Remember, that there’s always simple solutions to everything in life! I could never say my last name; so I changed it! Here in the south, people are so confused by that fact!!!...

What to do?

What to do? I have been a stutterer myself for a very, very long time now. It suddenly appeared when I was around 4 years old, and has stuck with me ever since. My stutter alternates between being **n...

Thanks, I'm 30, tried years of speech therapy and lots of techniques with very little success. I have things that work sometimes, like you. Putting other words before, choosing a different word, takin...

I often say 'merry birthday' or 'happy Wednesday', not necessarily to avoid stammering, but because I like subverting expectations....

I haven't seen anyone raise this point, but if you are quite fresh into this relationship with your partner who stutters, perhaps time is the answer. The more time you have been together, the less 'ch...

Yeah mines hit & miss usually but normally I can control it pretty well. I use phrases to reset the needle on the record basically...

My stutter isn't even that severe, but I was mocked a good deal. Sometimes friends who don't understand what's happening and that this is something I struggle with, but mostly strangers who get really...

I understand where you're coming from I have the same issues with events sometimes unless I have something to mellow me out. Unironically though take your own advise and think about the wondering of w...

I could of written your post. I feel the exact same way. Lately I've been saying ank you really fast and no one has noticed I left out the Th sound so that works...

To me it's less about patience and more about urgency. Like when I say "please be patient with me" I more mean don't make me feel rushed. When I feel rushed to say something I'll definitely stammer mo...

Try doing a somewhat long, cute "Awww" to ease into the "thank you," which will express your appreciation, even if pronouncing the intended phrase is hard!! Smiles go a long way too....

Exactly this. Find something that works for you and use it. There is nothing wrong with preferring a different way to communicate the same message....

Same with saying congrats or happy birthday. It sucks when I feel like I’m being weird or awkward when I know I want to say congrats to my friends....

This is one of the absolute worst aspects of stuttering in my opinion and nobody talks about it, thank you foe bringing this up. Like someone else said, I've mostly switched to saying "I appreciate it...

I use to HATE it when people finished my sentence or said the word i couldn't say. But the older I got im fine with it because I obviously have a stutter so it saves me from further embarrassment or s...

Think of it like the needle on a record skipping. For me coughing or using a phase like "whats it called" or something to break up the initial sentence helps sometimes. But I got to ask why is it so b...
