Would you rather be mute?

Would you rather be mute? I think part of what makes stuttering hard to deal with is the fact that everyone can technically stutter but not everyone is a stutterer. So there aren't a lot of people tha...

I apologize if this is super TLDR. Don’t give up hope! Job hunting or even first meetings (like dates, first days of school ect )are definitely harder for anyone with a speech disfluency. Believe me,...

Welcome to the Community OP! I found the best way I cope is exactly what you did, be open about your stutter - Let the person know who you are talking to that you have a speech impediment, then a norm...

No need to apologize at all. Sharing thoughts about our situation gives me enough comfort. When you describe yourself, it's like you are describing me. After I opened up about my stuttering, I found t...

Does anyone else feel like a stutter is a motivating factor?

Does anyone else feel like a stutter is a motivating factor? I've constantly felt like my stutter has held me back in my life, and has led to me to not make friends, not play team sports, not learn ce...

I'm a woman who stutters, I get it from my dad. Didn't say my first words until I was 4. I've had a severe stutter ever since then. I had speech therapy in Elementary and middle school, and got it und...

Being a Teacher

Being a Teacher I'm curious can stutterers be good teachers? I would like to be a History Teacher but I've always figured that with a stutter it'd be unlikely I would be good at it My stutter is moder...

Hi, coming late to this, but I'm a woman with a stutter. Personally, I think that there are a lot more women stutterers than most people realise, but that women tend to be 'covert' stutterers and are ...

That's really cool guys. I was thinking of a lion portrait to symbolize fearlessness. It can also mean other things besides stutter ...

Yeah, I have a tattoo related to my stutter. The text: "Dare to be" Behind those 3 words is a small bird. I think it's clear what it means related to a stutter ;)...

Tattoos

Tattoos Does anyone here have tattoos that represent their stutter? Or associate it with their experience? Tattoos are a great way to express ourselves as stutterers. I want to hear what you guys thi...

I think this is a great idea, the articulate stutterer. It's really what I aspire to be now a days -- it feels hard for me to completely control my speech or stuttering unless I want to use a complete...

I think my writing has actually improved because I stutter -- I've found it as an outlet for communicating, and I generally read more since I'm a little more introverted from the stutter. ...

Not me, I have excellent writing skills, despite having a severe stutterer. You sure you don't have ADHD or ADD besides your stutter? It's a fairly common combination from what I've seen....

I eat lunch at work alone. I hate small talk and find it annoying. However, sometimes I have to fake it and organize team lunches or some other social activities. I still hate it though. My stuttering...

I'm fairly confident that they're not related. To compare cases, my stutter is quite severe yet my writing is completely unaffected. The only way I really see the two things being connected is if th...

I think some people can just own their stuttering in such a positive or neutral way that they come off as articulate. I think there's so much more to being an effective communicator than being fluent....

I think you are correct since most of the well spoken stutterers I have met ,have a significantly visible stutter and people know that they stutter.Almost all of them are very public and social indivi...

Articulate stutterers?

Articulate stutterers? I have noticed that some stutterers are articulate with their speech inspite of having blocks in their speech.They usually know what they want to say exactly but have blocks in ...

The fact that you went and tried, even if you stuttered you have balls and everyone in that room knows that. I am 30, recently graduated from college. Had to give tons of presentations, after each and...
