If you avoid sweating, eventually everything makes you sweat. If you avoid anxiety, eventually everything makes you anxious. If you avoid stuttering, eventually everything will make you stutter. ...

He does want to talk to someone about mental health too, I think it’s just become a bit circular because he doesn’t know what to do first. He told me when we first met that he was finding it hard bec...

Another engineer, civil/environmental. I haven't had to give any sort of presentation (yet) but I do have to do site visits, talk with clients, call various regulatory agencies on the phone, etc. I ch...

I just always have my phone handy and I'll just give then a "hold on a sec" gesture and type out a quick note on my phone and show them. Quick and versatile. When someone asks my name and I have a ...

I do think that’s a stupid question, or at least a stupid way to phrase it. “Explain why you cannot be contacted by telephone call.” If someone can’t be contacted by phone it’s probably for a sensitiv...

Depends on the stutterer. If the stuttering is severe and it takes them a minute to say three words, texting/emailing would be more practical, convenient, and will save time and unnecessary struggle....

As long as more often then not you do the things that make you uncomfortable. They'll just stay uncomfortable rather then full blown fears...

Hm, I don't think we can reliably count on anyone understanding sign language. Perhaps keep pre-written actual signs/notes on your person (analog or digital) for when it's rough?...

I'm sorry you feel that way and thank you for sharing it here. What are things you want to do? How are you going to get there? Do those things step by step, and allow any feeling or thought in the ...

i stutter too and im a 18f freshman in uni right now so rip me. there’s been so many times where i just break down and just think about how my life would be so much better if i didn’t stutter. i do be...

I think this is a really interesting idea. My guess is that they would hesitate but not stutter....

Trust me and please again trust me. They do not care as much as you. What’s the worst that could happen when you stutter? In fact i would argue to stutter more. That way everyone at your job knows you...

Engineer here! I’m not going to lie, meetings and presentations are still challenging for me, but I’ve found that in the course of my day-to-day work (in a manufacturing plant), no one even cares abo...

Both. You don’t “have a stutter” like others would have you believe. Everyone from seasoned talk show hosts to average joes stutter. But what makes us different from them, you may ask? Other people do...

Hmmm so what do we have here? A person that is seems "supportive" that tries to understand a person that stutters and confort her like tell her that "it's ok i do it too!". But the person who stutter...

Thank you! I completely agree about the smaller things. When giving a speech or presenting something I can usually start just fine at least, but interrupting a teacher to inform them that a student is...

It actually seems like I'm talking to myself. I have all the exact same traits. I'm not a smooth talker. I'm assuming you're not as well. Online dating helped me. You don't actually have to go to a ...

I have a weekly work meeting and I experience this too. I practice before the meeting and it's all great until it's my turn to talk. I've honestly learned to say screw it and embrace it, I say Uhms ...

This is extremely helpful! I agree with everything here. I used to work retail too, and it helped tremendously. My speech therapist calls it "turning your voice on" the more you talk the better or mo...

So I've stuttered since I was 7 too. I'm 33 now, and have stuttered consistently since then. It comes and goes in severity for me, but it'd definitely more severe when I'm stressed or thinking/overthi...
