The comment above here is great. I'm going to add on. Some of us will feel pressure to speak faster, not hold people up. Let him know it's ok to stutter, it's not a big deal. If he's blocking a lot an...

Yes definitely! Just the same as any other person you're speaking too- keep eye contact, give them time to get their words out, and don't interrupt or cut them off. Just let them say what they want to...

In a perfect world I would just want them to just stay silent until I get the words out😭. Phrases like “take your time” or “just breathe” give me anxiety and makes me not wanna speak anymore. I love ...

As an ordinary person, I wonder?

As an ordinary person, I wonder? When you're speaking and your mind and tongue decide to interrupt you by pausing and stammering, what do you want your listeners to do? Complete silence, or to say phr...

It's terrible when we stutter, and we feel that people won't give the proper importance to the sentence we said, even when then understood it. ONLY because it SOUNDED weird to hear.

Yep, had to call to reschedule an appointment, and then I had to tell a server my order was wrong. Both times I blocked and both times they acted like I was wasting their time and clearly hated me. It...

I genuinely think people do it on purpose. OBVIOUSLY IF YOU HAVE DISABILITIES OR ISSUES ON YOUR OWN THIS DOESN’T INCLUDE YOU! Talking about the ones who ask over and over while snicking to nearby pe...

Yeah. I think it's because of the arrogance in assuming they know my stutter and how to deal with it better than I do....

Intake session with a brand new therapist in 2020. I was telling her my family tree, and stuttered on my sisters name for a very long time. She knew prior that I have a stutter. She laughed in my face...

Knowing that the both of you stuttered. Did you two ever interrupt each other while stuttering or tried to finish each others words during a block?...

I almost think it is worse when you are talking and struggling, but doing good, and the person you are talking finishes your sentence for you, and has it wrong. You then have to go back and say it aga...

If you’re really opposed to asking, it’s best to assume that he wants you to wait and let him finish his own sentences. But even if you aren’t close, it sounds like he’s someone you’re going to contin...

the fact that you're this thoughtful about it probably already makes him more comfortable than you realize you don't have to bring up the stutter directly. next time there's a natural pause you could...

He just looks so uncomfortable I am inclined to help lessen the load, I understand what you mean and welcome the feedback. It’s also awkward for me as I don’t want to bring up his stuttering, we are n...

For me it’s more so that he looks so panicked and anxious that I want to make the interaction easier for him, in his case it seems to happen more with women and it’s not just speech it’s his whole bod...

I prefer for people to wait for me to finish. To move the sentence along, or try to guess what I am trying to say, it tells me they are growing impatient (which adds to my stress levels, which makes ...

When you are having a difficult time on a word or sentence; do you prefer when someone waits for you to finish or when they infer what you mean, and move on to the next sentence?

I stuttered hard on an interview I had last week, got a job offer an hour later. If the person interviewing you is judging you on that, its not a good place to work at. Most people are smart enough...

Anyone close or blink their eye when they stuttered and people just walk away or if or you

Anyone close or blink their eye when they stuttered and people just walk away or if or you As a heavy blinker who stuttered, I just wanna tell them to acknowledge the fact that I even begin initiating...

I absolutely hate it when people say they are here to listen about your problems with stuttering, and when you talk to them, they show evident signs of impatience when listening to you.
