That has to be frustrating. Just spitballing here... Maybe turn it around on the person interrupting you? When they ask you to repeat something "Again? OK, but I want you to know that as a stutterer,...

Use a synonym. There is NO good reason to put yourself through that agony everyday. If the teacher says otherwise, tell them about your stutter or simply…fuck it, say whatever you can. Unfortunately...

If he’s doing it intentionally then you should report him, this happened to me at my old job and it only got worse, other managers would join in and I felt forced to leave, it’s discrimination and it’...

It is absolutely unbelievable that your boss continues to mirror your stutter after you have made it clear that its not something you can control and makes you uncomfortable. The fact that you said "t...

Going to ignore the gaslighting comments above from people who have accepted that they will be treated poorly. NEVER allow anyone to minimize you. We wouldn’t mock someone for something they were born...

I think what you need to do is tell him that you stutter sometimes so then there is no confusion there. Then tell him that when you are in close traffic, such as on city streets, that you want to sta...

(Keep in mind this has been/is a long and winding path with plenty of ups and downs) So, I care a lot less about it. Where as before I would say I was a stutterer (100% of me), now I am a person who h...

I seeked out a speech therapist for two expensive sessions. She taught me tricks around blocking and helped me understand what situations were most triggering for me. I did things that were difficult ...

I don't suggest avoidances from anything simply bc of your stuttering but I agree upon your discontents with toxic positivity on this sub. But first, you can web-socialize with others which is also p...

Interview adjustments Hey everyone, I am looking for some advice regarding interviews. What sort of adjustments do you request when doing interviews? I had an interview yesterday and I mentioned in...

My husband stutters. My main advice is to remember that you aren’t his mom or his speech therapist. With my husband, when we were dating, I had to recognize that however he wanted to handle things was...
