Ignore them as much as possible given the context. That's probably the best way to avoid wasting resources. If you're in the position to do so, you could reprimand them, but that'll probably not be w...

Welcome to the Community OP! I found the best way I cope is exactly what you did, be open about your stutter - Let the person know who you are talking to that you have a speech impediment, then a norm...

I have dealt with this. I'm 37. I no longer stutter, but I stuttered until I was 36. Always talk at a rate that is comfortable for you. Get used it. Don't rush your speech for anyone. If she just loo...

Today I smashed it

Today I smashed it My background: I have had a stammer since I was 4yrs old. I apparently stopped talking altogether when it started and went through 12 years of speech therapy. The problem with me,...

Tell them how you feel. Tell them it helps your speech when they're patient. Also sorry they put you in a tough financial situation. Are they taking advantage of you?...

Unlike some of these other comments, I think you need to bone up on your social skills. Exceling at work is about more than being good at your job. It's about fitting the culture, getting along with y...

Ah, the money issue. I hate that. I absolutely hate that some people on the planet can't get the help or support they need just because of _money_. But I digress, I guess. You should open up about yo...

Like any other social situation, depends on the context. In casual settings, I usually just roll with it and don't acknowledge it more than I have to. If I meet someone in a social setting and they gi...

Hi little brother. I'm 27, a doctor, specialising currently. I know what you're going through. Firstly I want you to know that you aren't alone. It's tough to be laughed at, but it's more important to...

Just remember that kids can be ruthlessly cruel at times, and that your peers will not be as harsh on you as they get older and mature. Your best defense is just to show everyone it doesn't bother yo...

Your 13 and using better grammar then most adults. I've had auditoriums laugh at me, just keep talking eventually they will shut up and realize what your saying is more important then how you say it. ...

Hey there buddy! :) 40-year-old stutterer here. First off, please talk to your teacher(s) and explain to them that you stutter - if you haven't already, that is. It doesn't sound like they're complet...

You can still live a rewarding life, I am proof of it. Figure out what you want in life. Family/ Wife? House? Job? Friends? Wife - Focus on things you can to improve yourself besides your speech. Be...

First year college student with a stutter

First year college student with a stutter I'm a first year college student and I mostly stutter when talking to people who work at the college. I often try to talk with fluency but if I stutter I stop...

yeah at one point I was really tempted to ask the lady what any of this had to do with my stuttering, but I just went with it. I will follow your advice about appealing if needed. Thanks!...

Dude you need to set the boundaries from day one.Let people know from the get go you won't tolerate that shit. Fuck being "respectful and polite". Get aggressive and go on the offensive. Even if that...

Have you tried being angry. I'm fluent when i'm emotional as fuck. When i'm angry i talk faster and better then a comedian with adhd. Let people know your serious. Also get better friends :)...

I fear retaliation, but I suppose a "Are you done?" would suffice, no? I wouldn't know how to stand up for myself respectfully and in a polite manner. ...

In my first years of high school I didn't tell anybody I stuttered. What a hell that was, every lesson I would be really nervous whether my the teacher was gonna ask me to read an answer. After that I...
