I've gotten that a lot, or "having a case of the Mondays?" or when people phone me and I stutter on the answer, they often ask if now's a good time or if they woke me up. At this point I kind of reve...

I love telling them that I stutter and look at the utter horror on their face when they've realized that they were being an asshole. As a child, during role call, I blocked when it got to my name. T...

I totally understand how you feel. I've dealt with a stutter my entire life, and I too thought that I couldn't make jokes, make witty comments, etc with a stutter. Later I found out that is really all...

Well, do you tell them 'no, I just have a stutter'? That solves the problem. There's a lot of people coming to this sub, because stuttering is a downwards spiraling of anxiety which only gets enhanced...

You can't deal with this for him, I mean maybe you can talk to his teachers, counselor or speech therapist and they can watch for it, but that's a short term solution. Help him understand that his st...

Teach him to own his stutter, accept it and acknowledge it while denying any ill effects. When a stutterer can do that, anyone who belittles them lose all their power. A simply reply of acknowledgem...

Hi /u/Ftus. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm 26 and I stuttered from an early age, around 4, I guess. I still do. I hated to read aloud in front of my class and give a presentation to a large...

This is an interesting one. In my opinion if someone tells you this it will just piss you off, not even just in terms of a stutter. If someone tells you to calm down when you are mad you aren't gonn...
