Man I know how it feels I've had a stutter all my life despite being a good reader and writer I just can't speak It hurts and it made me make excuses for things, I always wanted to present something i...

Yup :( Sometimes people shake hands when they introduce themselves, and sometimes when I'm stuttering they just keep a hold of my hand, presumably because they don't know what to do. Super awkward....

I hate group introductions. Occasionally, if I'm with friends that know me well, they'll indict and introduce me once I've struggled for a while. Which is cool. I starter really badly on my name, I'...

I've pretty much given up

I've pretty much given up 16m. Just moved to another new school, AGAIN! My stuttering has just gotten worse and worse, I don't even try to talk anymore, so people think I'm rude. I don't see the point...

I always found when using the phone, I simply tell them I do have a stammer and might get stuck on a few words. That usually took the pressure off me and helped to be pretty fluent....

Ha it is. I'll usually stutter within the first few minutes, which is quickly followed by me muttering "fucking shit" and a snap of my finger to quell the stuttering. I then just say I stutter and lau...

A few months ago I was in the same boat. Im a software professional, so most of my time is spent writing/testing code. My interactions with others are limited to a daily standup in which I have to spe...

My stutter made me dread waking up everyday in all of my years of school. I was terrified to just say "here" when the teacher was doing the morning attendance. I have been made fun of by fellow studen...

I hate it so much to be honest. I mean I tried to get used to it since it’s apart of me but it never works. Stuttering literally ruined my life. For instance, it made me scared to make new friends, ta...

This is a very difficult question for me to answer. My feelings about my stutter is complicated, and nothing about it is positive. Looking back, my stutter did it's best to ruin my teenage years. I w...

I hate it. Talking is such a big thing, but it's exhausting, embarrassing, and incredibly frustrating. Sometimes I really want to talk about [whatever], but doing so feels like pulling teeth. So ev...

That’s a nice benefit of stuttering. Good listeners are always a plus. Too many people half listen and just think about what they want to say next.. I’d say I benefit from my stutter in that I’m ea...

If you don't already, disclose your stutter right before the interview (I do it after the introduction/formalities.) Bonus points if you tell them that you are actively trying to improve it. I would...

Man that's so rough, I'm really sorry to hear. Do you tell them you stutter beforehand? I honestly don't know too much to say other than finding action to take to give you confidence in your speech. I...

I can see that you are a good sort. And I understood you perfectly and thank you for being so thoughtful. I know that urge to finish a word, I happen to prefer someone finishes the word for me. But a...

Been job searching for two years

Been job searching for two years Hello everyone. This is my first post and I am feeling defeated. I'm 30 years old have worked in digital communications for seven years. I've been searching for a new ...

Don't bother telling your whole team they stutter, it doesn't make any difference. They're a normal person, they just have trouble speaking their mind sometimes. Absolutely don't try to help finish th...

Thank you for the long response, it is very helpful. 1. I do tend to speak quickly so I'll try to keep that in mind. 2. When I said "how can I help" I meant more of how can be I helpful to the situa...

A have a mild stutter. I can be more or less fluent with friends and family, although I always change up my words to avoid if I feel a block coming on.. I guess that’s my technique?? But at work I t...

the letter B fucking gang bangs me. When I feel myself blocking I just take a really deep breath to get the sound out. It typically works fine for me, though people might look at you weird for taking ...
