It’s interesting with me. I don’t really have a stutter if it’s a one-on-one conversation, but short sentences with a lot of people around triggers it. Long sentences where people don’t reply almost n...

Hey, i feel you. I don’t think people especially professors will make fun of you. I study myself and i am also afraid of asking questions in class. Maybe just try to talk to students next to you and a...

For me it made the whole difference. You might be shocked to find out how much of the anxiety comes from that desire to hide the stutter or to avoid stuttering in order to not look "weird". Once it's ...

Mentioning that I have a stutter will certainly take a bit of the pressure off, it's a good idea. I think this is especially helpful in certain environments. For other environments like clubbing where...

Yup, group conversations are the worst. It kinda feels like everyone wants to speak at the same time, and everyone is eager for the person currently speaking to stop talking so they can say what they ...

Does anyone else find it difficult to talk within a group setting or am I just being too polite?

Does anyone else find it difficult to talk within a group setting or am I just being too polite? Hello! I have been stuttering for over 20 years. It is started six months before I went to kindergarten...

Yes, most definitely. Sometimes you want to engage in a group conversation, but can't interject because the stutter stops your speaking, and then the moment is lost. I've felt that all the time. Howev...

The whole thing may be intimidating for them also, since they are new to the school also. Everyone wants to meet a lot of people. Make lots of friends, that makes bullies more reluctant. And go to man...

Lol ty. Idk if you ever saw the video on here but i performed in a talent show at my high school and i wasnt worried about that but talking face to face to 30 people is much more intimidating to me, i...

Yeah I think this is it tbh. In groups you can barely get in a word and the pace of conversation is just too damn high. By the time I try and say something on the spot I'm already blocking....

I went to last year's and it was a really cool experience. The first day is such a sensory overload from meeting so many stutterers. You'll sleep like a baby after that day, hah. It's really strange b...

Small group of people I'm comfortable with? Hell yeah I'm social. Large gatherings full of people I don't know? You can find me at the nearest corner, alone with my phone....

Yeah I'm the same! Talking with friends or family 1 on 1 I talk a lot. But I'm a group it's almost like I'm physically unable to speak...

Pretty antisocial, I have trouble starting conversations with people, but once someone else starts one I like to think I can hold one pretty well. And usually in groups for school or something, I can ...

Do anyone have a harder time talking when there's a lot a noises around?

Do anyone have a harder time talking when there's a lot a noises around? When it's quiet I can manage to talk without stuttering too much but when I'm at a concert for example I can't talk at all it's...

Suggestions for choral activity

Suggestions for choral activity We are very lucky to have a supportive teacher. My son has been doing oral presentations in class and so far he feels really good about communicating successfully. Wh...

Just wondering. How do you handle "big corporate meetings", since you've probably been through a lot of them. One of my biggest fears in life is, or should I say was speaking in front of more than 3 p...

Please share your dating experiences, tips and advice I'm in college and never dated before in my life because of the fear of the impression my stutter would create. However recently, I've been overco...
