I've been trying so hard

I've been trying so hard i have been trying so hard to come to terms with my stuttering. i always picture it as a quirk and i always remind myself that everyone has something and it just happened that...

Totally agree. Most of my friends have no idea that I stammer because I am so good at hiding it - I have a wide vocabulary so can often switch words on the fly and so on. Like you said, this is probab...

Sometimes the ones who hide it the best also struggle the worst. They constantly jump through hoops, fear, anxiety, running away, avoidance behavior, skipping activities, literally hiding. Sometimes ...

I definitely made it seem like OP had to make an essay about his stutter and his experiences lol, I didn’t mean that at all. What I meant was, not allowing the potential employer to see the stutter as...

I'm not against advertising. Many stutterers find it helpful. Its good to try at least once and see what works for you. I may have misinterpreted you, but I don't think it's necessary spending seve...

Don’t you think that disclosing the stutter eases anxiety, breaks the ice, and positions OP for a better smoother riding interview rather than doing it all covertly? Depending what OP would be doing...

While it's your option to disclose, I am not sure it's necessary to spend several minutes, specifically in the beginning, talking about your stutter. It's retail. They want someone honest, dependabl...

Probably not what you want to hear, but I would recommend against it. I’ve had several close friends, roommates, family members, etc join fraternities and most regretted it in the long run. The pledgi...
