I also like telling people that I have a stutter, it really does feel like I get a weight off my chest! It makes me feel so much more comfortable about my stutter, and I won't get as nervous when talk...

Some people are unaware that stuttering is a struggle because no one told them about this. I did the same thing at my Job and a huge weight was lifted as well...

See, I had this mindset for a loooooong time. Even now, although I feel a huge weight lifted, I’m still like “did I REALLY have to tell them something so obvious?” But when I compare how anxious, inse...

I think it depends on the person and the level of stuttering severity and whether it would play a role in your job. I've always checked "No" on applications but during phone interviews where my dysfl...

Told my coworkers :)

Told my coworkers :) It was awkward, not even gonna lie. But I feel a huge weight off of my chest. From their reaction, I’m 100% sure that they already knew, but the fact that I’m no longer feeling an...

There is no right or wrong way.. I've been disclosing my stutter a lot more at work the past few weeks and each time is a little different. The most important thing is that you don't apologize. If you...

How should I tell my coworkers?

How should I tell my coworkers? Lately I’ve been feeling judged over my stutter at work. Could be paranoia but my intuition is rarely wrong (plus a certain thing I overheard per my last post). With th...

I think I’m going to make my stutter known tomorrow. Thanks for this...

Stuttering is an invisible "disability" - people think we're just nervous. In most cases (I say most, there are assholes) someone would never tell someone in a wheelchair "you need to work on your tal...

Hi, another Eric here, actually my name is Lucas and I found this subreddit 4 hours ago and I am so glad I found this group! As for Eric it’s hard, I’m 22 and it’s not like a switch you flip, I will t...

Well it's normal to get really emotional when you don't feel understood. Situations like that still frustrate me to no end, but I have to remind myself that they just don't know, and why would they. T...

I know you’re right. I’ve been too emotional to be logical about this. More than likely, these people have never come across a stutterer in their life. Of course they come to these conclusions. I re...

Something important we need to understand is that most people are ignorant about stutters - or really any speech impediment for that matter. Because stutters are uncommon, most people never come acros...

For stutterers in the UK!!!

For stutterers in the UK!!! I came across a company/organisation in the UK that helped people with stutters apply for jobs. Basically it would guarantee you an interview if your skills matched the job...

You are doing an amazing job! The answer to your question is to ask your boyfriend. Us people who stutter all have unique preferences! I think the contact thing is really nice btw lol, I wish someone ...

I just had a interview with Amazon for Associate position. When he asked the typical "tell me about yourself" I told him about my stammering and I said thay sometimes it takes a while to complete my s...

Not beforehand no, unless I’m speaking with them on the phone before the interview. I always mention my stutter right after introductions in the interview though. I also use that time to explain that ...

Hey! This must be tough for you. From experience, when I'm anxious I stutter more and then obviously the fear of stuttering makes me more anxious. It's kind of a cycle, and from what I read from your ...

I’m not sure I agree with everything you’ve said, but absolutely disclosure at the beginning is key. Your audience will be more comfortable, which in turn makes you more comfortable. You won’t have to...
