You could start by saying that you have a stutter. That way it's out in the open right at the start. Just don't apologise for having one. Best of luck. I hope it all goes well....

Hi! I can only speak for what I can do, and it probably isn't a perfect solution but, when I feel (Yes, I can \*feel\* when I will stutter, essentially predict it, very weird) but: 1. If I predict...

also, I have extreme blocks, I type on my phone, instead of talking and showing the phone to the people \^ this, I hope, shows the gravity of some(my, in this case) situation , the post "is a way ...

have you discussed this with your employer? they might be willing to make some accommodations. I'm sure they recognize you have a stammer, unless you are covert of course but have. a fear/trigger of c...

I think at the heart of it is that you're a 19 year old woman, recently entered adulthood and in the midst of university. There are a lot of changes and unknowns in your life right now, so even if yo...

It makes complete sense. I’m 50 and my lifetime stutter that was almost gone for most of my adult life came back during Covid. I had a professional presentation to about 60 people recently. I just men...

I would rather get my speech disfluency out in the open then try and hide it. I’m only getting older and I don’t have the time to always worry about what others think. If I don’t get the job, I’ll jus...

Thanks for sharing your interview experience. I totally agree with you. You should definitely disclose your speech impairment in an interview. And it does several things: 1. It takes a bit of the pre...

Being honest

Being honest Some of you may disagree with this but I had a job interview just a few days ago, and I want to share what it was like. There’s a new gaming center/family fun type place with restaurants ...

I introduce myself all the time for work too and I've had to come up with workarounds. I never start with my name; always some introductory phrase like "my name is..." "Good afternoon, I'm..." "Nice t...

yess I try to tell people about my stuttering too. still, my heart sinks when they make a comment, (dont know why). but i think we both feel more comfortable when i talk to someone about my stuttering...

I think it’s a great way to get into deeper conversation quickly. Most times when I tell someone about my stutter they get more comfortable talking about their own issues, etc....

Self disclose. Say “you might notice that I stutter …. “...

During my dental school interview I started upfront explaining my stutter and it turned out one of my interviewers has a dentist who stutters. It made the whole conversation more chill for me and I th...

Thank you so much for saying this. I’ve always been scared to express myself publicly, but I’m glad I didn’t hold back this time. Your words encourage me to keep going...

I tell people, I’m having a really hard week with my fluency, it’s been frustrating for me. I just wanted you to know where I’m at. Or something like that....

I half agree with this. I don't think it's worth disclosing UNLESS you have a severe repetition or block. Sometimes people don't understand what is happening, which you can't blame them, and explainin...
