I really enjoy this subreddit

I really enjoy this subreddit Hey everybody just wanted to say I enjoy you all. I'm a 28 year old with a stutter and reading all your post good or bad makes me feel like I'm part of a community. I'm a...

I sold bicycles for a couple summers at a local bike shop, and ended up being the top salesperson there! Even outselling my boss (who stole my commission, but that's another story). At first I really ...

Worked at a major hotel chain with a TON of families, serving ice cream, coffee, cafe stuff. Had that job seasonally for 3 years. Loved it. Not everyday was easy ... had some real jerks out there. My ...

the internet. As a fellow semi stutterer (I instantly knew what you meant lol) The slow pauses are actually taught in speech therapy and I don't use them for the exact reason you stated, yes they wo...

Thanks for that. I have actually never met another person besides my brother that stutters. People get nervous, people trip up on words, people need to slow down and breath, but never met a true stutt...

I would have another child, and probably will, in a heart beat. Even if he has the worst stutter of all time. I have a fulfilling life in-spite of my stutter. The possibility of having a stutter is no...

Same thing. I'm from Italy [M 23], and i too have a mild stutter, that i always hide with quick word swaps, pauses and accurately placed "uhms". When you stutter for 16 years you start to come up w...

You're welcome. So much of what makes stuttering bad/tougher to live with is developing unhealthy attitudes regarding it. Having someone around who can help that (you) will make a difference. I'm also...

I'm the "guy" from above that you replied to but the mods removed it for telling me to go have sex with myself, so I will reply here. Stuttering isn't a death sentence, as many in this sub will echo. ...

Depends on the severity and your own personality. As someone who is fairly confident but reserved getting a job on tills essentially cured my stutter ironically. My stutter was never severe to the poi...

I have worked customer service for most of my working life and its been tricky. I have had a couple of people who were super rude. It had helped me to shape my character, and I did meet a lot of peop...

I worked as a cashier for months until the shops closed. Well its best you inform your boss about it and maybe just tell him how best to deal with it and what it really is. Something in the brain that...

Thanks for the advice. I was always told it wasn’t a bloodline thing. Maybe my parents told me that so I felt less guilty about my brother. I know I’ll be a great dad. And if he stutters, that’s fine....

Yep he’s had some really long blocks and prolongations (I’m sure repetitions too I just can’t think of any off the top of my head). I haven’t talked to everyone in the class but the 6 or so that I hav...

Depends if you have an actual stutter or not. If you don't, it's okay, it happens to everyone. But if you have the neurological stutter, rip.. I do not recommend breathing slowly or avoiding words, b...

He might end up being someone who stutters or he might not. Stuttering does run in families. But, if that happens it’s not your fault nor something you should feel shamed about, even though it may see...

it’s soooo much easier to tell new ppl, i’m about to go away to college and i’m gonna advertise the FUCK out of my stutter and i have a feeling that’s gonna help a lot...

I never thought about my stuttering as “covert stuttering” until you made this post. I always thought of it as being a closet stutterer. Covert stuttering is a more accurate definition of what I’ve be...

That's good to hear. I've been trying to come out to people and I don't know if it's just me but I feel like it's easier to tell someone new rather than telling someone who you've been talking to for ...

That's really nice to hear and I'm really happy for you and your self acceptance. I would love to be a part of this organisation but is it available overseas? I'm from a really small city in India and...
