 I stutter often but I can be pretty fluent when I'm calling someone out. After all the bullying I withstood as a kid.  I don't often comment! But when I do they are long! Ok, confronting people...

That's awesome, man! Standing up for yourself like that is pure boss moves. Keep owning your truth and showing the world that you're a force to be reckoned with, stutter and all. You've got this! 💪...

Victory Had a rare win today. I’m a professor at a decent size public university. I was asked to be on a speakers panel related to my academic and professional experience. There’s maybe 50 students in...

My coworker and I have a speech impediment. I've learned that if either one of us has a stuttering moment, we wait till it's done, and then we continue the conversation as if nothing happened. It's ho...

For the first time — 100% wait and let them finish. On the other hand, I am the opposite kind, I do prefer when people finish it for me, so I don’t have to struggle and waste time, and I told all my...

I was on a job site and I noticed the plumber had a stutter. I overheard him try to explain to the home owner why her ceiling was leaking. He was having a hard time. I wanted to jump in and help but I...

I think this is an excellent summary of the contributions to this thread. There are many never-helpers, a couple of always-helpers, and several who are nuanced relationship-specific-helpers and situat...

Okay, so there are quite a few people here who are very confident in saying that you should never finish sentences for others, that it's extremely disrespectful, 100% certain, etc. My insight, and of ...

Yes fucking finally, I have found the only voice of reason in this thread and he's all the way at the bottom. People always ask me if it's okay to finish my sentences and I always say yes cause I don'...

Asking if someone has this disability or that disability may or may not be rude, but asking a disabled person if they want your help is ok. Also, asking "how should I help you?" is ok. As for finishi...

At the end of the day, a person stuttering is a person talking just like everyone else. If you wouldn’t like it if someone finishes your sentences then don’t finish our sentences....

For the first time, absolutely NOT! It's extremely off-putting and disrespectful. It'll make them not want to converse with you again. I'm only comfortable and condone allowing people I have rapport w...

It’s incredibly disrespectful to finish another persons sentence. You don’t know them and don’t know what they’re thinking or trying to say....

Please never finish someone who stutters' sentences unless they explicitly ask you to -- it's really disrespectful and embarrassing and belittling! It is a disability and everyone, no matter their abi...

For the love of god, if I cannot physically do something then I need help. I am secure in myself enough to admit this. Who TF wants to stand there awkwardly in a disability pride war? People shouldn’t...

Please, never finish my words/sentences for me. It's very rude and will only be a hindrance to me. It might come across as nice or maybe you're just impatient, but either way, if you don't know the ...

1. The stutter isn't my problem, its everyone else's problem. 2. Most people just want to talk about themselves so you can get pretty far without saying much 3. When the stutter is put forward peopl...

First off, do not attempt to get a job that requires you to constantly talk. That should be obvious. Unless you plan on putting in the work to improve your speech before you do. I have been a little ...

Moving to a different place isn't just going to magically change you. If you want a better life, do it where you're at now. Practice getting out of your comfort zone. Put yourself in situations you do...

Here's something I use and it works, talk, when you're stuttering, laugh through it then say you have a stutter. Hi, I'm Da--haha-vid. The laugh should make you breathe in and out for a short while....
