I don't know how other people do it, but I never mention stutter in my application. I prefer to "manifest" it, as it were. If someone asks about it during an interview, I'll elaborate briefly. But ma...
Agree with this 100%. It's tough, believe me I know. But ultimately, we're responsible for how we interpret and how we react to it every single day. Blaming "life" and simply feeling sorry for ourselv...
Same-well, at least my preferred middle name does. I usually just go by my first name in public because it's too much effort and embarrassment to say my preferred name....
Disclosing the fact that you stutter can really help. It usually makes it a lot less awkward when they know that you aren't nervous or unconfident. It also saves you from getting those "did you forget...
I answer "(My name) speaking." I use the phone a lot in my profession and probably every other week get asked if I'm having a case of the Mondays or something because of the stutter. As soon as I say...
Had a job interview 3 weeks ago. The job was my dream job, so i was very nervous and it was just my 2nd interview in my hole life. So not very experienced in this situation. I am german and it was a ...
I feel ya, interviews have been a nightmare. Shits frustrating when you know you're capable of showing them more than you did. For me, a lot of that anxiety has come from trying to hide the fact that ...
It's nobody's fault, no one intently placed a stuttering spell on you. Women from my experience don't care as long as it's not a big deal to you. And the ones that do care, don't worry about them. You...
Remember, above all, that you're always going to be the one who cares the most about your stutter. I remember reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, and thinking much of it didn't apply to m...
This is EXACTLY how I feel when I get depressed about it. Pretty much word for word. Seeing other people being able to talk so effortlessly, and realizing that you're never going to be able to do that...
I gave my ielts speaking and got a 7 in it. I find that I don't normally stutter in a quiet one on one environment so it went well for me. Stuttered maybe once or twice. I think you should just let t...
I agree that being upfront about it helps. Disclosing my stutter was the first thing I did during interviews. It is the elephant in the room so once it is out people are generally more accepting and c...
Hey man. No its not as scary as it sounds. Just do your very best in the interview even if you stutter. And as for talking to customers, if you get through your first customer, it'll be easier and ...
I think your first step is to tell them their behavior is offensive. They might not realize they're offending you. If it continues you can confront the behavior directly (e.g., I've told you this of...
I look them in the eye and say, "I actually have a stutter, can't help it," and I go on with what I'm saying. They'll shut the hell up about it, 9/10 times....
Do they know that you stutter as a condition? Perhaps a chat individually or redirecting a question at them such as "what is the point in mocking me for a speech impediment that is difficult to contr...
Update: I have a presentation tomorrow and am very nervous. Does anyone have any tips?

I always tell people beforehand, mention that I'm so used to it that it's not a big deal to me. Then I'll make a joke like "just wanna let you all know what's going on so you don't think I'm having a ...
That's the infuriating thing about stuttering: it's the buffet of speech disorders. What works for one is useless for another. For my part, I'm a high school teacher. Telling my students that I stut...
Just forewarning you, this is going to be long. When I was a college freshman in my second semester I had to do a speech in every person's (especial a PWS) most feared class, Public Speaking. I set u...
