This has worked for me in the past. Advertise, (don't apologize) and a little joke is a good plan. They know you stutter, so that cat left the barn. Don't be afraid to stop and reset yourself if you n...

Honey I’ve been there. My one advice is just let people know before hand that you stutter. It makes you less self conscious about your stuttering. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to do because I ca...

Well as long as you start with "I have a stutter" or you may notice I have one etc then everything else is a free hit. If you struggle to even get that part out (which of course could happen) then j...

Let me start by saying, you're asking the absolute correct questions. "How can I support him?" and not "how can I cure him?". I can speak from experience, just KNOWING that someone has my back, let...

Only thing I can think of with my marriage is don't speak for him unless he asks you too. When my wife and I first started dating I had to clarify that for her. Part of my self treatment is just makin...

Yes and no. I have hired several people and everyone has their own hang ups. For example, a lot of people have crippling anxiety in interviews. Employers look for a reason to hire. Owning it and sayin...

That's awesome. Yeah, I just discovered this is true also. I just got a job even though I stuttered horribly through the interview. It was painful for both of us and I was embarrassed. I ended up writ...

You can dm me but it's based on how severe we are talking. Every branch goes through the same initial medical process called MEPS. From what I know from other people they may give you a reading test. ...

I’ve actually met him in person before but it wasn’t intentional. We’ve talked but it was a short conversation. Usually my stutter is perfectly fine when my conversations brief. It’s not that I’m hidi...

You seem like a good kid. The more we try to hide who we are the more it's going to own us. Let go of that anxiety. Good luck to you. You deserve better people around your environment...
