Recent Job Interviews I’ve been following this subreddit for a while (this isn’t my main). As someone approaching their mid-20s I’ve been dealing with a stutter as long as I can remember. A few years...

1. Plosive sounds. 2. Prolonging the first part of the word or just the sentence in general. 3. Depends. If i know them, and they have been around me for a while, I will straight up tell them hey wtf...

I wouldn't expect anyone to just know that someone has a speech impediment, even if they work in HR. It can be hard to tell in a lot of cases and it's not like they're SLPs or doctors. If you don't t...

I am a Stutterer who is studying a degree in Speech and Language Therapy. 1 - mine varies, depending on how stressed out or what emotion i’m feeling (mine gets worse if i feel an extreme emotions), b...

I don't remember all the letters from the top of my head, but for sure I stutter on words that start with L, M, N, S/C. Oh and when someone asks my name, I stutter with my name. As I said, when some...

1. Plosives sounds (P, b, d, t). These are the most common sounds I struggled on, and the most common ones that still slip out. Also, pretty much all softer sounding words. Alliteration is a pain. 2....

I do not have a stutter, but I think I can help, as I had to make like a ton of appearances before tons of people. My best advice is to simply ignore the audience. Pretend like you are talking to your...

Hey! Thanks honestly I think that’s what I need to do not let my stutter affect me or stop me from doing what I want to do. But yeah I get you there’s been many many times where I’ve been talking to s...

i told my bf that i love him last night i ususally just say it in the discord chat and stuff. but this night, i was able to tell him. i feel fckin proud of myself lol mention he helped me say it to...

Thank you for your encouragement and great advice. It’s much appreciated. Disclosing that I stutter had calmed me in a lot of situations. I need to start doing that more instead of closing myself off....

You’re absolutely right. I can’t change who I am but I can change my perception of this situation. It honestly makes me feel so much better when I tell people “I stutter, please be patient” I’m not su...

Phone Interview

Phone Interview Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you about my phone interview today! I disclosed in the job application that I stutter, and on the phone the HR lady was super nice to me! She was genuin...

If I can ask, what life stage are you at (school, college work etc)? I've made a real concerted effort recently to take ownership of it. I've started a new job role in the last six months, it's all b...

I am 53 years old and only recently told by my mom I had a stutter as a kid.

I am 53 years old and only recently told by my mom I had a stutter as a kid. I never made fun of people with stutters, and I always stuck up for people that did stutter. Now I know why. I did make f...

Disclosure. Take it upon yourself to let people know that you have a stutter. If you are worried about what they think, putting it out in the open makes it easier for everyone most importantly yoursel...

I can logically say my stutter is just a part of who I am, but it's much harder to reduce the emotional toll and pain associated with it. As I grow older and understand more about stuttering, I become...

yeah i got so good at finding synonyms in a split second. but then introducing myself and saying my name always gets me cause i can’t change my name mid sentence lol...

What about trying at the beginning of the interview, mentioning your stutter to the interviewer when introducing yourself? Maybe just a brief note of "just want to let you know, I may stutter during o...

I usually can tell when I'm going to stutter especially if I switch from English to Spanish. I just tell people I can't say words right now so give me a sec....

No, they don’t. But I think sometimes my colleagues would take notice. Stuttering is still laugh about in my country. And I have not yet encountered someone who has a mild to severe stutter in my coun...
