Wow, thank you so much for the thought you have put into this post! I will definitely check those videos out! I am a little fearful to share those videos with him, though, because I know he feels rath...

Thank you so much! I know that it's a really difficult thing... but I want to be as supportive as I can since my upbringing didn't really involve much of an example of being supported. I texted him ri...

I have a stutter and am running for student council

I have a stutter and am running for student council My stutter first appeared when I was 11 years old and has stayed with me ever since. I use to let it control me as I was afraid to order food at res...

He's really lucky to have you, it's clear how much you care about him. It's not easy to change the opinion you have on your stutter when you've been viewing it as an horrible thing for most of your ...

The more interviews you do, the easier it will get and you will probably become more confident and fluent. Telling whoever's interviewing you isn't a bad thing, either. I told my interviewers that I...

don't normally do this but clicked on your profile and saw you're a waiter - awesome job! i got thrown into a journalism career at 19 and it was the gauntlet i needed to get over stuttering and learn ...

Yeah that's kinda what happened to me but its imperative to talk here on it so I've been doing my best to do so!...

At a mutual friend's divorce party. 7 years together, 3 years married, Just be up front about the stutter. If they don't like then it's their loss ...

Whenever I’ve gone on a date with someone I tell them about my stutter beforehand because it reduced my anxiety about the whole thing. So I think it’s a good idea to tell her beforehand ...

Meeting a girl for the first time

We shouldn't really have to address it, but I find putting it all out there is really helpful for me. Some people like to make a joke about it, but I actually find just casually telling them is the be...

Always tell them you stutter at the beginning of the interview. We gotta own it. ...

I concur with these two responses. I used to hide my stutter as well, and I started a few years back being open about it in interviews, and even putting in on applications. I recently applied for Tea...

I was thinking the same thing. I used to hide my stutter and people would treat me like I was crazy when it happened. When I started telling people I stuttered, it changed their perspective completely...

That's an interesting take. Being so new to it, I try to act as normal as possible, and nobody has even mentioned it (except for my current boss, out of concern since we're friendly). I didn't say an...

I'm really sorry to hear this. I know any oral part of an interview is a real struggle for all of us. It's really, really frustrating and upsetting to me that people immediately pass on us just becaus...

Thank you for your tips. I can be pretty hard on myself sometimes, it can be hard to remember not to project my fears onto other people. I have a presentation today and I'll make sure to mention my ...

That pained expression can just be down to the person really wanting to help you but not having a clue how to do it. Maybe a smile, to reassure them that everything is OK will make them more comfortab...
