Look at it like this: you encountered one of the worst-case phone call scenarios for stutterers. It sucked, sure. But the world didn't end. You've had the bad experience. You can live through another ...

This is so relatable and I'm glad you shared the experience. I feel like there's one of two ways you could view it - yeah, there's the natural "oh god that was awful why do I have to stutter, why God...

Focus on the positives, not the negatives. You have friends and a good job. Many people who stutter don't even have that. The overwhelming majority of adults who stutter that I've met have a signific...

I wish I was dating someone, that way I’d have someone else to care about me outside of family, but yeah it does chap me. Overall I’m quite happy with my life, but yeah that tho. ...

My nine year old daughter has a fairly severe speech block. It can be extremely tough for her at times, and even though she keeps her speech frustrations from ruining her moments, they still can sneak...

While you are in your junior year, work hard to get those top grades. Join engineering groups. Attend events of all kinds. Don't let one or two nay-sayers get you down. Start putting yourself in sit...

The struggle is real. In games I can say whatever I want, when I want but in real life I am constantly anxious whether or not I will be able to say something, which most of the time discourages me to ...

The whole thing may be intimidating for them also, since they are new to the school also. Everyone wants to meet a lot of people. Make lots of friends, that makes bullies more reluctant. And go to man...

Going to university did wonders for my confidence. I was suddenly in a situation where I had to talk to people I didn't know, and although I was expecting the usual jokes and laughs, I didn't get any....

Yes there is winning. Your stutter isn’t holding you back. You can still communicate. Your fear is holding you back....

College is where all my walls came down and my confidence developed. You just can't NOT participate. That forces you to practice speaking in front of people. Fluent or not, you get exposed to so many ...

When you have a block.. break off on that conversation just to say you have a stutter. And then try to resume. Sometimes that informs people to be patient, and they may even take more initiative on ma...

Good job. 8 icebreakers? You've climbed the mountain or hill 8 times already and it went okay. You're a mountaineer now. :-)...

I'm generally an extrovert as well so it's weird to have a stutter - because I know if I didn't have one I wouldn't shut-up lol. All things considered though, I think senior year will be a good time -...

College really is a new experience. You’ll still run into people that will laugh. Hell, I’m 30 and I still experience people that laugh or mock. It does get better though. It gets easier. It’s these...

I tried this with someone who I met and it worked out great! I found some friends who seem genuinely interested in what i have to say for which i am very grateful. One of them even has a severely stut...

Second this. Don't be daunted by their disinterest. If you persist then they will eventually be interested in what you are trying to say. Maybe to make it easy try to find a group which has similar ...

Way to challenge yourself. Best way to improve is to regularly push yourself outside of your comfort zone - it never turns out as bad as our worst imaginings! ...

Dude this is amazing! And your stutter really isn't bad! I am so happy that you even gave it a shot! I've always wanted to make a youtube channel but never have. You're an inspiration! ...

First off well done for actually using the drive thru and having to speak rather than letting your stutter take a hold and you avoid the situation 🎉 Fuck that guy, you and your husband had every rig...
