hey! I’m so sorry to hear your struggling. I know it’s super uncomfortable when people bring up stuttering and my family also sometimes gets visibly frustrated at me, which I know is wrong on their pa...

Dont practice around your parents. They do not lift you up. In order to overcome stuttering first look at your environment. Is it empowering or bringing you down? Do you have any positive people aro...

Oh - I meant - it's something I've seen sometimes, where a stutterer seemingly doesn't have much of an idea that they can share about their stutter, because it's not something that's been reflected on...

Congrats on restructuring sentences. Even just reading about stuttering helps so much. Good for you!! I agree with the above. If you feel comfortable, tell your mom how her comments are unhelpful. O...

Yes overbearing parents have a huge impact on your speech Moving out was the number one thing I did to improve things for myself...

Yup! Your mom is not helping and she needs to know that. She will either change or not, but hopefully she will. I've been on this earth for well over 40 years and I still don't know how to get over i...

My parents were like this for a long time. I dont think they meant anything malicious by it, but they would become obviously frustrated and say similar things. It all stopped one day when I had enough...

Don't try and get him to slow down Act like stuttering is no issue at all when it happens...

I have a a daughter that stutters and I let her know that it’s okay to stutter and I just ignore it. I never say “slow down” or finish her sentences for her. I let her know that some people just st...

Honestly, the most important thing in my opinion is to let him speak as much as possible. I started stuttering at 5, and I always avoided speaking, which ended up making my stutter worse as I got olde...

1. let him stutter 2. i agree with reading out loud 100% 3. keep trying to get him help. 4. become, both of you, an expert in his stutter and work towards stuttering easily 5. i have not heard of stut...

Especially when with a server. They are working for tips, so if they don't treat you with respect, let them know it. Of course, if they do treat you with respect, let them know it as well......

Hey man I know how much anxiety a stutter can give you but in my experience You just gotta step out and take a leap. I’ve been stuttering since I can remember and it’s really affected every aspect of ...

ok! i never try to finish his sentences, but when i see hes really struggling i do try to remind him to take his time, and that usually helps him. thank you!!...

The single best thing anyone can ever do to me is give me their attention. It just means so much to look back (I tend to break eye contact when stuttering) and see that they're still paying attention....

Hi, current SLP grad student here. 1) As a fellow introvert, I feel your pain about not having many natural opportunities to practice communication. I think it’s very self-aware of you to realize the...

Hey man, I'm 18 years old and I'm still far from mastering my stutter so I don't have much advice. I just wanted to say that you gotta accept it as it is. If you were forced into a call center and can...

Maybe don't help finish the sentence but offer a patient acknowledgement of understanding. Focus on the content of what is being said rather than the means of delivery. Feel free to cut in if the word...

Sorry to hear about all this. Sounds like a really difficult spiral to get out of, and not having that support from family sucks. But hey, at least you have strangers on the internet right? I'm not g...

It's no different from anything else really. I believe that it only limits you as much as you allow it. And u/Armydude19 is right that not everyone in the AF is a pilot lol. In fact, the vast majorit...
