Talk to her. Do it. Please. For me. For anybody reading this who was/is a shut-in who spent/spends most of their time in their dorm/room/apartment doing homework, worrying about your speech, reading...

You should have told the waiter to shut up and wait for your order. It's their job. You should come to the point where you could do that and be confident in your speech. ...

I think once he saw that it wasn't something within my control he felt pretty shitty. It wasn't my intention, and at least he has shown remorse for it (unlike other people I've encountered). I was jus...

He sounds insensitive in my opinion. I've never been in your position but you could maybe have a serious discussion with him? I've realised once you educate people on stuttering they start to understa...

Honestly dude, do everything yourself. Having your girlfriend, mother, sister, friend, whatever do stuff for you is just going to hold you back even more. Now, I don't know how bad your stutter actu...

Definitely agree with you on making the call right away! I find the anticipation is usually worse than actually making the call. I usually build it too much in my head and think: "What if they judge m...

Will she always be there to do that for you? Sooner or later, you may need to speak up for yourself. Perhaps it might be better to get in the habit now?...

I did it anyway. It made me stronger and helped my speech. If a customer gives you a hard time just politely and confidently say "No, I have a speech disfluency" and continue your sentence....

Great points below! I just want to offer my two cents as someone who stutters too: First of all, I don't think there's anything "unprofessional" or "wrong" with simply stuttering. It doesn't make us ...

Thank you, this is advice I really needed. I've had a hard time telling people I have a stutter without making a conversation awkward. I will definitely be using that like to start out all presentat...

The book [Stuttering is Cool](http://www.stutteringiscool.com/stuttering-is-cool-book/) recommends saying at the beginning of a presentation that you're a person who stutters. I seem to have misplaced...

If ever I stutter and they can see me and it goes on for over 30 seconds (including mouth disfigurement) I just stop talking and say a random word like "banana" then walk away. Let them deal with the ...

I've noticed many people say not to complete a stutterer's sentence. This might be true for many but not for all. Every stutterer is different. I for one actually like it when people complete my sente...

I think a key principle is *don't make it into a disability when it doesn't have to be*, and from what I see, you've been doing a pretty good job in that area. When you're not sure what the accepted b...

I guess the key things are don't complete her sentences for her. You might think you're helping, but you're not. Also, you shouldn't have a rushing body language so avoid doing things such as tapping ...

also, _ask her_. i don't think i've ever experienced people asking me what _i_ would like. it's always been me (sometimes) telling (some) people to not make suggestions/complete my sentences. most peo...
