This is not ok, but be cautious ascribing malice to what could better be explained by nerves. People get nervous when they encounter a stutterer and don't understand what is going on, so they try to...

Remember that using stuttering reduction techniques takes a ton of effort. He will not always want to use them, and that's his choice. He may use them all day at school, but when he gets home, he's ju...

>**I usually just wait with a smile for him to finish.** Is there anything at home I can do to help him more? Nope, that's enough. :) The sooner he learns that people can wait, the better. You mi...

Sometimes when I talk to people I tell them beforehand that I have a stutter, and then it becomes much easier to talk to them. This depends on how severe you stutter is.....I can't say if it helps eve...

Can't even talk to parents

Can't even talk to parents This is so frustrating , I can't even communicate with the people close to me. It all gets so frustrating at times. It's not that , my parents rush me or anything , they are...

I used to be like this. But I realized that, frankly, there isn’t enough room in your heart for hatred, no matter how well earned. They aren’t worth your hatred. Let it go....

Many times random people laughing or saying things like, “Did you forget your name”, are ignorant of your disorder. They may feel awkward and never been in that situation. You have to take it with a...

I completely agree. Unless they're being wildly obnoxious and continue to belittle you after you explain it, just let it go. Stuttering isn't a super well-known condition, some people are bound to mis...

Like, someone you just met and doesn't know you? They're probably just being playful and didn't mean to pinch a nerve. Or someone who knows you're a stutterer and is bullying you? That's a shitty lo...

Communication skills != perfect fluency. Literally the worst communication skills I've ever seen have come from people who don't stutter. Make your stutter work for you. "Yeah, I stutter, but that mea...

I don't understand why you have to tell them that you stutter. I never tell people, when i'm having a conversation, that i stutter. Only if they ask me, then i'll gladly explain to them that i do st...

Seems like they are just trying to show you it's Ok, but overdoing it as you say. Maybe just talk to them after class and tell them you'd prefer to just be treated normal lol...

This is exactly what you have to do. This is my senior year at uni and when I stutter when talking to someone, I don't explain why it happens. Usually people don't interrupt, and if they ask why I am ...

Thanks for this post - good things can happen when you look at the positive sides of the stutter and openly share your experiences. I always try to mention my stutter in the first few minutes of a jo...

I also sometimes tell people that I stutter before I talk, and it becomes much easier to deal with. My stutter worsens with social anxiety, so with the social anxiety away, I can talk with ease. The o...

I've also noticed how it gets much better when I tell the friends that I'm with that I'm struggling with stuttering in the current situation. It sort of releases this intense "fear" or anxiety of sta...
