Do you mention in job interviews that you stutter? Hello, just found this subreddit and decided to write a post right away. It's good to be able to talk about this with people that go through the same...

I connect deeply with what you say here. So many times I have used different words or phrases to avoid stuttering, only to feel a sense of "moral failure" afterwards--why didn't I say exactly what I m...

Does anyone feel this way?

Does anyone feel this way? I always feel as though I’m not doing the best at describing my thoughts. The words that I use in particular always feel, after the fact, like I could’ve used better ones. I...

>problem with stutteriring is that it cuts the connection between the outer shell and the inside. makes it hard to correctly present your inside most of the time. Completely agree with this. Even ...

neither the outer shell nor the inside is solely enough as evolutionary psychology suggests. these are complementary concepts and both need polishing hence our nature. i wouldnt be so naive to think t...

from my own experience i wouldn’t even use past tense and say that i felt exactly the same, instead i’d use present continuous. something that is honestly starting overwhelm me is that i’ve been goi...

I think this applies to every stutterer, if you are an extroverted person deep inside. Im extroverted but have "learned" to be introverted because of my stutter. Confidence is gained through exposing...

What has helped me the most over the years

What has helped me the most over the years Hey everybody. I'm a 42yo and have stuttered for as long as I remember. When I was younger it absolutely controlled me and affected my relationships, persona...

Yeah, most of our problems that involve stuttering will make us feel awkward/humiliated/weird...

I did the program when I was 14 (I’m 18 now). When I was there, the program did help me and I did hear/feel a difference in my speech. But the improved speech went away with time. I’m sure this progra...

Oh wow that’s very interesting actually lol I don’t use reddit that much (but I really should) so I’m not always locked into my tendencies here...

I dont see why not. For my interview, I first disclosed and then proceeded with the interview. Show them your passion and personality, that surpasses the stutter and gets you in the door. Good lu...

As a fellow stutterer, I always tried to pretend like it didn't bother me when I did stutter and it didn't seem to bother anyone that I was speaking to. If they can see that you're comfortable with yo...
