I totally agree with this post! If you say upfront that you have a stutter, they are more likely to look past it. Yes you're nervous and that's likely why the stuttering is worse (I know it is for me)...

I'm glad you're asking this! :) Honestly, just the fact that you care enough to find out more is a lot. If you are this proactive and understanding with him, I imagine he already feels less pressure. ...

Let me be honest here may be it can help me. ​ I was a mild stutterer avoiding most of the social interactions. And one time I visited NSA chapter in my city (Stuttering support group) an...

That’s awesome! It’s not so bad but I notice I have it when I have to plan on saying certain things and more so when my anxiety and stress is at its peak.. not thinking about it helps. Most people don...

I was somewhat bad (bad enough to need speech and language therapy) when I was about 10/11 years old, got much better for a few years, barely noticed it on a daily basis, could read out in class, answ...

Confidence is HUGE. When I wake up and I look in the mirror, look good, dress well, eat well it helps massively. I would say confidence is the answer to these magical days....

The anxiety high is real and feels amazing. I always feel like an anxious, dread-filled stress ball in the days before a presentation but feel like a million bucks after it's finally done. That feelin...

I sometimes think im a mind reader or something, when I’m talking and stuttering I’ll see the persons eye contact drift down to my contorting face. And immediately I’m thinking that they must think I’...

How did you guys accept your stutter? (Practice Self-Acceptance)

How did you guys accept your stutter? (Practice Self-Acceptance) I'm a very severe pws, like facial contortion, block on every word bad. I'm also very covert about my speech, I try at all costs to avo...

This happens to me also, for example youre talking to a friend on the bus and people start staring at you. I don't really know what to say other than, don't worry about it. If a person is enough of a...

I feel like, it will only make you feel stupid if you allow it. People are not used to stuttering but they mostly now what it is, so the weird looks isnt because you look stupid but more because its p...

Take it from me - the looks are probably less of a thing than you think. When I stutter, I become really perceptive about little things like this and really sensitive to how people are looking at and...

I appreciate your opinion mate. No I don't expect normal people to understand the pain of stutterers because they themselves might have never went through it. I was sad because I thought I would ove...

Yes glossphobia is my primary concern. I am an acute stutterer. And no I'm not in any kind of treatment right now. ...

>glossophobia (fear of public speaking) Say, is this the primary, whereas the stutter is secondary? Are you in treatment for the former, which might conceivably alleviate the latter?...

Stuttering has made me fall to my knees, I'm 100% hopeless So I'm [19, M] currently in my first semester at a reputated and one of the leading universities of my country. There's a club in my uni that...

No there really hasn't, I have been involved in studies at Oxford I had an mri scan. There still is no biological answer. If there was why would we not stammer at all when speaking alone, but very bad...

That might be one of the most epic "disaster" stutter stories I've heard haha. I'm glad everyone was a good sport about it and I hope you win the photo contact! If you feel confident about the speech,...

In my opinion stuttering is almost 100% psychological there is no true biological answer as to why we stammer. All humans have an inbuilt mechanism that keeps us alive, our subconscious These are th...
