You've got this! One thing that helps me when I feel I'm going to stutter is to get ahead of it. I'd start with something like "Greetings, as you can tell, I have a speech impediment which makes this ...

Yes! Fortunately I was able to inform her (through my written application and at the start of the interview) that I stutter. For some reason it made me more nervous though. I think it was because I ha...

I’ve found that informing the interviewer I stutter right at the start makes me feel more confident during the interview and during moments of stuttering. A script such as “before we begin I want to s...

Hey, you could always make one up. Say something like, "You couldn't pronounce my actual name, so just call me X". Maybe that'll help initially, and as you get comfortable you could introduce your act...

First off, congratulations on getting the job. The way i do it is i have two first names, i pick the easier one for me to introduce myself. If you have only one first name, maybe you could pick a cool...

try self-disclosing when you meet a new person. “hey you’ll hear me stutter, i just need an extra moment” or something like that more fitting to you...

Stutter on first date, because I’d like them to love me as I am, not hiding/suppressing the inevitable outcome....

I have met a few people but have also been too scared to say me too, especially since my stutter is pretty mild...

It’s awkward because you HAVE to tell them that you stutter, otherwise it feels like your making fun of them....

Certified speech therapist here. In my experience, dealing with stuttering is all about regaining control. If volutional stuttering puts you in control, then it is an improvement. I think the idea is ...

When you said 'talk about your stuttering', did you mean that I should tell the listener something like 'Sorry for the wait man, I have a severe stutter, you know'?...

I’d argue this technique is effective when paired with other methods like a disclosure statement. For me, voluntarily stuttering was just super awkward. Not in a “oh gosh, I look silly/off.”, but in a...

Dress well and hold a smile while talking. You can open with, “Hi, I stutter but I wanted to tell you I like your shoes” or something like that. They’re probably gonna be blushing. Women have been app...

I’m a woman with a stutter who dates men. Bars are super hard. Have you tried dating apps so you could message/text first? Get some banter going and tell the woman you stutter. Get a reaction, and mov...

“Did you forget your name?”
