For potential cases like this one, I have a card in my wallet from the National Stuttering Association that says “I am a person who stutters”. I’ve never had to use it before, but it’s there as a reso...

Imagine if we could get some sort of ID that designated us as stutterers. I mean, some would probably find such an idea abhorrent, but I reckon it'd be useful in some cases where we need to let someth...

Yeah a couple of my friends came out and we went somewhere else, I didn’t want them to have to explain for me though so just said the club was bad. I was talking to them outside when they left and I w...

Yes! Whenever I let people know I have a stutter (like a professor) or if I am meeting someone and I know ahead of time. If I let them know, it relieves my anxieties and all the fear of how they might...

I never tell people that i stutter, when i talk with them I don't know what they think about me, but 99% of the time they are suprised when it comes out that i stutter, either by me telling them or s...

Hey, I was considering making an individual post out of this topic to connect with stutterers starting new jobs. I wasn’t a cashier but I worked at Best Buy. I was sometimes considered the gaming supe...

I've been wanting to get a job this whole year but i've never gathered the courage to go to a place and ask if they would be interested in hiring. The other thing is asking for what you want in fast-f...

do you have any tips you use for a better fluency? I would just be honest with people and explain that you stutter that would help put you and the other person at ease....

i hear ya, i used to feel that way. to be honest, i think worrying about stuttering in front of other people hindered me from getting into a good relationship for far too long (i've been married now f...

>On some level, it feels weird to be opening up to a new person about this in a way I've never been able to bring myself to with any of the people I already know. I feel like this is the core part...

I am a big advocate of disclosing your stutter. If you want to make an even better impression, take the time and tell the teacher in person. Not only does it show character in your part, but it buil...

Pros and cons of giving someone a heads-up in advance

Pros and cons of giving someone a heads-up in advance Hi, all. This is going to be part self\-introduction \(for context, and because I'm new here\) and part asking for advice. There's something I've ...

lol. I didn't have people tease me like that growing up, so I love bobby. I can imagine how hurtful it would have been though. Regarding the finishing your words thing, in addition to nukefudge's advi...

Yep, I've learned being up front about my stutter makes a big difference. ...

I am sorry to hear. I do a lot of presentations and practice the heck out of them - like 20 times the night before - and that helps me a lot. I know what I am going to say and have confidence with ...

Maybe next time write down your ideas so if you start to struggle you can read and pace yourself better? I tap my forefinger to my thumb when I tLk, I tap to each syllable. I usually say at the s...
