I was in the exact same situation as you a few months ago. For the job that I got, all I had was a phone interview. I didn't bring up the stutter until it actually happened. All I said was "Sorry, I h...

How best to approach potential employers about your stutter? -- do you do it at all?

How best to approach potential employers about your stutter? -- do you do it at all? Hello all, I'm new here and I'm sure this has probably been brought up before, but I'll share anyways. I recently ...

My parents used to always tell me growing up to "speak slowly" and "sound out my words" and it drove me absolutely nuts. If I could have done either of those things I certainly would have! Thankfully ...

Good luck. I can say my first name, but not my last (without considerable difficulty), and it's a very difficult name to pronounce so everybody always asks me to say it for them. Needless to say, this...

That's great. I have some summer job interviews coming up, and I will definitely have this in mind. I've been guilty of being the guy who takes down a few shots before moments like this, and I am sick...

Its worked for me. I felt I'd probably be stuttering in the job interview, and I didn't know what kind of experience the interviewer had had with persons who stutter, so I felt it'd be a good idea to ...

It's mostly anticipating it that fucks me up. If I'm having a busy day I won't think about it and I'll be fluent as ever....

Well, I had back to back IEP meetings and stuttered through the first pretty bad. I didn't let it phase me much and I said all I needed to say. Overall I'm happy I got through it and didn't avoid muc...

Very interesting, I just found this sub and this is almost my exact experience. When I was a kid I would get blocked allllll the time. One of my teachers would call on me to read in class constantly (...

I've been trying this out this week during the rare occasions where I remember about it... and I think it helps! I had a very impromptu meeting at work with two high-profile media representatives, and...

Good job on quitting pot at a young age. I'm 32 and just quit last year because it was really holding me back mentally, emotionally, and financially. I quit drinking too. I'm pretty much a teetotaller...

I've been the opposite. I stuttered pretty regularly up until around 9th grade. I suddenly stopped all through high school, then when I started getting fucked up and smoking weed all through senior ye...

I used to stutter for most of my life, now it's completely gone, and I'm just curious on why it's gone, and what ''cured'' me. And maybe it will help some of you

I used to stutter for most of my life, now it's completely gone, and I'm just curious on why it's gone, and what ''cured'' me. And maybe it will help some of you Just come across something about stutt...

Bah. Was worse than usual. I'm not sure why but I've been stuttering a bit more than normal. I'm not even stressed about anything this week. It's only been in casual conversation, which is weirder. I...

I think people "cringe" in different ways. Doesn't sound necessarily stutter-related to me?...

im sometimes like that on the b-ball court, if they dont hear me the first time. i just say nvm lol...

Yeah but, at least from my experience, being told to speak slower actually has an opposite effect. I get more nervous and stutter even more....

I hate when people remind me to speak slowly. However, it does help me greatly when I remember. My trick is to watch some videos of speeches featuring a great speaker that is not afraid of silence. ...

I believe the problem with family is that, as they have listened us stutter for some years, they tend to tell us those terrible things like "come on, speak slowly", which make us nervous and puts pres...

My week went pretty well. Got invited to a huge 3 day event in Miami with very short notice. I almost said no. Had to talk to a lot of people and really "work the room" during the event. My one on o...
