Rarely anybody knows sign language. Whats the issue with stuttering at letting them know by showing them?...

I took Cambridge's CPE a couple months ago. The speaking part was the only part I didn't reach C2 in. My stutter isn't severe either, but I was very nervous (heart was beating like crazy). Couple that...

I had an IELTS English exam once and I just went straight up with the examiner that I could have a stutter during the exam every now and then. If you tell them they know and they can take it into acco...

I’m 22 with the same challenge! Sometimes I power through but a lot of the time I end up avoiding/getting super anxious or nervous. This random phenomenon is actually the reason I joined this sub. I u...

I guess it depends on the setting. If I’m in a professional or important presentation it takes some of the stress away to reveal I have a stutter. By claiming and accepting the issue it kinda makes it...

Thank you, I know being mute can be worse, sometimes its really really hard for me even to say a word and its all so painful and humiliating, so for that i wondered whats the point of talking then. B...

I can assure you that it isn't better to be mute. Your frustrations will build up and it will become too much to reasonably manage. Job opportunities can be pretty rough when you have a hard time com...

Thank you for the suggestion. I’m working on it and my stutter is not that bad but when it happens, it stays for a few sentences. I’m struggling to decide if I should even broach the issue before I st...

I would. Just say bare with me, I have a speech problem and I’m currently working on it. You are working on it?...

Asking for advice regarding stutter from the community.

Asking for advice regarding stutter from the community. I’m 25yo male from India. Whenever I’m presenting something in a meeting, or during a job interview or even when speaking on a podcast or someth...

Text them and let them know you have a stutter problem. In general I mean. Not to these not so nice friends....

Just as a reminder, if you are concerned with conversing with another, just let them know you have a stutter in advance. Get it out of the way for you both. It should be easier after that. Also, if ...

When I was your age I often worried about speaking to strangers and stuttering. I would feel embarrassed and ashamed to some degree. Even now years later it is an issue for me. You’ll have to basica...

I am not a person who stutters so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. I’m a speech therapist and have also worked as a server for 8 years part time. If you’re comfortable w it, let them kno...

I find being up front about it helps a lot. If they are rude about it I'm glad I found that aspect of their personality early. If they aren't rude then yay!...

Things that have helped me: 1) I would consider saying you have a stutter at the beginning of the presentation 2) Realise that 99% of people don't care you have a stutter, they might notice during t...

Yes. Be up front. If she responded negative to your stutter, I suspect it was not to your stutter itself, but your reaction to it (embarrassed, low self-confidence etc). If you can get comfortabl...

I say be upfront about it. It might make you feel more comfortable. The worst that can happen is that the other person is an a**hole about it and you dodged a bullet....

If you have to do then you have to do it. Accept it, embrace it, learn from it! It's going to suck at the time and leading up but regardless of the outcome you should feel good that you stood up there...

How would you feel about disclosing your stutter at the beginning of the presentation to break the ice?...
