I can understand this concern, but in a way it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you believe that a stutterer can't command respect, then that filters through into your body language and all of t...

It makes me really happy to see that you can have a job speaking to people while having this problem. I'm consistently afraid that it'll get worse and hinder my ability to be in any kind of leadership...

When I have a lot on my plate, any professional (work or school) environment will make me stutter. My stress makes my anxiety rise and chokes me from the inside so that I can't get any words out. Spea...

17 years old, I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember. just need to let some things out I've been stuttering for so long, and have been trying for a while now to stop. I'm so embarrassed ab...

This hit the nail on the head. This matches with everything I've experienced. The funniest (not humorous) part about stuttering is that the more you try to avoid it, the more likely you are to stutter...

i think the situations that are the worst to be in when stuttering are those that deal with a lot of emotion, or in which social bridges are being built. i've had a hard time with stuttering when talk...

Engaging in conversation is the hardest part for me. Once I'm "in", I feel very confident and do not stutter at all. But there are people to which I really stutter very badly. I found out recently tha...

When I was in speech therapy I did something like this with my speech therapist, but we never stuttered; we just asked random people questions on what they knew about stuttering. We made a survey and...

Yeah, nothing like being hung up on just as you're about to get the word out. I usually avoid the phone like the plague. However, last week my grandma was in the hospital five hours away from me so I ...

Actually, I forgot to mention the phone in my comment, but I think it's probably the worst for me as well, except possibly reading aloud (although, interestingly enough, I think reading aloud over the...

The situation that causes the most anxiety for me is using the phone. I completely dread having to make doctor appointments, hair appointments, even calling friends. When I worked at a pizza place in ...

First of all, this isn't offensive at all. I don't even have a follow-up to that because I can't see what part of this could possibly offend anyone. So, to get started, obviously, the more people pay...

I really never even considered telling people that I stutter directly (without them finding out on their own) until my therapist brought it up as a technique to help reduce stress. It doesn't necessa...

Hi, i have the exact same situation. I stutter in job interviews and presentations. Before starting my interview for the current job that i am in, i told the panel that "See normally i don't stammer,...

When I speak, I often "disclose" that I have a stutter to the group I'm speaking to. That way I get any nervousness or anxiousness about the moment out of the way because they are expecting it to happ...

Hey man I have been at this major research center for stuttering all day today and just saw a big presentation about what real research shows about stuttering. According to these guys (who have been t...

I've had similar thoughts, but I think you notice your stutter less the more messed up you get. So you can't judge it as well, you know? A lot of stuttering has to do with the mental aspect and anxiet...

I feel you man, stuttering tends to make one really introverted because you can never mess up speaking to yourself :) and that's fine! I took a lot of drama and public speaking classes as a kid to h...
