I was in the same place 2 years ago. Then I had so much fun with all my new friends that I decided to join the committee that arranges each years’ reception. I would recommend saying something like ...

Hey, sorry you didn’t get in first time. I’m from the UK, so we don’t do premed, we just go from college straight to medicine! In my first interview, I also bombed it but it was because I was so nerv...

You can try to make up a name that's easier to say. During group introductions, no one can remember anyone's name anyways. Use a different name or a nickname. Good luck!...

My school is a lot smaller than yours (3k) but my experience with the ice breakers we did is that you don’t have to overdo it if you aren’t comfortable talking at first. I never felt like I was in a s...

It's pretty big. 28k students. Did you have to introduce yourself or do any ice breakers? Did you say that you stuttered during them or did you not acknowledge it? ...

I don't try to hide it because if she's the one for me then she wouldn't mind that I stutter. I usually reveal it during a good mood like after telling a joke and she laughs. There's really not a spec...

I never know when to reveal I stutter with online dating. My natural instinct is to hide it. When and how do you reveal?...

I too, primarily have blocks in my speech where it looks like I'm trying to say something, and takes a few seconds to come out. Worst thing about my blocks is that it happens on my name! Why does it a...

I was away for a while so it took me some time to reply, but anyway, I usually just 'complete' my stutter and finish my sentence, and then after that I quickly say "I stutter by the way". So that's it...

I personally think Sam should have taken a moment to educate the barista about his stutter. I've had ppl ask me when I introduce myself "is your name really Ssselly" not because they are being rude b...

I've found online dating to be great for us, it allows you to open up a dialogue with someone and get to know them a little bit before having to talk to them. I do also find it helpful to just say in ...

I'm with /u/SufficientMeal, disclosure is the best policy for phone calls like these, so the person understands to be patient and that there probably isn't anything wrong with the call if there's a lo...

Hey it’s okey. We’ve all been through this. Don’t worry.. and don’t stress.. this makes it worse.. Instead try this, When I stutter I stop and tell the other person that it is hard for me to pronounc...

I like disclosing the first time i stutter. I can 'feel' when I'm about to stutter, so I say, "Uh, bear with me because I stutter, and this word's gonna be hard to say" or whatever, really casual-like...

For the most part, my experience with my stutter has been 1. I care about it far more than the people around me. 2. People will be as uncomfortable with it as I am. So, I talk "normally" around peop...

I'd mention stutter as a "fun fact". EDIT: Point of clarification - I actually have done just that in the past....

Disclosure reduces pressure on you and notifies the audience of what is happening if they aren't familiar with stuttering....

I sometimes just mention it if I happen to hit a notable stutter in new company. Not up front, just casually when the occasion is there. It doesn't have to be anything but a brief remark. "Oh yeah I s...

Disclosing your stutter makes the interaction more positive and relaxing for you. There's no reason why you shouldn't grasp that as a mode of self-care. How would anyone even be giving you special tre...

I have a short name so that definitely helps but that's not something people can really control. Definitely try to initiate conversation and lead in with a "hi I'm..." like others have said. But, alwa...
