I personally cant ask out/meet someone on a date until i've told them I stutter (and make sure they understand it isn't just a minor detail)....

I have not told anyone yet that I stutter, but I plan to do so soon, since it would remove a lot of the pressure. I just don't know how to take the the big step....

I think it got much easier but it's partially because I also opened up a lot and just started talking openly about it. If you show people that you're comfortable with your speech, they'll be comfortab...

Hi there! I'm a person who stutters (probably a 7/10) who is currently studying to become a preschool teacher -- needless to say, I'm around children a lot and need to explain things to them quite a b...

I thought I was the only one. For the most part, it bothers me because I start feeling the struggle of how hard it can be to get some words out. When I see the physical strain that they are having, I...

What type of stutter am I?

What type of stutter am I? I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember (im 20). Its weird for me. Growing up I stuttered a shit ton and everyone in class knew I had a speech problem. Slowly tra...
