Pretending to forget what you were gunna say unconsciously causes us shame. Tell your friends that sometimes you need to just stop and breath because you stutter. Our heart and mind were designed for ...

This ^ you are such a kind professor and they will appreciate your caring approach. For me personally, it helps me to stutter less if the person i am talking to looks me in the eye and doesn’t look aw...

They pulled me into the office and told me someone said I was drinking on the job and that that's something they could fire me over. I let them know about my stutter and how I've literally had it sinc...

Tell them you stutter, then it takes any confusion out of what happened! I highly recommend going back to the same group and asking if you can finish the sentence you were trying to say just for the s...

Oh my gosh, where the heck do you work?! This is ridiculous! The person who suggested to your manager that you’re drunk is an absolute idiot. Any person with half a brain would realize that you have a...

Just do your best to not judge your speech at this time. If you’re not judging your own speech, then it will go a long way in helping your fluency. You can speak, believe that. You’re making yourself ...

I shouldn’t have said force in the first place. It’s more sound manipulation i suppose and pronunciation of sounds more assertive is the word used in what I’ve seen but that’s also paired with a certa...

Not true, it’s so not much forcing it out, it more pushing it out by doing things like making the first sound more aggressive, holding onto the start of a word to smooth it out. I know this because I’...

Forcing out a block and actually being aggressive is actually a factor of speech therapy courses outside of the nhs, as the nhs teach softer, it doesn’t work mostly of course, lowering tone of voice s...

Hi! Thanks for asking. The best thing you can do is ask them, in private, how they'd like to handle it. There may be specific things that trigger their stutter that you could work around or potenti...

Should I tell my teacher about my stutter?

Should I tell my teacher about my stutter? Hi guys. So I have to give a presentation in front of my class in 2 weeks and I'm trying to decide whether I should tell my teacher about my stutter now just...

You know, damn them. Speak whatever you want. Thank God the day of pulling a zipper on someone's mouth hasn't come yet. They must listen and if they don't, they can't shut your mouth (not all people l...

What are some things people do that irritate you when they know you stutter?

What are some things people do that irritate you when they know you stutter? Like Cutting you off, making fun of you, ignoring you etc. For me its when people get mad/annoyed at *YOU* because you're s...

Yeah, I agree with this. I don’t encourage disrespect to me, but I try to be understanding of people who may not be sensitive to my feelings at first....

It was in bad taste, but if this is the extent of the managers misdeeds, contacting HR is a pretty severe reaction. Over-reaction, if I'm being honest. Talk to the manager. Let them know you would ap...

That’s a horrible comment to hear from someone. But I would caution you from believing that so many people think negatively about you. When we stutter we go into an anxious state of mind, which can le...

I think all of us who stutter know this feeling, but is your decision if you let it bother you or not. Whenever I face an interview, I just try relax and try to take it slow, even then if my stutterin...

just smile at them and don't interrupt what they say, but repeat things back at them sometimes! that always makes me feel like they're actually listening...
