It is true that how you perceive yourself will impact how people see you - because you act out according to what goes on inside. I believe that changing how you act out can change what goes on inside....

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a username check out so much! My take is the dad is probably trying to help so this person gets more comfortable. As long as it's not seriously scarring, it's proba...

In the states stuttering is a disability. It interferes with a major life activity. Feel free to call it a disability! It’s nonvisible disability. No more hiding either, that’s the only way I regained...

Thanks, it's a phone interview which makes it worse for me, face to face I would feel more at ease, must admit though ivevspent a lifetime trying to hide my stammer, and yes, even though I do...

I’m a veteran of this topic!! Tell everyone at the beginning that you have a speech disability and to just be patient with you (and smile, puts everyone act ease). Don’t try to hide anything. Put it o...

Agree with a lot of the advice on here. I think some simple tips I find useful are: tell the people in your life what you need from them and how they can lighten your load. I find that my closest frie...

So I've been stuttering and have in speech therapy for 27 or 28 years now. I also happen to be a graduate student and have been doing a ton of job interviews in the last month. Here's what's worked ...

Hello, Thank you for sharing. I would suggest you inform the interviewer ahead of time that you have a speech impediment that causes you to stutter. This will help prevent any surprises and help the...

First of all, well done for taking the plunge and applying for the job….make sure to keep us posted how you get on… I can relate to your sense of panic mode….the phone has filled me with dread many m...

Maybe be up front and ask for a video call/ face to face meeting if possible and explain why? Worst they can do is say no. And if they do be weird about it, then that's a red flag that you shouldn't w...

I’ve had a stutter as long as I can remember, since I learned to speak. I’m currently 17 and have had a girlfriend for almost a year. All it takes is finding someone who understands. And if you’re any...

Yes, absolutely disclose your stutter. Research shows that it helps to offset any possible negative impression caused by stuttering, but only if done in a matter of fact way. Don't apologize for it. (...

Whenever anyone makes fun of my stutter, no matter who it is and how funny they think it is, I never find it funny and I let them know they’re being really hurtful and insensitive. I try to combat it ...

100% disclose before you start. If you don’t, it can just make people more uncomfortable and they can just think you’re really nervous. I find personally speaking in front of a mirror really helps. Be...

Hello! I usually try to give myself lots of space to walk around because pacing tends to help me speak whilst i'm on the phone. For some reason, jumping or doing anything that moves my body impulsive...

One thing I like about advertising is that you basically give yourself permission to stutter. You told them, so the feline vacated said container. Problem is, its hard that first time. I surprised my...

Third this, and will add: I've started explicitly telling people that I stutter whenever I can in introductions, and definitely ones in a group situation. My spiel goes a little like: "By the way, \[...

Yes yes yes!!!! Talking about it makes you look super down to earth and real, and it also helps calm your nerves and possibly reduce stuttering. So yes, own it!!! Shit, you’re smart and capable and I’...

I have a stutter as well and I’m about to interview for a barista position at 3 pm today. To me, it’s all about owning the stutter and being at peace with it, every time I meet someone new and I start...
