When you have a block.. break off on that conversation just to say you have a stutter. And then try to resume. Sometimes that informs people to be patient, and they may even take more initiative on ma...

Sometimes you have to just let it out. I don't begrudge a person their anger, as long as they don't curse themselves for stuttering. It's no crime to stutter. I've encountered some who think I'm rude...

I’m a receptionist and have a lot of coping mechanisms and strategies to help me get though speech blocks and if I slip up people always say “woah calm down, it’s okay” like shut up ...

So people should just guess whether their question has been asked before? If you don’t stutter, you probably won’t have any idea how common it is to be asked something like that. In my opinion, as l...

I can see how that question and those like it get old though. For every person to ask that question once, people who stutter frequently will be asked that question 50-100 times just based on the perce...

I just graduated from college, and sort of remember my orientation. From my experience I feel like half of the day was just listening to other people talk, or meeting with advisors. The other half w...

It's pretty rare for a stutter to develop at this age but not unheard of. Many people say their stutter is affected by their sleep. First thing I would do is seek out a speech therapist. I dont know...

If people laugh at your stutter that says more about them than about you. Today someone hung up on me at work too. But that doesn't make me an *insert juvenile profanity*. Instead I regrouped and cal...

My psychiatrist told me to "vaccinate" a group of people (such as a class) by stuttering the first time you meet them, so they already know you stutter and will be mindful in the future when you do! ...

im 36 years old..have always had a severe stutter, around my late 20s i finally had enough of it. Was tired of running away from it, letting it control my life, making me avoid things i needed to do ...

I disagree with your disagreement. I’m 32 and I let my stutter dictate almost every aspect of my life. Job, relationships, activities, heck even ordering food. Thinking that people care about your st...
