I don't stutter, but I have two very different experiences with colleagues who stutter. I know a foreign business manager with a stutter (mild? moderate? I can't really say). He acknowledges it with h...

Like somebody mentioned earlier, just treating him like a normal person will do wonders as it will alleviate stress that may exacerbate whatever stuttering habits he has. I think a lot of what stutter...

So one day he said "do you notice how I get stuck sometimes when I talk?" I said "no?" He says "well it happens less around you bc I'm less nervous but it's something I've dealt with all my life." And...

We met online and then started talking over the phone, then met in real life etc....and here we are discussing serious stuff, like marriage. :) Some days it's really bad and other days you barely noti...

Personally, I want to be and be treated exactly like someone who doesn't stutter. I understand where you're coming from and why you would say you're proud of him but, as a stutterer, I can see how i...

Depends on how my speech is for the day, some days I am fluent and I'll smoke and be very confident. Other times I will smoke and will block A LOT and feel very insecure about myself, which could just...

There are two things you are doing which is making your stutter worse. 1. Getting depressed when you are stuttering 2. Getting happy when you are not stuttering. Don't get excited and become happy ...

I stutter myself and was doing it for past 26 years. I panicked when my daughter started to stutter. I tried everything to get rid of her stutter but no success. All speech therapist suggested talking...

Although I smoke, I usually do so alone in my house; I don't much like being stoned in public and around people a lot, although on the times I have done I have noticed an improvement in my speech. I h...

Yeah the funny thing about stuttering is that the more conscious you are of it, the worse it gets. I also realized that I stutter after doing it for 10 years because I only have blocks. At first I l...

You don't have to ask for or even accept pity. The point is to take ownership of the situation. People closest to you grow accustomed to your stutter and have an unspoken understanding, but it's still...

Accepting the fact that you stutter doesn't mean you're okay with letting it take hold of your life. It's simply a first step of acknowledging you have a speech disorder in the first place. We all see...

Okay thanks! I feel like I'm comfortable with my stuttering with my closest friends and family. So I think that I accept myself. I don't care if I stutter with them. And then "luckily" fore me I don't...

Yeah...Haven't mentioned that to anyone. I've never really talked about it, don't know why. But I've never felt embarrassed about my stuttering with my family, close friends and now my girlfriend. I s...

I agree that stutter exercises/programs only work with a proactive approach and by getting outside your comfort zone. However i don't quite understand what your definition of fluency is. For me, fluen...

Why you should never settle in your quest for fluent speech

Why you should never settle in your quest for fluent speech I've spoken about people who have "settled" in the past and it's had quite a mixed response. People understood and acknowledged my points bu...

At this point, I'm 19 and halfway through university. I've accomplished a lot with it and I'm loving and being more comfortable with myself. I don't think really think I'd trade it as it's truly just ...

Haha yesss. The excitement of shaming the shit out of someone with the simple words "hehe yeah.. I stutter" paired with a condescending smile. Its amazing how fast you can observe true fear/shame/guil...

Don't try to hide your stutter. Just fucking say what you need to say and get done with it. Practice before it multiple times. Get so comfortable with it you can recall it almost word for word. ...

Yeah, we should let people around us know that we stutter. There's no shame in it. No sense in keeping it a secret. It's just info about a thing about you....
