Why not? Surely your family understands that you haven’t chosen to stutter; what is your fear here?...

I would work on improving my relationships with friend and family. I would do check up calls more, asking if they're okay and such. I would talk more to strangers and strike up conversions just for th...

Your boss should be a reasonable person. If you don't want to give a presentation in front of an all-company meeting, they should be fine with that. It can be a lot like doing a group project at schoo...

Finally talk like i want. Without dodging words, changing the sentence. Phone calls like its nothing. And ask for a date/number....

Go to as many fast food places that ask your name (Starbys, for one!), order a shitload of complicated orders, and actually say my name when they ask for it. Go to stores and inquire about their stu...

It depends, if you can get what you want from life and enjoy it with the people who accept you as you are, then you will be happy. Just fuck those who laugh at you....

You just can't be cocky or a jerk about it. Anything that is important to you should be handled the same way. Especially in a classroom or workplace setting....

You definitely have to set boundaries for those around you. Whether they are friends, family, teachers, bosses or coworkers. Respectfully tell them if you are bothered by something they say or do. I r...

Id say go for it, dont be wierd about it, just be like hey I stutter and I noticed that you may also stutter and see where it goes from there. If they get shy about it back off, no big deal. I persona...
