I feel like I only mention it if I happen to stutter. If I don’t, then I’m basically silent about it....

I’ve never thought about phrasing it like that. Usually when I talk about my stutter, it’s because I’m apologizing for it lol. I’m gonna just come out and say it, because not saying anything is just s...

I discovered than when I explain to my friend how exhausting can be a day when I stutter a lot, they understand better. For them, I think they feel at the beginning like : "ok, it's like me when I a...

Stuttering around others?

Stuttering around others? Hi, I’ve recently noticed I subconsciously start stuttering at my work whenever I speak to a regular customer who has a mild stuttering problem. I didn’t before, but I talk t...

My name is my trigger point really. Most of the time if a random person asks me my name I’ll just lie and say it’s John. An easy name for me to say. With my stutter my trigger word is ‘A’ and conveni...

Just be straight up and honest about it, there’s no point in holding it away from the person as it would make you more nervous / anxious when you meet them and have a worse affect on your stutter arou...

A girl I was seeing thought my stutter was cute. I didn’t hide it at all or feel the need to explain myself for it. I’d they can’t handle our wild ride then they don’t deserve our gift of voice....

I don't remember, it was 20 years ago. My time ran out. We had like 6 minutes for the opening statement. I was just relieved when time was called. I still really cant do prepared material, I have j...

I honestly just bring it up- when I was younger I would say things like, wanna know a fun fact about me? They would say sure i would say i have a stutter- and then that would open up the conversation ...

I would say just DO IT! Set your intentions, you will go on this date and you will have fun. Wake up in the morning, put on a nice song have a great morning, have a nice cup of coffee, open the wind...

If you already told him you have a stutter and he’s ok with it I wouldn’t worry. Just be yourself and stutter in front of him. Better to get it out the way and see if he was honest when it said it did...

I have a theory. With most women, especially ones we're attracted to, we tend to lower our voices and speak slowly and deliberately. It's probably subconscious. With other dudes, we talking loudly a...
