That’s so true. But I think it all comes back to how we carry ourselves. I read somewhere else in this community of someone who said that stuttering didn’t define or change the tone of the various poi...

I think the same thing too. But like imagine this right? You could be the hilarious guy that everyone likes, he just has a stutter. I always wonder how people would see me if I just let myself be my...

I’ve laughed at a stutter before too. You relate to him. What’s the first rule of comedy? Talk about things the audience relates too. He’s not doing it on purpose but for someone in the know, he may a...

My first time meeting other stutters was at a stuttering support group, and I felt bad because I couldn’t help but laugh. Not that I was laughing to be mean or anything, I was just laughing and can’t ...

Does his more-open stuttering make you feel uncomfortable? Maybe your laughing is just an automatic way you’re responding to something in him that you aren’t comfortable doing? This happened to a frie...

Hey, I told my flatmate before we first met that I had a stammer. He was cool with it, I think sometimes its best to tell people, so they dont kinda freak out if you do stutter badly....

Congratulations on the internship! > I can't change the way I talk, but I can sure as hell change the way I think about it This. All the way. I went to a speech therapist for about 1.5 years, an...

This may sound weird, but it almost sounded like she was projecting her thoughts about herself & weightloss onto you. Because everything she said about you could have been said about her self. I’m...

Some thoughts and things that help me be fluent

Some thoughts and things that help me be fluent So I’ve had a moderate stutter my whole life. Recently though, this past month, I’ve been the most fluent I’ve been in a while. I wanted to share some r...

The girl I like is extroverted because I’m pretty talkative myself. She’s complimented how outgoing I am despite my stutter....

I've been stuttering since I could speak. It was the same me for me! It's like fear of public speaking amplified. My only advice is to keep talking. Take jobs that require you speak a lot (like retail...

It used to affect a lot, but now I just don't care, there's some people still tell jokes but literally no one cares about it anymore, and me neither, everything you have to do to always be good is not...

A lot in the past, but a lot less now. Everyone has something imperfect about them, and I would rather have stuttering than certain other things (like being mute, for example). Also, I've learned that...

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy, essentially. At least it was/is for me, and it seems to be for you. You think that anxiety causes stuttering, which leads to stuttering in anxious situations, which le...
