I went to a local meeting (called Chapters) for people who stutter by the NSA for the first time this past month. It was really cool. I had never met someone else who had a stutter, then suddenly I wa...

See if you can find a support group. If you life in the US, there might be a national stuttering association chapter near you. I would try to find and connect with the people who stutter. That and fin...

i was thinking about trying to join a support group or something along those lines. Yeah exactly i want to experience more stuff in life i’m fed up of letting my stutter hold me back...

For me, support groups were life changing. As someone who ran one for a few years, i can tell you it really depends on the person and where their mindset currently is. I initially blew off the idea ...

Being 18, starting college, is a huge transition and I totally understand the feeling of being overwhelmed and hopelessness. The avoidances...not speaking in class, at work are all reinforcing the fe...

Could be the case, but I've yet to meet a PwS who could be considered as charismatic or a "social butterfly". Then again, I haven't met that many PwS in the first place....

Being a stutterer has helped me build long-lasting and real friendships and relations over my lifetime. It makes sense if you think about it. The people that are kind, willing to listen and are patien...

Start accepting the “weird” people. They tend to be more accepting of us. The reality is that most people need a little patience to socialize with us at first. I think it only makes sense that we ne...

Absolutely not. I was at the NSA conference at Newport Beach a few weeks ago. Filled with stuttering social butterflies. That being said, it's entirely possible that you stutter AND you're not very s...
