek to do so via other channels than regular speech, which is so often frustrated by our circumsta...

Yes! Keep working! You can do it! As far as establishing my career, I thought I wanted to be a novelist but I had a three month old so I needed something more stable. Luckily my degree (journalism an...

This was so well thought out and written!! I never thought of it as a skill and that is a very positive spin I will remember this whenever I feel down about stuttering. Thank you! A little off topic ...

Yeah, that makes sense. We might even try to think of it as a _skill_. Like, we're keeping up our ability to manage our stutter. I sometimes see stutterers think of their _speech_ as the skill they ...

i think its all about accepting your stutter as it not something you can cure only manage. so please do not feel pressured to stop stuttering. **God** grant **us** the serenity to accept the **thing...

Everything will be ok!!! I so relate to this- I’m 42 and still hate nothing more than being asked my name!!! It strikes panic like nothing else! Something that helps me is raising my hand to go first....

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS on the pastry school. Second, YOU ARE GOING TO BE FINE!!!! This is what I did, my first and last name both start with a "P". I practiced saying my name every day for 2 ...

>Stuttering can’t be cured That's a popular dogma without any scientific proof. The brain can rewire itself. Many people "cured" themselves (in case of stuttering, the word "cure" to me means that...

Thanks dude! You’re story was really nice to read and really inspired me! It sounds like you’re doing great things and are on your way to even better things ! keep owning your stutter and hopefully yo...

Poor little dude! I hope you didn’t go after the teacher though. As a teacher myself, and a stutterer, I see both ends of this. With 30 kids in the room at all times, 30 different contexts to conside...

Stuttering can’t be cured(you probably already know this), I’m not trying to be rude but your parents should do research into it. If they don’t understand your stutter how are they going to try to te...

I think the topic is great and a way to educate people. Try and pretend it’s speech day when you’re practicing by standing, continuing even if you stutter, and maybe in front of someone or a mirror. ...

I would say that giving a speech about it is a great idea! Not only are you a subject matter expert, in some ways I think stuttering or stammering during it will in some ways lend even more validity t...

this made me happy, makes me think its going to get normalized into society, we need more stutterers in media,(like Diego in umbrella academy), or just icons that stutter talking about it. I might sou...
