Thanks a ton for replying. It can be tough because many times I feel that I shouldn't have to explain that their behavior is unacceptable. Having to explain to a sibling why they shouldn't mock my stu...

I'd say that accepting yourself as stutterer has nothing to do with how other people treat you. You shouldn't accept that behavior from your family and friends because it's just completely wrong and ...

For sure I tell! At my previous work I didn't tell.... wanna hide it. F! That wasn't smart. Constant busy with hiding it. At this job my boss asked me if I can handle cliënts who stutter, haha. (ment...

I haven't specifically told anyone at work, but I think most people who have spoken to me have figured it out. If they want to ask me about it, I'm not stopping them, but I think people feel uncomfort...

This doesn't really apply to your situation but for everyone else who may read this: Nope. I've worked in retail and hospitals and if I've ever felt like I needed assistance or something (like making...

Honestly, the best thing you could do is ask him if there's anything you can do/how he wants you to handle his stuttering. I could (and will) spout off advice, but in reality every person who stutters...

My mother was always "fixing" me one way or another, it wasn't until I noticed the blocking get worse when I was around her that I figured out my relationship with her was actually the cause. It's a d...

I think you should be more open about your stutter. I recognize a lot in your post. I was also covert and very afraid of certain letters witch I know I block on. Since I be more open about my stutter...

Hi Schmidet, I totally get your frustration. Despite having a very difficult stutter, you seem to have a good attitude and continue to try to progress through school which I commend. It's very good th...

I agree. Address it if it's noticeable and then move on. I find when people address the elephant in the room it's a lot less awkward....

I agree with the above, and I would like to add one thing. Advertise. It will seem very strange, but it can be very empowering. It takes the pressure off you. You stutter, they know it, it's now a muc...

well if you can't seem to focus try to lighten up the self stress, going over your material and having it down pat will probably help. If you know the material cold, It would be one less thing you'll...

I've done that but you're doing the right thing by going at it head on. Edit: head on, apply directly to the forehead....

I'd say just be honest with your parents. It feels so good when you get it off your chest. Being honest about it with everyone can help alleviate anxiety too... Not having to hide....

I agree, everyone (except one..., The hate is strong) i've bothered to tell because the situtation called for it have been very understanding. Sometimes they interrupt me, however annoying that is I c...

Hey dudes, just wanted to share something

Hey dudes, just wanted to share something So I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember, but as of now, it's not holding me back nearly as much as it used to. This might be super trivial knowl...

Thanks for the lengthy response, it was very helpful.I was told today from a family friend who is a HR manager at a big company,that you should advertise it at the beginning of an interview as opposed...

Its a sad situation and a real shame about the fast food worker, but that doesn't have to be you. Even looking around this subreddit you'll see plenty of examples of people pursuing what they want and...

I may well have got lucky, but I've never had much of a problem in interviews with my stutter - I always flag it up at the start, and if I get badly stuck, I'll often make a quick jokey aside ("I hope...

Unfortunately, not everyone understands that communication difficulties exist in adults and that, sometimes, the best thing you can do to help is shut the hell up and let them speak! I don't know if ...
