I'd suggest doing what makes you comfortable. You can always message saying "Oh btw, for my own benefit, I just want to say I have a stutter" (roughly what I say before a presentation). Unless you ...

Develop a script. You're going to asked a lot of the same questions and if you can work on pre-planned phrases to answer that, you may find that easier. Of course, you will have the occasional surpris...

I can assure you that MOST people will grow out of this behavior as you get older. I haven't had anyone say something that rude to me about stuttering once I graduated high school. Kids are NOT very u...

Seriously tho, I have a three strike rule, and she is on her third strike. Why i have this is because I'm trying to stop getting angry 24/7. I deal with people like her everyday, and I am just about d...

Try to write down basic stuff you know they will probably ask you . I have found sometimes it is better to read something versus thinking off the top of my head. Maybe tell the person btw “Hi my...

I think your parents did the right thing by not mentioning it. It think by mentioning it you constantly remind the person that he stutters which I think can create a long term problem because then ...

I don’t want to stutter but I can’t stand when people want to help me not stutter. Can anyone relate?

I'm sorry you had to deal with such ignorance. Next time you deal with that kind of cheap, tell them that stuttering is a disability and ask them if they would make fun of someone in a wheelchair or w...

Why would you be embarrassed? It is a part of you. Earlier you accept the truth the better it is. You have to learn to live with it. Once you tell it to people, they will be more understanding towards...

Now if you only stutter at presentations, that happens to everyone, dont worry. But if you have stuttering normally too, that may be a problem. Laughing it off isnt a very nice way of handling it. Eve...

Don’t fear it, but look at it as an opportunity to practice your speech and see better where your strengths and weaknesses are. You will get comfortable once you develop experience. Yes, there are shi...

Yeah, my advice would be to make sure the friends that you are with know about your stutter and when new people come into the mix I have been guilty of silence when a new person comes, but it just tak...

I work a cashier/customer service job and something that has helped me a lot personally is making sure that everyone I work with know that I have a stutter so that my coworkers are understanding and h...

I am so sorry that kids were mean and bullied you. Your teachers should have put a stop to it. The kids who teased me (porky pig was a popular because I am also overweight) didn't really stop till I a...

I get you, but I just think that when they do it, they are trying to help. If I'm really struggling and someone finishes my sentence, I usually just say "yeah thanks". If they do it a lot, I'll say ...

My advice is either a) Just tell them they are jerks and should just stop. A lot of times, people don't realize that what they are saying is actually hurtful and it's a joke. Try to assume the best a...

Middle school and high school are THE WORST. Just do your best to survive and keep your mental health intact. Once you move on to college and real life this kind of thing will be way better because 1....

If they are your "friends", talk to them one by one and explain to them that they are hurting your feelings. Tell them you would like them to stop teasing you. If they are bullies, ask a teacher or an...

Yeah, I see your point. I totally get that people are trying to help but if you're trying to express yourself or explain something it's not always that helpful....

People are assholes. I've been there, I know it sucks. Maybe stop hanging out with them? You can't control other people's behavior, only your own....
