The best advice i can give is to try being comfortable in the conversation(or at least not reacting to it much). The other person won't pay attention to it much. Retain eye contact as best you can. Th...

Can't agree more! IMO we should differentiate "severity" as a speaker 'perception and severity from the listener's point of view....

We have to admit that's it's difficult to have a stuttering. Depending of the severity of the symptoms it becomes more and more difficult. But we have to live, we have to not care if someone makes fun...

I'm 44 and have battled it my entire life. I have felt absolutely humiliated more times then I could count and wanted to crawl in a hole and hide. Then other days I accept myself for who I am and ma...

I would say that mine is fairly severe. I can control it sometimes but then it rears it's ugly head again at humiliating times. I've heard every joke and comment in the book. All I can do is keep fi...

I wouldn’t call it severe but I do stammer 60% of the time but nothing to stop my life. lol...

Public Humiliation

Public Humiliation I'm 44 and dealt with stammering/stuttering all my life.Most of the times I can manage. I'm in outside sales and usually do ok one on one a with a customer or co-worker. I'm usually...

update: I tried looking for it and I cant find it. maybe it was deleted. I found this one, however. 16% identified as severe https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/s/ljbZePd7HM...

How does one define “severe”? Stuttering is more than the disruptions in speech. I have treated clients who have very few dysfluencies but it impacts their self esteem and overall function to the po...

no I dont see it in that collection. It was similar to the first post, where it was a poll format. but it was 3 or 4 categories like mild, moderate, severe, etc. I distinctly remember it....

Mine’s so mild it’s pretty much none existent these days. But in early adulthood it was quite bad and affected me deeply, so it’s a subject close to my heart. That’s why I’m interested in these discu...

Certain sounds get me. I know Ds, Bs are always tough. I would consider myself a mild stutterer as I am able to be fluent if I slow down my speech. Its when im on conference calls and people are ex...

I have a mild one but I have bad days and good days. Some days I can’t go more than 5 words without stuttering....

I have a severe stutter. You say you sometimes feel excluded from this community. Well, I have been felt excluded from the society all my life, since i was a child. I would like to say my stutter is m...

I’m a lot better than I used to be, however having a significant one for a lot of my developmental years kinda left me with a really strange cadence and otherwise weird way of talking. The stutter its...

IMO, severity of stuttering is not measurable and mostly subjective. I saw people with mild (to me at least) stuttering. But their subjective feeling was much worse because their level of self expecta...

Is the poll you are referring to in [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/18y9qbx/megacollection_i_summed_up_all_the_polls_in_this/) **Mega -poll** post?...

A while back, there was a poll on this sub. About 25% said they were severe stutterers....

There were times in my life when I would have said my stuttering was severe, but not anymore. Now I'd say it's moderate, with some more fluent days/situations and some less fluent days/situations. Usu...

Mines probably severe, it only started back in May after a really bad dizzy spell and almost fainting at work . I now can not speak without the stutter and without headaches from trying to talk....
