my suggestions: feel the fear, it won't kill you. walk through it. stutter, let them hear you. teach others about what makes you different and that there is nothing wrong with it. and don't forget to ...

I agree! If I didn’t know my supervisor the way I did, I would have definitely reconsidered my actions. He’s a nice guy, but his image of me is what bothered me. I want to teach people that our disa...

Yes and it was aways the worst thing ever. Some of my teachers would allow me to refuse, but most did not. Or that whole "go around the room" and read thing. Ugh. But yeah it really sucks. Because a ...

I completely understand, believe me, I've had my stutter for 44 years. One thing I would do is tell your parents that their mocking/teasing is not appropriate nor would I allow it with my parents. Y...

I wish I could relate, mine is clearly not fake lol. But it's a good oportunity to educate those people. As they are the ones getting the topic, they won't mind a brief explanation about how stutter ...

First step asume you are going to stutter in front of them. There is nothing wrong about it, and if they are family, they probably already know ;). The big milestone is learning to be confortable wit...

Tell the interviewer btw I have a slight speech impediment so please maintain eye contact with me event that I block. Do this and 90% of your apprehension will melt like snow in July I promise...

I'm 35. I've stuttered since I was 3. The only person who can make you feel small is you, my friend. No one else can get inside your head and drag you down. Confidence can make up for a paucity of el...

I used to be so embarrassed about my stutter when I was younger. After my second round of speech therapy, I embraced my stutter a lot since then and I find it easier to let people know I have a stutte...

What should be encouraged is for stutters TO talk in situations like that. But make it known that nobody will judge them. That will help out a lot. To be so encased in a shell and be told it’s okay to...

Hi! I’ve been a server many times, I have a fairly bad stutter, and as long as you are charming, competent and hard working, it’s not a problem and I don’t tell them. They figure it out on their own, ...

Dear OP, Please don’t give up. I know it’s hard; I’ve been there too. But hey, we stutterers are an obstinate lot, aren’t we? We’ll say what we want to say even if our larynges tell us we can’t. I k...

Ohh I understand your pain so much! I work in an environment where I have to introduce myself on a daily basis..and I work with people 80% of my time at work. I haven't found a miracle way of saying m...

Immediately. The longer you wait the harder it’s going to be. It’s unfair to her as well to hide something like that....

I do have a stutter and have had one my entire life. I have found the best method for me is to make myself heard and encourage others to do so. Thank your for your comments....

Honestly I know you’re trying to be ‘encouraging’ but this is so dismissive and patronising and you should probably delete it as it doesn’t belong in this subreddit. The other long listed reply says e...

Something that's helped me is being the one asking the question. I normally just start by saying "I didn't catch your name, I'm Nikhil." Definitely helpful for me. Even if you do get a bit stuck, it ...

I was pretty shocked when you wrote you're 14 at the end. You're clearly very intelligent and mature, especially for a 14 year old. You articulate the struggle so well and if you can write and think l...

Then say it. Your voices deserve to be heard and if you never speak, no one will ever hear it. When others speak over you, or finish your sentences, or don't listen - make them listen. Keep Speaking...

that probably could be the reason. but I just thought the kid would understand better if its parent or sm1 it's close to would explain. Instead of expecting sm1 to step in for me, I guess it's better ...
