Yeah, I just use the word advertise because that's what I've heard it called most in stuttering circles. But whatever works for you...

That's the goal but it's much easier said than done lol. Like a lot of other people I stutter much more when I'm advertising than in normal conversation...

I use it to "advertise", but I don't think of it as that. I think of it as informing. They don't know what it is so I'm just filling them on in what's going on. If they understand me when I tell them ...

Swing by in person if it’s close enough. If your boss isn’t there, say you’ll be in the area and ask when they’ll be back or ask them to give your boss your message about your schedule. Later on, give...

Yeah, it happens so much to me that I generally just start the call by advertising my stutter. Advertising is weird at first but it gets easier with every phone call, and I find that my mind isn't tak...

Just start the conversation by saying you stutter and may need some extra time....

That's what a lot of my friends and family tell me. Even strangers after I try to explain that I have a stutter. They usually say, "And? I got what you meant. You're fine.", and almost immediately, I ...

That's happened to me as well. I try to substitute words as I am talking. As for the job interview, I'm pretty sure they thought you were nervous. I learned to disclose my stutter in the job int...

No problem. Something else that will help is presenting well and actually talking a lot. When someone meets a stutterer for the first time they're going to think something is wrong with them mentally....

Umm I dunno that is hard. If you can muster the courage I'd say just speak up even if you stutter. Group interviews must be looking for the person that stands out. If you can Be friendliest most out g...

I've always just been upfront about it straight away in interviews. Show them you are OK with your stutter and they will be...

I think people rarely feel annoyed, just that it is akward. The key for me at work, always, is to break the ice. Joke about your stutter or be open about it, I mean Its not something you can hide anyw...

Same here! I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and just do it. Did I stutter? Of course. Did I keep doing it, YES I did. I learned that by disclosing my stutter, it allowed me to educ...

Thanks for your response! And yeah that sounds about right, I think I’m going to say it in the beginning, then try and sneak it in but do what you’re saying (use it as a way to show my character as a ...

Oh that's so so sweet! Reminds me when my SO ordered a few things from the internet and went to the shop for the items when they arrived. The shop assistant asked for the order's number (which was qu...

If they don't catch on, I would recommend telling people about it if it becomes noticeable. People are usually chill about it with me....

This is the way to go. Let her know up front and she might even find it cute. She'll never have that chance if you hide/avoid....

Just tell her you stutter. She'll find out anyway. I usually say, I stutter, I'll say what I want to eventually..I'll just sound like shit doing it. Bear with me. Bare with me. We either dress like ...

I always find that telling someone I stutter beforehand always helps, and if they don't want to go out just because you stutter/block then they aren't worth your time....

Another Saudi who stutters! You're the first who i met here. When i took my IELTS i brought in with me papers from my speech therapist that showed that i did have a stutter and gave it to the examiner...
