I don't think anybody knew that I stuttered by the time I was in high school; I was very internalized. That being said, having a teacher openly talk about stuttering in from of my class would have be...

I appreciate this perspective, thanks! I teach high school sophomores, so they would likely be able to understand it. I've never considered being open about it, but can understand how it benefits the ...

I teach at a university. Right now I'm teaching online, via webcam. I'm open about my stuttering and ask my students to let me know if it ever gets in the way. Other than that I talk and stutter openl...

Trying things like meditation in the morning is never bad, but it's difficult to just make yourself relax, and nearly impossible in the moment of panic. So you might just have to learn how to work thr...

WOW. You have a LOT of courage! I admire you! I don't have tips, but maybe talk about it with your kids what someone mention here? ...

For me it works bc it gives me a bit more freedom to have the guts to stutter. Bc they know about it when I advertise. Mostly people react 'Oh, that's okay.' And the conversation goes on. I would ne...

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...

What jokes do you crack during a conversation that addresses your stutter and make the person you're conversing feel less uncomfortable? Whenever I talk to a stranger I just met, or introduced to some...

Great! Reading aloud helps me to this day. If I'm trying to calm myself down about it, or if I try to go the entire day without doing it, I'll read whatever I can see. Air freshener on the toilet? Sur...

My first bf was a good friend of mine before we get a relation. He didn't mind at all. I was also a covert stutterer, but good friends knew about it, also he knew. When I met my second bf I was ope...

Talking to people and telling them I am a person who stutters does help alleviate with the anxiety. But I am choosy on who I tell and depending on the situation. I find that pseudo stutter can be a ...

You're young and so are they. She probably doesn't even know what stuttering is. While it's hard, the best thing to do in this situation is to tell her you have a stuttering problem. Yes, they will in...

It's awkward... true. But don't let it get you. And that's easy to say, I know. But try it. It's their problem if they can't handle it. A year ago my husband and I are watching at the tv and someone ...

I'm 17 and also a stutterer, it's gotten so bad that, I mostly just sit there during class and listen to the class but I never raise my hand, even when I know the answer. It's really stupid. I absolut...

While I totally understand and feel your pain, why didn't you actually tell them you had a stutter? I've learned that whenever I end up stuttering in front of people I newly meet, I'm quick to let the...

Sounds like someone that you shouldn't waste your time with then, no matter how pretty you think she is. Wouldn't be someone you'd end up happy with. Or, if you think it might help, explain to her w...

Hey man, fellow stutter-er here, I've been in the same boat. Sometime my stutter is so bad I just don't speak to anyone. Or if I have too its minimal words. Especially around girls I get the biggest f...

My SLP told me she once had a client who was over 50 years old who finally came to see her because they were sick of feeling like a dishonest person. Their spouse of 20 or so years and children had n...
