It's completely normal to feel nervous about an upcoming interview, especially if you're concerned about managing your stutter. Here are some strategies that may help you get through the interview wit...

I would briefly but confidentially inform them up front that I have a stammer....

No I agree with this. As soon as I tell a group of people I have a stutter, 8/10 they stop listening to me speak, they ignore/interrupt me (even when I’m not in a block and I’m fluent), or just don’t ...

Personally I try to be covert. If I'm already deep into thr interview I'm too focused on the questions and what I'm going to say (I'm not thinking about my stutter). Since the inteview has already sta...

If you don’t disclose at the beginning, but start obviously blocking, do you disclose then? I feel like sometimes people don’t understand what’s going on and give weird looks. That’s why I’ve started ...

Stuttering at work

Stuttering at work At my new job I work with new people almost every shift and introducing myself is extremely difficult. Any advice on it? Is it weird if I have my name like written down? Any alterna...

Fear and Regret

Fear and Regret My stutter has been really bad lately and Im getting ready to graduate college soon. Yesterday I didn’t go to a networking event at my school because introducing myself in comes with s...

I’m sure they meant well, but, yeah, that’s rude. I would say it’s fine to ask him, privately, how he prefers to handle introductions. My husband stutters and in situations like that he would prefer, ...

How to talk to someone with a stutter?

How to talk to someone with a stutter? This seems like a common question, but I did some scrolling and couldn't find it asked previously here. Recently a person with a moderate stutter joined my Bibl...

i feel u, but hoenstly dont know what to say. i struggle with this curse everyday. you know, everytime im about to speak i think "hey, do i even stutter? its gone now" or something, and well, its just...

I would focus on how to better communicate to your wife what’s happening (you’re having a hard time getting the words out, but you aren’t mad) than trying to change how you speak. I mean, if you can, ...

Yeah, that's pretty much the same for me. I never really talk about my stutter with my friends. Even strangers I am forced to speak to (like waiters), they seem to understand pretty much (even if ther...

Hang in there. I totally understand overthinking; this was me toward the end of high school and all of college (and even now). It can take the life right out of you. It's something I still struggle wi...

I just started to disclose my stuttering. I'm currently in AIT, and I have to do a lot of reading out loud and presenting. I thought I was messing up a lot, so after one presentation I disclosed that ...

I disclose to close people because they need to know I am not blocking or grimacing on purpose....

I tell all of my friends after I have a really bad stop and they always say they would have never guessed if I didn't tell them so 🤷...

yah idk i expect my friends to ask if they’re curious but either it doesn’t bother them or they actually don’t know 😭 i just personally choose to believe they don’t know bc out of sight out of mind b...

I feel you should do whatever you feel most comfortable doing, if you feel the need to disclose you have a stutter to people you meet as it puts you at ease, go for it. In my experience most people do...

I completely understand where you’re coming from. In my experience I found it works better for me to disclose it whenever I have a moment where I stutter. Unless it’s just like a one time conversation...

yah just wanted to see why else ppl choose not to disclose . i personally just don’t like to talk ab it bc ik if brought out up i get rlly red and it’s part of me atp...
