u/ihtrma makes the best points. Every serious relationship I've had at one point there has to be the talk. My mom is the most patient listener when I'm having a block. She doesn't ignore it but let's ...

Pretty much the main few things, most of them you have already. - Finishing off a sentence is a sin. The feeling is indescribable. It's probably the worst feeling I've experienced. It just makes you ...

meh, every one is different. as long as your reaction comes from a place of respect its the right reaction. if you do happen to react in a way he doesnt like then it is on him to tell you and yall n...

Well, I don't think you need to do something specific. Just act like it's normal. If s/he has bad block, just let him/her get through it. I know my ex-gf never paid much attention to it, and I was h...

Just be open about it. There's no point of hiding it, especially if it's a LTR and not just a hookup. Of the people I've dated, they mostly found it to be cute in like a weird way. It's great to find...

23 year old male here, been with my girlfriend for nearly a year. I've always been very resentful about the fact that I have a stutter. Background: I didn't so much get bullied, but picked on becaus...

I'm dealing with this now, man. 20year old male, trying to get a gf and something I have realized/explored intently is the fact that fear is in the mind and stuttering too, is in the mind. Somewhere a...

I'm a life long stutterer in my 40s. It took me far too long to realize that trying to hide it is more than useless, it's counterproductive. She'll find out eventually and be stunned, confused and get...

Help getting a girlfriend

Help getting a girlfriend I'm 17 and i've missed like 3-4 opportunities of getting a gf. My stutter, insecurity, low self steem and 0 commitment have been my biggest obstacles for the last 2 years. M...

Thanks for your answer. My head has this way about it that I always seem to think back on bad times with my speech. Especially whenever things get good. My mind was half in that mindset today. I basi...

This could actually be very helpful if you make right mindset. Tell yourself that after those two weeks chances are you will never see those people again, so just dont give a shit. Just talk as you...

Hi, yes it might be a good idea to mention it in a light hearted way. I sometimes drop it in to conversation if I just had a bad stammer. Just make sure you don't mention it in a negative way, 'ok I ...

Yep, I agree. If anything getting it out in the air will make you feel more comfortable,and thus less likely to stutter more. And honestly, if phone interviews make you nervous, see if you can't do ...

I think opening the conversation with a disclaimer might be a good idea. It's not like your stutter is going to stay a secret, they're going to find out eventually. Probably sooner than later. Openin...

It seems to be different for everybody. For instance, I can speak in front of very large groups of complete strangers with barely a stutter. I've had friends I've known for a while that never even kne...

Great book. Recommend it to everyone. I dont know how much logotherapy is used today but the example you gave I think is mostly on point. I havent heard of paradoxical intent, but Joe Sheehan spoke ab...

I had a moderate to severe case of covert stuttering through college (I still do, I'm just far less covert and have more control - thanks, speech therapist). I hid it as best I could and it caused me...

Wow I only found this subreddit today too, that's weird! Yeah I'd love to offer some advice! I'll try to organise the answers the best I can. First of all, our situations seem to be very similar. I'...

> I'm also going to sit for interviews with startups where they can't afford to have someone like me. This is a fallacy. If they need you they need you. Whether or not you stutter is a secondary...

If you really have a severe stutter, how do you think you're going to hide it when they do hire you? When they figure it out then, I can assure you they won't be happy with the bait and switch you pul...
