You should! Like I told another commenter, as a kid it felt scary to approach them, but as an adult I realize I shouldn't have been scared at all....

When I was younger it felt scary to tell them. As an adult, I kick myself for being scared to tell them. They're just a human who should have the decency to understand speech impediments are something...

Okay but that’s brave. I have to start telling my instructors then because I have a lisp and do stutter...

When I was in school, I told all my teachers I have a speech impediment and doing presentations, reading out loud, etc, will be hard for me. I tell them its something I'm born with and can't change it...

I want others to know that they can finish my sentences because I stutter on all letters a lot. I'm more comfortable if people finish my sentences...

What would you want other people to know about stuttering?

What would you want other people to know about stuttering? Hi peeps, only few of my friends know that I stutter and for Stuttering Awareness Day, I want to come up (Idk if that's the right word choice...

I feel like what I’m about to say has already been said by everyone but ADVERTISE that you have a stutter. It takes the pressure off from yourself in trying to seem “perfect” and it will allow you to ...

If you feel confident about it, full disclosure! Tell her that you stutter to "prepare" her. You will see very quickly if she's supportive. e: I do this quite often before presentations and similiar ...

If I'm being honest the best way is to disclose at the beginning and block freely. Its f***ing scary but hiding is more stressful and they'll see blocks anyway. At least do it on your own terms. Btw I...

Any time I have an interview, meet with leadership, do a presentation, whatever, I say something along the lines of this: "Before we begin, I'd like to let you know that I have a speech impediment whi...

I let my teacher/ prof know about my speech issues straight up! For me, it helps with the fear of being misinterpreted or seen as unprepared !...

I'll leave an old comment of mine here with some edits, might be helpful. I once applied for a customer service job and had rather obvious blocks and stutters during the interview. The two manager...

Thank you so much!! I will sometimes advise them of my stutter, but most of the time I just act like everything’s normal in hopes that if they see me not making a big deal, they won’t. 😁...

Why not just tell your girlfriend what you told us? That you actually took their stuttering as a compliment because you thought it was due to their positive reaction of the photo. And that you felt go...

I love your analogy of a break up and how you understand your relationship with your voice. In my case it wasn’t so much about not caring about my stutter but rather reframing the relationship I had...

In the years since, I've had one person bold enough to mention it without me bringing it up first. So yeah, I suppose it did work....

Oh I agree. In phone calls I often hear "oh I think the line is breaking up"; "no that's just me ha ha"....

Most people are so unaware of what dysfluency actually is, they have no earthly concept that “forgetting” is a common block avoidance tactic. Most people won’t say it out loud, but I think our une...

Everything you describe is very classic stuff for people with impactful dysfluency! My first tip is to let them know you speak with a stutter. Maybe even wear a name badge saying “I stutter”. Make ...

Did you disclose to the interviewers you have a stutter and just require a bit more patience and respect to articulate your sentences? It is really tough and I’ve also been on the same boat with const...
