Thanks for your response! It seems that it differs pretty widely for different people. Until I get to know him well enough that I'm comfortable asking what he prefers, I intend to wait and let him fin...

Stutterer for as long as I can remember. It's extremely annoying when people try to finish my words or sentences. It's a lot easier for me if people just wait a few seconds longer till I can get the d...

How can I overcome slight stuttering and slurring while speaking in my second language (English)?

How can I overcome slight stuttering and slurring while speaking in my second language (English)? I can pronounce almost every single word perfectly when I say them individually, however, I struggle c...

This is exactly why I don't order food in person. Ordering food over the phone is much easier since I write out everything I want to say then read it off....

Oh god, every time i'm ordering a pizza. I love pineapple but words that start with fucking P get me every time. Always end up saying Onion after that long awkward pause that occurs when you realize t...

Causing me to overcompensate in every area of my life because "i have to prove im not an idiot, but opening my mouth confirms it" also i am very accepting of others issues as well. i have huge empath...

Oh god I know this feeling. Sometimes I won't order something just because it's hard to say. Such a defeating feeling....

I try to avoid phoning in orders altogether. The invention of online pizza ordering has improved my world so much. ...

Drive thru/phoning in orders sucks. I can't call my local chinese place at all, they hang up the second I have a hard time with it >.>...

If i'm talking to someone (or a group of people for a presentation) and I hit a major block, i'll let them know that I have a speech impediment. I have found that this is the best way to go because it...

Yeah, pretty much everyone here has suggested talking to him about what he prefers. Would you be comfortable with someone you've only recently met asking you? It seems like something that would be bet...

Thanks! I really appreciate getting everyone's different point of view on this. Everyone really is different so I realize now that it is important to figure out what he as an individual prefers. I wil...

Personally, I prefer it when people tell me the word because otherwise I'm just stood there struggling and feeling like a goon. But this obviously isn't everyone's stance. I suggest you talk to him, j...

Personally, like a couple of people here, I don't mind when people finish a word that I get stuck on. I usually laugh when that happens and naturally say a quick sorry, and carry on. Some people are m...

Yeah, judging from all the great and helpful answers given here, it obviously is very different from person to person. I don't think I know him well enough yet where it would be comfortable (for eithe...

Just act as if the conversation is still going, look away if someone calls your name etc. Maintain eye contact as the conversation dictates. If I wasn't stuttering and was talking normally, would yo...

You'll just need to ask them whether or not they want people to help them out when they're stuck in a word. Some people will get extremely offended if you finish their sentences, personally, I don't c...
