We do receive some instruction on coumseling, but ultimately, that's not our area of expertise, so we can't really treat the anxiety aspect directly. I do not stutter but have strughled with low self...

Hey buddy, not sure what to say tbh. You need to get people to stop taking the piss. You said you was 20. You have a stutter, it’s annoying, it’s not something to be mocked about. The main thing that...

Be nice to him and don’t treat him like if he’s any different compared to anyone else. Be nice to and maybe try to bring up the conversation or question you ask him before you has to leave? My stutte...

There isn’t a best way. A conversation is a conversation. It’s pretty obvious that when he or she stutters to not make a big deal out of it. You can ask if he has a stutter but say it in a “wow I am s...
