If your dream is to have a law career, please, please don't let something as trivial as a stutter persuade you to give up now. I'm a stuttering professional and can weigh in here - I went through a s...

But you can't hide the stutter either so you might as well disclose the elephant in the room. I've had nothing but positive experiences after disclosing it in and it has boosted my confidence....

I have the exact problem. I would say my case got really severe around middle school and it's has affected my confidence and making friends etc. Ive tried therapy before and it has helped but it just ...

Was the therapy you had centered around controlling your stutter or becoming more fluent? If so it's not surprising your self esteem plummeted when it didn't work. I saw many different therapists and ...

I don’t do it when I talk with my good friends because it doesn’t matter if I stutter. But when it counts that I talk fluently, I use it (such as for presentations and interviews)....

My stutter is affecting my confidence and my ability to lead a normal life

My stutter is affecting my confidence and my ability to lead a normal life TL;DR - law student struggling with a stutter which has led to serious confidence and mental health issues This is the first...

Me too, I couldn’t bring myself to watch any people who stutter for years. I just couldn’t. In highschool I actually took videos of all my presentations but never once watched them until this year....

If you’re driving in a taxi, this is good advice. People do the same things in bars (the noise is also an excuse). Just do a big font and you won’t have a problem. Plus, as long as you pay, the taxi d...

I get you a 100%! I have a stutter too, I have had a stutter since I started speaking! There are good days where you’re all bubbly and talkative and confident and you actually start conversations, a...

I always prefer when someone finishes my word because suffocating myself trying to get a word out isn’t great and I don’t want to waste the persons time....

I worry too much about what other people think.

I worry too much about what other people think. I'm currently a college student and this is my second semester at this college. Last year, my speech was nearly fluent. I did start stuttering more towa...

Omg I do EXACTLY this!! I have close friends that will 'help' me speak if it gets bad by saying the word for me. If someone wants to finish my sentence and it's not meant maliciously please go ahead...

>if I should try to complete his sentences or just let him speak out Don't. It's impolite. Be patient. That's all....

Dont finish his sentence, just patiently wait. If his struggle is too hard, or you can tell that he wont be able to finish his sentence, you can say something like “i got it”, but be careful with it....

Some won't mind you completing, some won't seem like they mind, but in reality they do, and some will tell you not to complete. I've been all those kinds, you see. ;) These days, I'm mostly unaffect...

Just talk to them normally! I personally hate it when people finish my sentences, but if I've attempted a word or an end of a sentence MULTIPLE times over, then I'm actually mostly okay with someone f...

Like don't do it out of impatience, but sometimes when I struggle to get something out but the message passed across, it's nice to have the receiver nod and integrate what i said in their response to ...

It’s definitely subjective but for me personally, I usually don’t like it when someone finishes my sentences for me. It just makes me feel incompetent. But if the stuttering is bad enough then I’m usu...

Depends how bad my speech is at the time. But ya, pretty much never like other people finishing my sentences even if my speech is real bad. I’m kinda stubborn like that and want to push through myself...

Lol, it’s funny you mention other people saying the word and then you’re fluent. This isn’t totally relevant to people finishing my sentences, but sometimes when I’m checking people out at my job and ...
