I can take criticism and can accept harsh realities, but I think this post is misunderstanding people who stutter altogether. The simple truth is, you can't assign a method or behavior to cope with st...

I'm sorry, but this is a really negative outlook. I have a really bad stutter and I still am extremely successful career wise, I get plenty of invites to parties throughout my lifetime. I've gotten la...

I wish that worked for me. I'm a bartender and introduce myself many times a night and always block. Yet I can say someone else's name whose is the same as mine... That's a slightly different scenario...

That's true but even if you practice saying your name in these situations, it might actually make you more confident because you might have times where you say your name with almost no block and it fe...

For some reason my mind makes me think that it takes too long to say "My name is ___" and people won't listen. I subconsciously have a stigma that people are impatient when really it isn't true but no...

It's nice of you that you wanna know all about it to make him comfortable. The most things are written. Stay calm, keep looking him in the eye. And maybe you mention it if he doesn't? For me it's w...

I advise you to try and act as if it doesn't exist or at least don't pay too much attention to it. Good or bad. Because even when someone tries to tell me its ok, I understand, I suddenly become aware...

I also find that when I block some people (even my SO, or family) say "what?" like I as finished and they didn't hear it and I'd have to start at the beginning. Also usually, for me anyway, hearing ...

We have the same name haha. I've always had so much trouble getting the A down but usually when I introduce myself, I begin with "My name is.." To help me get a flow. Either that or when I'm standing ...

Let him say what he wants to say, my wife sometimes helps me with a word if i have a real bad block but she never cuts me off and starts talking about something else because I have a pause. To me, whe...

First off, props on being a great person! Very nice of you to try and figure out how to make him more comfortable. I would start off by just assuring him that you don't mind and that the stutter is n...

When you're asked your name in class and you give a fake one close to your real one cause it's easier to say

When you're asked your name in class and you give a fake one close to your real one cause it's easier to say Happened to me in class today, no big deal because it was a guest speaker, and people might...

No, it's not a good idea to say it in the bio. That will lower your chances for matches. You should however disclose it before actually meeting up. ...

I don't do Tinder, but if I were to make a bio, I'd only include stuttering if I considered it important to my identity (such as if I were an activist in any way or went to conventions, or anything li...

I was going to say the same thing! I'm 34 and after losing 2 jobs this past year, my speech therapist urged me to let people know that I stutter. Once I started doing that, everything because much eas...

I'm not a parent but I worry about the reading thing too. I actually cried about it often when I was younger thinking I could never be a good mother because of it. I feel very differently now. I hope...

I'm sorry you are going through this. Job hunting for a stutterer can be very difficult. I found it was easier when I started out by telling the interviewer that I stutter. 9 times out of 10 the inter...

Sorry to hear about your job situation, it's never fun to be last person standing. Some good comments here. How bad is your stutter? For me and my block, I've found that consciously slowing down my br...

You could just explain that it took more balls to talk to her because of it and then brush her off to her face and explain that your glad I didn't waste more time and move on. If this intrigues her th...

That's why you need to advertise your stuttering, so people don't get the wrong idea again. ...
