Ignore them and move on. Your stutter is as much part of you as your skin color or your gender and there is nothing to be embarrassed about ...

I would never wish a stutter upon anyone. I hate having a stutter. It is embarrassing. I hate the looks people give, or other people finishing my words, or the little smirks when it happens. When I wa...

When I get down about it, I try to remember there is more value in my thoughts than in how I present them. I hope you're okay OP...

So you mean you keep replaying situations where you stutter in front of other people? I'm still working on this, but I try to adjust my views about the experience. In essence, I try to commend myself ...

Oh, and I meant to add that, in my own experience, most people will largely not care about my stutter -- if they do, they have some deep insecurity that they are not dealing with well. I've had a ton ...

Hey! Hang in there .. I have felt much of what you wrote on this post. I'm 30 now, and especially over the past few years, I've tried to slowly change my views about stuttering. I've done some speec...

I feel like a human thesaurus and honestly, my stutter is probably why I became a writer. Some of us are great at manipulating language so we can speak more fluently. In the last 10 years, I don't try...

I used to be pretty covert but I'm kind of getting tired of it and getting more comfortable with my stutter so I'm trying to do the first case and be alright with my stutter as much as possible!...

Good luck! I know everybody's condition and severity is different. My stutter was quite severe as a child and basically just seemed to gradually (very gradually) erode away as I got older. There might...

If you know them: Laugh. Move on. If you do not know them: Laugh. Move on. So you just stuttered in front of people. Did you intend to stutter? Can you control when or how you stutter? The answer i...

I usually (not always tho) do the first one with people that know that I stutter (which are my parents, my bro and some very close friends) but I pratically always do the second one with people that d...

Generally, the larger the class, the less likely you will have to speak. It is mostly social sciences or liberal arts classes that make you speak, but I’ve had a small physics class I’ve had to speak ...

In my experience, high school required more speaking than college. By that I mean that there's less pressure to speak by peers/teachers. It also depends on your classes. I am majoring in computer scie...

I attended the business school at my university so there were quite a few presentations. On the first day of class I would always advertise that I stutter so that the class would know. So during your ...

For sure man. I really appreciate it! Today I started on just letting my self stutter around some of my family. I feel really awkward about it but at least I'm being candid....

Some people get past their stutter, sure. We don't know what works for who, though. You should focus your efforts on being able to manage your stutter instead. Fluency is merely a limit case of manage...

This sure makes sense to me haha. Thank you for your response. One thing that I have only recently come to terms with is, like you mention, that my impediment will never completely go away and I need ...

Hey, I too am a stutterer, and have too had trouble being open with my family about the way I speak. At the end of the day, as horrid as it sounds, we will never be able to completely stop stuttering...

Update: It went pretty well, actually. Her family is really nice and understanding. Her niece and nephew pointed out my stutter, but they’re really little so it was kind of cute. The only person who d...

Dude you got this. Don't stress. We've all been there. I recently had to meet some of my girlfriends family and they actually told her my stutter was cute and they wanted to hear me stutter more. It d...
