Had a phone interview on Thursday - actually went okay

Had a phone interview on Thursday - actually went okay Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a positive experience I had while being interviewed on the phone this week. This is big for me as I've strug...

That’s what I do too. I say something like “Before we get started I just want to let you know I stutter, so it make take me a bit longer to get my words out.”...

I did a post about one of my last interviews in which I've been discarded because my stuttering was considered as a symptom of nervousness. After this unpleasant interview I've decided to declare that...

Disclose as part of your introduction. Maybe even your first sentence. Mention how it makes you more tolerant of others differences, patient, whatever. Be light/humorous about it, and mention one s...

Hmm I've never really thought about it to be honest. I'm not that easygoing but I've definitely mellowed throughout my twenties. I think everyone with a stutter can suffer from pretty severe episodes ...

Excellent advice. I had an oral exam for both Irish and French for state exams back in 1992. With a huge amount of hesitation and embarrassment I must admit but the right thing to do for me was to a...

A verbal disclosure doesn’t help much for someone that stutters lol. People used to “tell me to disclose your stutter” and I’d laugh and say “not easier said than done”...

I’d tell your professor of your stutter privately, maybe in a message or email. May help with the grading. as for the actual presentation, first thing I’d say is ‘hello, before I start I’d like to sa...

It’s important to note that you don’t HAVE to do presentations in school if you have a stutter. Communicate with your teachers and/or the disability office early on. Since it’s a bit late for this ap...

If you feel comfortable enough you could mention to the group that you stutter before you start the presentation. When people know that I stutter (I’m a covert stutterer) it sometimes helps me stutter...

I too always say "uhhh" before on a word I stutter. It does get annoying when people say "did you forget your name?" 😭 I have small classes but usually like in the beginning of the semester, if I ge...

Maybe you can smile and bow your head down a bit to show gratitude. In India, we don't say thank you so often. I just moved to USA to pursue my masters in University of Pennsylvania and it is only now...

I always try to use alternate words which I can pronounce easily but it will be weird in other POV, but i never had the guts to publicly accept my stutter. Guess I can give it a try...

Block in the bank

Block in the bank So 2 days ago I went to a bank. For verification they asked me my name & birthdate. I blocked while telling my name, I told them that I stammers and after that, telling my name I...

If you add a few other things, you can start avoiding the very hard block all together. Disclose, eye contact,talking slowly/enunciating, and practicing this as much as possible w sttangers...

Better to give them a heads up and just be open about it. It’s not like you’re in front of a crowd of people! Look at it as an opportunity to teach them about our disability...

For me listening to music help me talk a little bit better If you want you should bring headphones and wear one on the left side but does he know u stutter, If he don't then you should tell him before...

I’d own up to it and say hey I have a stutter I mean what can they say?...

I think what you need to do is tell him that you stutter sometimes so then there is no confusion there. Then tell him that when you are in close traffic, such as on city streets, that you want to sta...

You got this. Accept your stutter and explain it to the person, or don't explain it and just simply stutter purposefully so the person sees and understands....
