Hey! I‘m 18 and I want to be a teacher. I hope you know how happy it makes me feel that you got there and you‘re doing it. I don‘t know anything about this person you‘re teaching, but most people aren...

You can use the fact that you are teaching her to pronounce the words she asks for slowly (compared to normal situation when it sounds weird). Also try telling her about your stutter, i have heard thi...

Call family members and friends and when you do sit in front of the mirror and watch yourself! Have a regular convo but try your best to keep control of your stutter. Watch for cues and observe yourse...

I totally agree with this last point. When I stammer I’m always thinking about what other people are thinking, e.g. “What if they think I don’t know what I’m talking about?”, and these thoughts clutte...

Congrats on facing your fear!! I still remember when my boyfriend (now husband) told me he had a stutter. I already knew, didn’t care, but it was a big deal for him to say the words and feel like he c...

So happy for you! I’ve been where you are and it was such a relief after I told my boyfriend about my stutter. It’s just another part of us that makes us unique. Knowing that your other half is aware ...

Since my stutter revolves around my anxiety, I take some measures to be as calm as possible in situations as presentations. What I do is: • Avoid caffeine for a couple of days before • Have a restfu...

"Came out" to my boyfriend yesterday.

"Came out" to my boyfriend yesterday. Yesterday in honor of national stuttering awareness week I decided to bite the bullet and tell my boyfriend I stutter. I was terrified as my stutter is the most v...

Haha my nightmare! The thought of telling my husband to be about my stutter seems like a chore. How would he react knowing I've been fluent all this time....

I called my mom and my grandma today!

I called my mom and my grandma today! It was especially hard to bring myself to call my grandma since she only speaks English and it's not my native language (making me block more), but I still did it...

Bro, as a stutterer, finding someone who accepts you for YOU and looks past the stuttering is a blessing. Her opening up to you about it is big for her. The first thing you should avoid is finishing h...

If you aren’t comfortable, you don’t need to tell them about your stutter right off the bat. If things get too dire at some point, telling them may help. But most people will understand (hopefully an ...

I had given, more than 100 interviews and interviewers used to think I am lacking confidence or knowledge. I decided to start telling them about stammering and it worked but you also need to convince ...

Yes announcing that you stutter will reduce the fear that the person would judge you for this. And this reduced fear would help you be more comfortable and would reflect in your fluency....

If you’re a person who stutters, chances are you are going to stutter...and that’s perfectly okay. I would recommend “advertising” at the beginning of the interview. Say something like “As we are gett...

Absolutely! I’ve advertised in several interviews and only had positive outcomes. Get it out there, unapologetically, then move on to convincing them you’re the best person for the job (which you are!...

It's almost the first thing I do, and I always make a joke about it. It clears the path for anything, from periods of absolute fluency to 100% blocks. I used to abhor the phone, video calls, etc, bu...

Absolutely. Without question. Disclosing my stutter may be the single best thing I've ever done in an interview. It relieves pressure off of you and let's the interviewers know what is going on (if th...

Depends on how bad of a day it is for me. Often if I'm having a bad or mediocre day with it I'll say something like "I have a stuttering issue by the way so if you ever have an issue understanding som...

Yeah no shame in getting ahead of it. It'll take the pressure off of you and anyone in the room who may not be familiar with a stutter. Good luck!...
