Why I Don't Advertise Anymore

Why I Don't Advertise Anymore I've had a significant stutter for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid in speech therapy, my speech therapist always told me to "advertise" that I have a stutter....

If the person looks uncomfortable then I kindly explain that I have a speech impediment. The way you say it evinces confidence as well. If you say, "I'm sorry, I have a speech impediment." That's fi...

Aw hey man, don't be so down on yourself. A lot of stutters have physical tics attached to our disfluency. I, for one, can't keep eye contact, whatsoever. I've tried very hard to train myself out of i...

man that's a really inappropriate comment that that guy made... I used to teach, and when my new students made joking-but-not-okay comments like that, I got really good at taking a deep breath, making...

I think you're right, a lot of people don't know how to deal with a pws. A few weeks ago I had a talk with a few neighbours. One of them has a severe stutter after a big accident 27 years ago. I talk...

Please talk to them. You will be doing yourself a service as well as other stutterers...

Stuttering makes some people uncomfortable. They don't know what to do while you struggle through a word, and they want it to stop. I think that's why kids usually laugh when another kid stutters, a...

You should tell your brother (and your mother) that you feel disrespected when that happens. They are your family and they should respect your feelings. Tell them that you would really appreciate it i...

do talk to the teacher. teachers who are unaware can misunderstand you and can act like jerks because they don't know, others do so regardless of that. either way, better discuss it. it will save your...

Atleast stuttering has 1 good think , it's like the universe you don't know the reason it exists :D ( i stutter too and struggle) .... I have a problem... i'm in a new school and i will have to read t...

Advice I received as a kid

Advice I received as a kid When I was a kid, a great aunt pulled me aside and told me the best advice I've ever received. She said: *I have a stutter, too. Sometimes I try to speak but the words don...

It is very important to be open about your stutter. Don't hide it and don't be ashamed of it. It's a part of who you are! You should always tell your employer that you stutter and if you live in the U...

I actually did say something. This co-worker asked what was wrong and I told her. However, others still did not get it....

That was VERY inconsiderate. I would have said something. Obviously there's nothing you can do about it now, but at the time I would have been like, "Hey, that's not cool. This is something I have to ...

I would have bitched him out, stutter or no stutter....

No. No matter who you are and where you are from. DONT' COMPLETE MY SENTENCE. Just my opinion. People are different....

The only time it really bothers me is when they don't say the right word or phrase. It gets even worse when they decide to keep trying, and I'm still stuck....

I don't mind it when people complete my sentences either, especially if it's someone close to me. It's a relief. They know I stutter, I know I stutter, I don't care if someone else gets out the word b...

In the past I hate it when people finished my sentences. Today I don't like it, but when it happens... so be it. I'll keep on talking and stuttering, haha. ...

I don't mind when my mom or my boyfriend or someone does it, but that's a different situation. Letting people speak for you isn't going to improve your speech or lead you toward accepting it....
