It's a subject best approached and said with some tact. Basically you have to give context and reasoning if you have some. Explain what you mean, or else they may take it to be a sarcastic jab. All de...

I just tell them matter of factly. Most people don't know how to respond and look to you for how they should act. ...

Tell them you stutter and how you would like them to deal with it in a neutral tone. ...

The thing is friends always mock or be nasty to their fellow friends for no reason at all but merely because they want a good laugh. You may notice they might have done the same for another friend and...

Thanks so much, this made my day~ yeah I'm currently in high school, for the most part I usually don't mention my stutter because my teachers and close friends can tell. My english teacher tells me to...

Since you're still in school (high school, I'm assuming?), I really doubt that she has a clue what stuttering is. So, I think you should be an advocate for yourself. Even if it was supposed to be a ha...

Does she know you stutter? If so you might just want to drop her because you don't need people like that in your life. Or if you really want to, try explaining to her that she hurt your feelings, etc...

Don't be afraid of stuttering. As horrible as it is, you'll always be known as the one kid who stutters and that won't go away. Fuckit. Limit the people you associate with to the ones mature enough to...

I think she knows I don't pity her. I treat her like everyone else. I do however think that other people might and it has potentially killed her confidence. I know who she is and what she is capable o...

I have not opened this dialog with her, I probably should. I wasn't sure if that was the best course of action. I will def recommend this sub to her and the podcast though. ...

This has been what I've been working on. When we were younger I was very good about being patient with her and not rushing her. As an adult I want to do better though because in general I have less pa...

Just listen to her. People who have a stutter often have no one to vent to and feel it's too draining for someone to have to listen to us. Sometimes just having one person in our lives who we know doe...

I could suggest you acting as if you're confident but even if it works I doubt it would work so long. What about getting rid of the fear that others would discover your stutter? Be open about it. If y...

This is great in a funny/comeuppance rather than a miraculous fluency way. * I went to a bakery the over the weekend, and asked for a sausage roll. * Unintentionally stammered so it came out as 'ss...

YES. I had someone say this to me. I replied, "No, I have a stutter." I typically don't respond with something like that but through therapy I've been able to work on being more up front about my stut...

I think that may be the reason it bothers me so much is because you're right, it usually is the same person that does the 'just slow down' comment when I'm struggling. And it's like a slight to me be...

My sister occasionally does this even though I can't even remember her having a stutter. It's frustrating because she makes ignorant and insulting comments about my speech as if she knows so much abou...

People finishing my words. Most think they're just being helpful and are well intentioned, but it pisses me the fuck off nearly as much as being laughed at. I'm 40 and have been capable of communicati...

Did you tell her that it bothers you? When my friends do something that annoys me like finishing my sentences, I normally let them know calmly that it bothers me and why. They wouldn't really know oth...

I recommend that consider telling all of her teachers and maybe even her classmates about her stuttering, that way the teachers might adjust the assigment to better suit your daughter and her classmat...
