How to live with it?

How to live with it? I live in a small town in Tennessee, I have been stuttering since I was a child. Couple of years ago I worked on my stuttering and boosted my confidence, I would talk to strangers...

My advice is to disclose your stutter. Be upfront & honest. I am 49 years old, master's degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, married with 1 son AND a national trainer. My stutter star...

Sometime I decided to keep an opinion for me because I feel it when I'm going to stutter or not....

Whenever someone responds like this, try to tell them about your stutter. They don't understand that it's not in our control to stutter or not. So they better be informed right in the moment so that t...

The "spit it out" comment is always the worst. Because no one wants us to spit it out more than us! And many people don't understand that. Don't let that ignorance get to you! I think the best soluti...

Sometimes that’s difficult for me. At other times he interrupts me so much that it’s just not worth finishing the sentence anymore....

Thank you for this really just showed me a new prescriptive. I know my stutter won’t hold me back in life but I just feel like If I didn’t have my stutter life would be so much easier. I’m gonna try a...

19 bro, noticed my stutter around 6-7 years old. I was the type of student to stay quiet and just keep to myself unless I was told to answer or if the teacher told me to read something in class. Movin...

Some people don’t know how to respond to people who stutter. I don’t know this person, but I doubt it was said maliciously. There will always be people that say things like that, and it will come whe...

Saddened

Saddened Just to keep it short and simple yesterday I went downstairs to go eat with my family. My sisters friend had came over so we began to talk. It was casual talk but then I started speaking to m...

I'm no expert, but it really doesn't sound like it's your training that does that. Perhaps you're just looking for a clear cause? That's not a luxury we typically have with stuttering. Try forgettin...

yes was very hard for me too. Believe it or not I used to call information 100 times a week to densensitize myself . It was free. Even if you changed it the same thing would happen, There is hope. ...

I also experience this. My first name is unusual, so there's the added anxiety of correcting others - anxiety around telling them the right way plus actually saying it over (and over) again. I tried g...

Does anyone omit the first letter of their name so it's easier to say? People can usually figure out easily what's being said (I do it when asked which city I'm from in my country)...

I had a an interview. I was scared but made peace uwth the fact the some stutters would stay in. anyway, 1 mini stutter stayed in through a 3 minute vignette and I can't tell you how relieved and happ...

I keep getting cut off

I keep getting cut off So I’m talking to this guy. I’ve been talking to him for a few months now, and he’s been starting to really tick me off. I’ve told him that I have a stutter and that I need to b...

i’ve tried it and know a little ASL but it’s really not practical - nobody else i know can understand ASL so it’s not helpful at all, still a fun hobby though...

Yeah, I already did that sort of thing way back in kindergarten. I even went so far as to invent words that conveyed the meaning of those I avoided. E.g. instead of "shovel", I at one time said "digg...
