Does it not annoy you that your girlfriend and maybe other girls find it 'cute' or adorable or whatever? Maybe I'm a bit too.. aggressive about this, but in my head i'm like; 'I stutter, I have a spe...

I think it's about time we, stutterers, stop being ashamed for something that isn't our fault....

It's called a block. Likely a silent block. Your vocal cords lock (either shut or open) and you cant phonate (produce sound). What's worse, the harder you try to get the word out and not stutter, the ...

In Junior High, I sold newspaper subscriptions door-to-door. I'm not sure if I sold them because I'm the worlds best salesman, or if they pitied me. Either way, I made BANK. And by bank, I mean I made...

I did it anyway. It made me stronger and helped my speech. If a customer gives you a hard time just politely and confidently say "No, I have a speech disfluency" and continue your sentence....

I think it's important to become comfortable with your stammer, to realise it's not the end of the world if you do stammer in front of people, and if they tease you then that's their problem. To help...

I've stuttered since I was a kid, and like you, I think I'm a lot funnier, wittier, and well-spoken over writing than over speech. But I've done a lot better in college. I still stutter, mind you, but...

Hey Scatman, well i'd at least like to tell you that you're not alone in this. I block a lot too and i dont really stutter like s-s-s-stutter. The best way i've seen to deal with this is to be able to...

I had the same! and the same kind of blockage later on when I became 18. I visited a speech therapist with a different view, and she deliberatly let me stutter against strangers to give me the feeling...

Not really a story, but I had a girl in middle school who thought my stutter was the cutest thing in the world =P kinda helped me not give a fuck about it throughout the years. Your story made me rea...

The first thing I want to tell you and this is probably one of the hardest things to accept but, he is he well adjusted and doesn't have a problem with his stuttering, then there isn't a problem. Stut...

That's normal for me as well. I get annoyed when I'm stuttering in front of friends because I am *supposed* to be more comfortable around them. But then again, they don't mind as much, so it's not som...

Well it's not about how innocuous it is, its about how we feel about it. There are some people who have learned (through practice and work) to become comfortable with stuttering, regardless of fluency...

Put an earplug in! I'm serious.. and remember you are your own worst critic. I have dropped several classes before in college when I skim and read the worst word... PRESENTATION. Even worse, presentat...

Yep, exactly the same here. When I'm with family or friends and I'm feeling comfortable and relaxed, I don't stutter. On the phone or talking to strangers in person? Horribly bad stutter...

Hi BadJimFred. Thank you so much for sharing your story. Even though you didn't get through it, that's totally okay and what you said was very nice already. I think I get what you mean by the atypi...

I'll be honest, I was not able to get through your article at the moment because I'm on vacation with family and chasing my 1 year old around. What I did read of it I liked though. It's very thoughtfu...

giving oral presentations is a skill regardless of whether one stutters or not. The best way to learn to manage stuttering while giving oral presentations is to give oral presentations. There is not...

What was your BEST case of stuttering? How did it shape your high school - college years?

What was your BEST case of stuttering? How did it shape your high school - college years? In my sophomore year of college I had to give a presentation towards the end of the semester. You know how at ...

I must concur with my weaselish colleague. Advertise first thing and don't hide it. Own it. They care a lot less then you do. Trust us, go forth, and kick butt. ...
