I'm not covert at all about the stuttering. I think it helps when other people know you have issues with speaking. At least for me they are more lenient when I just have a complete block, and will t...

Uh. I've dated many women. I've had relationships. I stutter, sometimes very badly. The two aren't related, really. The chicks who would turn you down for a stutter aren't worth your time. What do...

I haven't seen that on here..? I have seen people say your true statement "you are in control of how you feel about how others react to your stutter." If you are open with people, and explain that yo...

Well mate, you decide what your life is going to look like. You can dwell over it and live your life waiting for death, or try to change your mindset. I know that's much easier said than done, but c...

There is no cure for stuttering. However there are lots of well-researched practices and techniques for smoothing things out and reducing the effect it has on your communication. I have a bachelor's d...

What people don't ever take advantage of is mock interviews. If your college offers them, DO THEM. They'll be able to tell you what you should say as well. In my opinion, just get the elephant out of...

That sucks, but it's great you told him off, even after stuttering. Shows a lot of self respect to do that, even when you're feeling like shit. I would look into therapy. Real therapy, not the pointle...
