Yeah I know how you feel but you know what, I just do it anyway and it's good practice. I don't really care what the other person thinks, I only care about if they understand what I'm saying because I...

I definitely agree with a lot of what InfiniteLoopTA is saying. I think people are more willing to talk than we think. We project our own discomfort, and may make up stories that will keep us from h...

He wouldn't get mad because it would have been done a thousand times before, he probably wouldn't care either way. The best thing you can do is act as if it didn't happen at all and keep on talking ab...

I've been there, it's always best to be up front about it. For one, I've found that I stutter far less in front of people I've told in comparison to those I haven't. The name thing can be okay, especi...

Many stutterers feel more relax and reduce their anxiety/discomfort when they mention their stutter. People can hear your stutter but they can sense your state of emotions as well. We give out more bo...

Even though it's always obvious, I have never revealed my stutter...until my last interview. It was for an internship I really wanted, so naturally, I was freaking the fuck out. When I was asked to te...

Be honest with your mother. There's no cure for stuttering, make sure she knows that. If you're comfortable with stuttering around her, just tell her that. Tell her there's nothing wrong with stutter...

This doesn't seem "symmetrical" at all, to me. They don't have a stutter, so your treatment of them doesn't bring about the same effect. They won't really know how you feel, they'll just think you're ...

I definitely get the frustration. I tend to revel in the rare occasions people treat me rudely, though. It usually makes me smile and give a bit of a bewildered "are you serious?" look. I then will tr...
