I'm firmly in the 'do not finish my words' camp. There isn't one single reason. A lot are mentioned here in the comments already, and honestly I'm really excited to see that. It's a complex thing. Man...

Depends on the person. My friends usually know what I'm going to say so I don't mind. I find that strangers will get it wrong fairly often though, which is annoying because I have to stop, correct the...

I don't say anything to people I just met about finishing my words, but I will if we talk for an extended period of time. And at work, I make it perfectly clear it's not ok to do. Being in a professio...

I hate it when people finish my words for me. It's humiliating and embarrassing. Like I was struggling so much the person felt like they had to step in and help me. I find it to be extremely rude. Als...

For myself, I've always found it *at least* mildly annoying when someone steps in as I'm talking and tries to guess the word that I'm trying to say as I'm stuck on it. It turns a normal (for a stutter...

Personally, I absolutely hate it when people finish my words. It's absolutely condescending and patronizing. I've managed to live a long time and communicate without assists, and whoever is listening ...

I think it really depends on the person. Think of stuttering as having a broken leg. Some people are too proud to ask for help if they're climbing the stairs or even take offense to any help. Most peo...

Proper etiquette around someone who stutters?

Proper etiquette around someone who stutters? Hi all, So I was talking to someone yesterday who I had met for the first time and she has a bit of a stutter. I of course don't mind at all, but my ques...

You are a human that effects others. I’m asking that you use that power with care. I hope you do. Best of luck with you journey! ...

When that happens again tell that f*** you have a stutter and that's it!...

A big caveat \- be clear that you mean it will reduce stutter in your particular brain by 50% \- Claims like this are what can damage the field. I don't know your protocol but no one protocol ...

if someone ever makes fun of you call them out on it and tell them there is nothing wrong with you and you don’t need to be treated differently because of it. don’t let people treat you like a puppet...

That's true. I wouldn't have my friends do it for me though, as I think that kinda defeats the purpose of complaining about it. Need to prove that I can do it myself yknow. I slur my words a bit when...

PLEASE call the club management to complain about how you were treated, or have one of your friends who was there that night call on your behalf, if phones are hard for you. If the bouncer treated you...

Next time take a deep breath and very calmly ask to speak with a manager. ask them if they really want to turn someone away for having a disability. Also make sure you review the club wherever you ca...

If a girl shoots you down cuz you stutter, she sucks. Stuttering may be a part of you, but it doesnt define you. People who dont recognize that need to be educated or not be so judgemental. ...

If you get stuck, you can signal to her that you want to continue talking. Maybe raise your hand or something. She'll understand. You can also tell her how you prefer to be treated when you get stuck....

Bro, don’t be embarrassed. I’m a juvenile probation officer and I have to deal with teenagers who talk shit to me all day. Luckily, I can easily talk shit back as they can and I gain their respect. My...

Depends entirely on who is roasting me. If my close friends are laughing I find that it really helps (I have told them that I don’t mind when close friends laugh at it) because it makes me stop and th...

I don't really know what you mean by roasting, but if someone mocks you, says some disparaging comment, whatever, you don't have to have some kind of clever comeback. You can just stare at them for a ...
