Just relax and have a good time. When I'm on a date, I talk about my stutter when it's obvious. If she's really as great you say she is, then she won't mind. If she does mind, then she's not worth it....

When speaking to a person for the first time, I bring it up once I feel I had a noticeable block or stutter. I just say something like, "you might not know this about me, but I stutter." Then we just ...

I stutter. People don't really make a big deal out of it when you tell them. They're always very understanding. They smile and say "that's fine, take your time", or if they're curious they might ask y...

:) I like being open about it too, so it's not awkward, the person I'm talking to knows the deal. It's hard to care about being awkward when the other person gets what's going on. When I stutter, if...

Right, I don't have the key to it yet. My journey isn't over. But I've at least experienced it for the first time. I now know it's possible for me, so now it's all about trying to have that state of m...

Well I don't think that the belief cannot be overcome - I think people overcome limiting beliefs all of the time. And I don't think it is the matter of flicking a switch and turning off a limiting bel...

I find that school of thought useless, personally. Even if it were true that it was only a belief holding us back (I don't think it is, and there's more science out there supporting that than not), if...

I guess it's a shame thing. Once you get over the shame then there's nothing to be afraid of. Too bad that's the hardest part. Thanks for the comment's :)...

I said the same thing some time ago. I just couldn't wrap my head around the idea of not caring what other people thought of my stutter. My stutter is also very severe, so people do not only notice th...

Glorious, yet uneventful. I use to be a partial covert stutterer. In the context that I used to hide my stutter when I could. But I couldn’t always do so… If that makes any sense. Hiding your stutter...

I feel like I'm the odd one out here. I don't disclose. Then again, though I do have a noticeable stutter, in no way do I think it defines me. Sure, I repeat a few words a few times. I have blocks...
