It varies tremendously. As I wrote in a thread it can be non existent to mildly frustrating. I think the majority of mine is self affliction and anxiety as when I am drunk friends of mine have comment...

I'm about to graduate medical school and I stutter in front of patients, teachers, and peers. When I do stutter, I mention that I stutter in a confident, brief way and move on. In my estimation, that ...

Fluency isn't what they mean by excellent communication skills. When they ask for excellent communication skills, they're not thinking about stutterers, theyre thinking about the fluent people with ho...

Shun them out of your life when you can. I know that they're family, your blood, but family doesn't treat you that way....

Then let him crack jokes, nobody's stopping him. I make fun of myself all the time, and my friends die laughing too. I don't give a fuck. Just the other day I was stuttering on "are" and by the time ...

I think you need to tell them. Or if you don't tell the class, at least let your professor know so that he grades you fairly....

Stutter worsens if you are nervous. I personally find letting the audience know beforehand helps a lot because you're no longer worried about hiding your stutter or limiting it during your presentatio...

I get fucking pissed when someone goes out of their way to try to "help" me for their own personal gain. Usually it's in public when I'm around other people, and someone I know will like make either a...

Never had this happen. Me and my friends have an unspoken agreement that they only 'help' if A) its a particularly bad block AND B) I am talking to a 3rd party (waiter or whatnot). Otherwise, listen...

Unsolicited Comfort

Unsolicited Comfort I want to know the stuttering community's thoughts on this situation. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to a friend and I stuttered. This was not the first time I stuttered aro...

Put your focus on what you want to say and not how you're going to say it. You can't control if it's going to be easy or tough in terms of speech, so just keep your mind on your answers and not on you...

Depends on the person, I'd say ask questions about it, if he brings it up. If he doesn't than don't worry about. As for finishing sentences, I'd say your safest bet is not to do that. :) ...

I handle myself decently imo at parties. Drinking isn't a part of my social strategy as I don't partake. Generally at parties I'm too focused on the people I'm talking to or having people around me en...

Took me years to realize just being honest is the way to go. If you find yourself in a block just say casually, "I don't know if you know but I stutter." It's much big of a deal for you than it is fo...

I would but despite that the person stutters, I for some reason feel guilty for people who stutter just like me. I actually find it hard to listen to what they have to say but I remember at the same t...

I only told someone that I stuttered before I started a conversation that was sort of an interview just over a week ago and you don't understand how amazing it was. I never wanted to tell anyone that ...

That makes so much sense. Thanks for the tip. Having to "prove" I had a stutter to someone seemed like a really scary task. With someone who already knows what to look for, I feel like it would be les...
