Best option is the find people online. In real life there is a chance but you will go through so much abuse and mockery that is not worth it. Try finding a reddit page of your country or city and sta...

Thanks mate. I actually did end up introducing myself to someone at the book store. I was sweating bullets for 30 minutes prior and promptly, as expected, stuttered like anything when I went up to tal...

It’s illegal of them to discriminate because of your stutter—ESPECIALLY if you disclose it. Does it still happen? Yes. But I think the odds of them judging your stutter are higher if you don’t disclos...

30(M) Speech therapist and fellow stutterer here! I personally would be open about stuttering if you are comfortable sharing. I’ve found a lot of “looks” and reactions we get from people are because t...

be open about your stutter during your interview! I’m 16 and i just got a job at homegoods with a stutter. I flat out told the interviewer lady that i had one when i started to have blocks in my speec...

wouldn't disclosing hurt me though? They write reports to adcoms who will be reading my evaluation reports and make decisions at a later date....

Nothing will get you rejected faster than hiding/lying. Don't email them ahead of time because that gives them time to formulate their own weird conceptions about what stuttering is or isn't. Be pre...

Who else here stuttered right after Covid?

Only if they ask about it. I'm happy if they don't ask, but if they ask, I'm not a very hard person and I answer their question. Most people are postive....

My colleague said she wants to maintain distance from me. I just. Idk what to say

My colleague said she wants to maintain distance from me. I just. Idk what to say 21M interning at a firm. So we 6-7 people kinda got along well and we have our lunch together everyday. This girl i...

I just started doing it but telling as many people as you meet that you have a stutter let's a mountain off your chest. It's helped me so far and allows you to spread awareness of our silent disabilit...

I’ve just started a degree apprenticeship and this whole week has been inductions and introducing yourself and saying my name is the most dreaded part. I speak well for the most part but I just can’t ...
