Honestly, I know it's hard to believe, but you're not isolated because of your stutter, **you isolate yourself because of your stutter**. It's a fact that took me a long time to realize, and still now...

When I first got to college, I was freaked out by how big it was (Pitt). I thought I had made a huge mistake. But then I joined the student newspaper. Over the course of one or two days, I just went u...

I must concur with my weaselish colleague. Advertise first thing and don't hide it. Own it. They care a lot less then you do. Trust us, go forth, and kick butt. ...

This is good. Likely everyone already knows. Nobody gives a shit but you, OP. If it helps, apologize in advance and own it. Having cues to improvise from is helpful so you can adapt as you go. Don't s...

Here's what I did. Senior year finally came I couldn't hold off on taking business communications any longer(class full of speeches and crap). First day of class during introductions I told everyone t...

I know that it's also not always that easy. I have a hard time doing it. Writing has really helped me assess myself as a person who stutters and try to verbalize and think with more of a focus. If you...

Thank you so much! I think it's a lot easier for me to write about it and face and conquer it than it is for me to take it head on. I was talking to a friend the other day and he asked me about the a...

I totally agree. I was talking to a friend of mine who was diagnosed with PTSD when I realized that. He said he may have been diagnosed, but he hated it as a label because it put him down. He said h...

Okay, thanks for sharing. Up until recently, this was my problem too. In April this year I started getting therapy in a hospital in Germany where I spent 5 weeks at first. In the first two weeks w...

Ah, yes sorry! PWS is People who stutter! I try to avoid phones too, but it's easier for me to talk and stutter in an interview with a random person if they can't see my face. And I'm able to be in m...

You might just be one voice, but I'm sure there are many others who will see the piece the same way that you do, and I want to make it available to all audiences. When I get a chance, I will take a fi...

I totally get what you mean and where you're coming from now. Thank you for clarifying that. I must not have wrote as clearly as I thought I did (a very common problem for me). I didn't mean for it ...
