My stutter is very mild--I've been at my job for 6 months and my boss didn't notice it until last week. MANY times, when I stumble over a word, people think I'm making a joke, because it seems to come...

I dont see the point in sending another email. Sounds like you want them to confirm your worst fear and tell you they didnt pick you because of your stutter. Well they're not going to do that and they...

I would never say a disclaimer. I actually use it pretty often when the question about adversity or struggle in my life. It's gold!...

It seems to be different for everybody. For instance, I can speak in front of very large groups of complete strangers with barely a stutter. I've had friends I've known for a while that never even kne...

Holy shit, I made an account just to say how true what the biker guy said in the end is. He said about stuttering being a teacher but a very harsh teach at that and that is what I have come to realiz...

I think people "cringe" in different ways. Doesn't sound necessarily stutter-related to me?...

Every day. I would be a completely different person. I sometimes feel there is a version 2.0 hidden inside me that is confident and witty, and he sometimes comes out to but then reclines back in as ...

Two remarks here (which boil down to the same, actually). The first, is that you actually performed the first instance of the sentence perfectly. That's a win. But we usually don't see it that way, I...

Exactly! Just like having a stammer doesn't make you a bad communicator. It's only one tiny part of communication. Some people stammer. Some people have a lisp. Some people mumble. Some people speak ...

Wow I only found this subreddit today too, that's weird! Yeah I'd love to offer some advice! I'll try to organise the answers the best I can. First of all, our situations seem to be very similar. I'...

I'm attracted to men who stutter too. I just find it unique and interesting. It melts my heart. ...

The difference between the term stutterer and person who stutter. YouTube video.

I think the same things sometimes. I may have been less empathetic a person, maybe I would have been an asshole. Stuttering really humbles a person. Still would love not to have it though....

All the time. I think of the positives, but also of the negatives, as should you. Positives of *not* developing a stutter: Less social anxiety, able to say what you want when you want, one less thing...

PWS looking to work with other PWS. Hoping to see if I can help make a positive change in life and speech of someone else who stutters.

No specific event, mainly just getting older I think. Maybe you start getting a career, a wife, and that sort of stuff and now stuttering doesn't seem like that big of a deal in comparison. If someo...

Thank you. This is exactly how I feel. Stutter left some negative marks on me, but it was also a gift that made me into person I am today and I am grateful for that....

...a gift and a curse likewise. The bad side is that i have a mild social anxiety, but i am working on that (with great success). But without stuttering in my past i wouldn't be the person i am no...

I know what you mean. In my class, I'm fairly popular as in many people look up to me because of my social nature (and yes, I stutter) and good grades. Then, it was time for oral presentations and I f...

You've mentioned a really big obstacle for me. I've had women show interest but I push them away. It kills my self esteem and makes me feel really unsexy. I've accepted that I'll probably always stutt...
