Well, there is something in between putting that you stutter in your profile and just showing up at a date without ever telling the other person, yes? You'd normally have some back and forth with som...

The con is that you might also weed out people who are on the fence about stuttering but are looking for their unicorn on a datingsite. I never tell them straight away, but I do before a first date so...

It might weed out the judgemental people and save yourself some time. It might be a good thing if you do advertise it...

OP, when I was in high school, I had an IEP like I've seen suggested ITT, but what really helped was just talking to my teachers. My sophomore year, I opened up to my teachers that I stutter. They al...

Telling People I Stutter on Dating Sites

Telling People I Stutter on Dating Sites I was wondering does anybody think this a good idea? I feel like when I did not explicitly state that I stutter on my profiles I received a lot more messages a...

I hate hate hate ice breakers in any format. I have a mild stutter also, and my first and last name are my trouble letters. If it's a casual crowd I usually go ahead and explain that I do have a...

I just started today and it's always been "something you did over the summer." I wish it were a fun fact since I would just say that I have a stutter....

My only recommendation is to get in first with your name, introduce yourself before you're asked. That way you have control of the situation. It's being asked and prompted that causes the anxiety and...

No, it's not safe to say. You can have good oral communication skills AND have a stutter. I'm saying "good" instead of "excellent," because that's a bunch of crap when they say "excellent this and e...

Try looking up pathologists/therapists in your area. Also, don't be afraid to tell people you have a stutter. Having a stutter makes you who you are and sets you apart from everyone else. By acknowled...

Tell the teachers what's going on! You should never be marked down for having a stutter. Also, being more open about it will help some....it breaks some of the shame just to say it out loud....

Firstly, I think all the steps you're making are incredibly positive and it's impressive you've realized you should do this on your own. I assume your co-workers know that you stutter. They would expe...

Yes, definitely tell people. This will help. Of course they can hear it (tho some might not know what it is), but being open about it automatically makes it less of a big deal for you and everyone, ...

Thanks for the reply means alot. Yeah ill just be honest about it. Doesn't make any sense to hide it. How long did it take you to learn the actual work? Cause apparently i suck at using a pallet jack ...

Hey! I just got out of a warehouse job to go to school. At first it was really tough for me and I felt like people thought I was stupid simply because I wasn't able to say some words. Some still do. B...

I do most of my dating via online apps and whatnot. I'll chat with them for a while, maybe a week or two that way. Then when it comes time to meet I'll tell them I have a stutter that I've been workin...

I was able to order food through the phone and I am happy!

I was able to order food through the phone and I am happy! I was able to order my lunch through my work phone today. I had always avoided the phone either by ordering through e-mail or asking someone ...

I understand what you're going through. My only suggestion is that you let the people know beforehand that you stutter, so that neither they nor you expect perfect fluency. It has helped me in a numbe...

Its better to tell people things from the start when you work, rather them find out, usually a lot more awkward....

That's exactly what happened today. I'm surprised how accurately you described it. Of course I opened up about a week after I started which made things a bit awkward to discuss because they were like ...
