If it's at a networking event I stutter before being able to tell them I stutter so they know. I don't make a joke about but it but think it's a good approach to break the ice for those who like it....

By stuttering, you shouldn't try to hide it. But If they ask or seem concerned, you should probably tell them....

I like to go “I stutter, that’s how it is. Can’t control it.” I’m subtly trying to assert my dominance lol. Disclosing your stutter is the built-in asshole detector. If people react strangely to you b...

this is a kind post. thank you \>> you shared: *I would like to protect them from embarrassment, but I also don't want to meddle and end up creating embarrassment for them.* \*pws not to be...

I hate group introductions. Occasionally, if I'm with friends that know me well, they'll indict and introduce me once I've struggled for a while. Which is cool. I starter really badly on my name, I'...

Great question. I lacked the courage to disclose until about age 25. The opposite of disclosing is trying to keep it a secret. Secrecy does not provide harmony within the pws. Like Jekyl and Hyd...

I always found when using the phone, I simply tell them I do have a stammer and might get stuck on a few words. That usually took the pressure off me and helped to be pretty fluent....

Ha it is. I'll usually stutter within the first few minutes, which is quickly followed by me muttering "fucking shit" and a snap of my finger to quell the stuttering. I then just say I stutter and lau...

A few months ago I was in the same boat. Im a software professional, so most of my time is spent writing/testing code. My interactions with others are limited to a daily standup in which I have to spe...

How do you all disclose your stutter?

How do you all disclose your stutter? Specifically in regards to when meeting new people at any sort of event. How do you let the person know you stutter without making things awkward?...

Absolutely, I enclose to the recruiter/ assistant scheduling the interview that my stutter may get really bad at times. And again at the beginning of the interview. I'm in kind of a highly specialized...

I agree 100%! I used to not tell people what was going on and it made them uncomfortable. When you are open and honest about everything, it really shows your strength of character and people respond b...

I can see that you are a good sort. And I understood you perfectly and thank you for being so thoughtful. I know that urge to finish a word, I happen to prefer someone finishes the word for me. But a...

Don't bother telling your whole team they stutter, it doesn't make any difference. They're a normal person, they just have trouble speaking their mind sometimes. Absolutely don't try to help finish th...

For the love of God do NOT make light of it/crack a joke about it, absolute worst possible thing you could do (unless, as others have stated, they have EXPLICITLY told you that they are ok with this)...

Awesome, thanks for the comment. What you said is what I have done in the past, I just wanted to find out if that was helpful or if there was more that I could do without insulting anyone....

Thank you for the long response, it is very helpful. 1. I do tend to speak quickly so I'll try to keep that in mind. 2. When I said "how can I help" I meant more of how can be I helpful to the situa...

I love that you posted this. I didn’t even finish reading your post to know the answer; ask the person what they’re comfortable with. They’ll appreciate it so much and you’ll know exactly what to do a...

your best course of action would be to ask your bf yourself how you can help him— all people who stutter are still individuals, obviously, and all have very specific preferences. For example, I like i...

I agree with a lot of the other advice here. I’ll keep it short: Whatever you do, don’t think of yourself as trying to “help them”. They live with their stutter every minute of every day and your atte...
