If I was complaining about my stuttering with someone and they said that my stuttering is cute/sexy/etc. I would be surprised and have a positive feeling. But if I was talking and in the middle of my...

This is tricky, and I think the comments here reflect that. I’m thinking back on when my previous girlfriends would compliment me for it, or they would call it “cute”, and I’m looking back on it with ...

I can't speak for your boyfriend but I can speak for myself as well as many people in this group. A stutter is often the greatest source of self doubt, anxiety, and sadness for anybody that experience...

from a stutterer's perspective someone telling them that their stutter is cute/sexy/cool/nice will probably make that person feel confused (how can someone like something that's bad to them?), anger (...

Not funny but a wierd situation: At my first job, I had a manager who had this very very mild stammer. Every once in a long while he would stammer on a random word. I didn't know then and also he was...

I’m in college now, looking to pursue health science/medical school. My stutter still brings me a lot of trouble and I try to avoid speaking in class and stuff even though I know the answer or have an...

even when my stutters in check, talking about something as sensitive as death is still hard....

This is not medical advice, I'm not a doctor. This is just my own personal experience. Both of those medications have helped me. I have a severe stutter and I've been on both of those medications for ...

I take anxiety medication, and I still stutter the same the alprazolam is a controlled substance. So to get prescribed that for stuttering may be a challenge. Also if you have a job that does drug tes...

Hey buddy! I try to skip the hello and ask a question or go with another greeting that I dont stuck on. The trick with approaching women is TO CONSIDER THEM MEN. Just be normal with them and approach ...

I went to a French course a few years ago, so I know the feeling. My advice would be the exact opposite, to participate as much as you can, that’s what will help you in the long run with the stutter b...

Sorry to hear. I sympathize, I get so anxious before I have to do phone interviews (or really any talking). The thing about public speaking is that it takes practice, my nerves always prevented me fro...

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply with such a helpful perspective and solution on the whole thing. For future subjects, I will have to have the talk with the professors. I think ...

Interviews and speech fatigue

Interviews and speech fatigue Just hear to vent a little bit. Feel free to read or not. Been interviewing a lot for some jobs recently. Just finished my 4th interview in 3 days. One was in person, t...

No you're definitely 100% right. I havent talked to my professors about it, partly because in my culture stuttering is seen as something like whatever u know. But i definitely need to have this talk w...

Exactly. And that's never going to happen right? The world will never just instantly change and everyone will stutter. What it really comes down to is feeling safe to express your authentic self. ...

It honestly depends. With most people it will go away as I grow more comfortable with them but in a situation like with her I was just always nervous around because I had such a crush, if that makes s...

Yes, I big thing I feel here is comparison. You believe you should be fluent around others who are fluent. What if your boyfriend and friends were all stuttering at putting in their orders as well. ...
