The most important thing to understand is the audience (interviewer) doesn't care about your speech nearly as much as you think. Yes you will stutter, you need to accept this fact and embrace it. If ...

Okay thanks man. But I just feel like if the band is broken there's no return. And if everybody knows I feel like every time I open my mouth everybody smiles at me and let's me speak and so on. I don'...

Thank you man! As I've said before I'm really scared to "push the cat out of the bag". I'm comfortable already, but yeah maybe it could get much better. What I'm most scared about is if she'll think ...

Yeah...Haven't mentioned that to anyone. I've never really talked about it, don't know why. But I've never felt embarrassed about my stuttering with my family, close friends and now my girlfriend. I s...

Sounds like you should tell them ahead of time. But be sure to tell them in a light way..."just want to let you know ahead of time that I have a speech disorder. Takes me a little longer to say thing...

First job interview.

First job interview. I’m 17 and I recently applied for my first job. I’ve been wanting to get a job for awhile, but my stuttering has held me back because there’s not many jobs you can get as a teen t...

Yeah, we should let people around us know that we stutter. There's no shame in it. No sense in keeping it a secret. It's just info about a thing about you....

Hi, I'm currently at college and have the same problem there at the start of each semester. Personally I see positives in it as it lets everyone know I stammer and a lot of the nerves are gone after ...

I would highly recommend you to talk to everyone you know and trust about having a stutter. Just being open about being a person who stutters can improve your speech tremendously. Furthermore, if once...

There's no way a person that close to you hasn't noticed you stutter _in two years_. Have you really not mentioned it at all in all that time? Seems to me you could mention it completely nonchalantly,...

Maybe this works for you too, but I usually have no problem saying "I have a stutter, my ID will be easier" or something similar. I'm sorry for your troubles though. You are not alone, just remember ...

I think we've all had the same issue. Now I usually try to initiate it before the conversation by saying "Hey my name is Vince, what is yours?" For me it takes so much stress off the conversation alwa...

You are more than your stutter. You are important. You are loved. You are not alone. I feel with you. Many of us block on our name. Try talking with your boss or HR. Fuck it and be open and honest ab...

I say it the same way as if I was coughing in the middle of a sentence. What do you say if anything?...

I would leave out the 'excuse me' part when advertising your stuttering. It makes it sound like you are ashamed of it. ...

Most people are very considerate, others not so much. But what are you to do but just be yourself. The other I stepped into an office and started to talk to the man behind the desk, there was a secon...

Wow... Thank u so much for such an extensive reply. I will try and implement the disclosure that u said, i guess it will make me feel less guilty....

Thanks for a personal recap of it! I only stutter on the occasional word or say uhm when I know i'm gonna stutter and wait it out. I've presented projects in front of classes and not stutter once, bu...

Yes, well, this is somewhat an East/West divide, the huge cultural difference between conformity and individualism. Never that black and white, of course. And there are good and bad things about eac...
