I have a severe stutter and I always let my interviewers know beforehand that I stutter and that the interview will take longer as a result. Own it and disclose it so that it’s not a surprise to them....

Been there. Multiple times. I’ve always found that helps mentally a little if they know before hand, so I usually say it at the top of the interview if I’m not sure that I’m having a good speaking da...

I'm sorry you experienced this. I've had a severe stutter all my life and recently managed to reduce it to just a mild stammer. My first job was at McDonald's and I remember they would always put me o...

I’ve heard stuttering described as an iceberg before. There are the visible effects of stuttering, and then are a lot more invisible effects below the surface. Even if one day you may not stutter a lo...

I think its cool you have the confidence to put it in your bio as long as it comes from the right mindset. Not "oh she won't like me if she finds out I stutter, so I will tell her right away" But ...

Don’t make it your identity, but don’t be afraid to talk about it either. People like honesty and vulnerability. I’ve stuttered my entire life and have had many girlfriends. I live with my gf now and ...

Leave it out of your profile! I am also on dating apps, and disclose it only after they agree on a date. Let them get to know you first. None have given a damn about it!...

That’s the bit I’m finding a bit funny cos if I don’t mention it the unmatching isn’t quite as blatant if it does happen at all. I have tried the whole keeping it a secret thing but have always found ...
