I feel like if your work wasn’t good in undergrad, they would’ve told you. You either know what you’re doing, or you don’t — regardless of a speech impediment, and that reflects in your grades, and yo...

Your partner should be your best, most fierce advocate. My wife gives me space to order food or talk at the pharmacy or whatever but if I have a hard time I can give her a look and she takes over for ...

No, don’t do that. I’m going to be blunt with you. That just shouts that you care what people think and you would be constantly apologizing for stuttering and you shouldn’t have to apologize for that....

Also want to add that telling people who stutter that they brought this on to themselves can be extremely frustrating and unhelpful to them and to avoid saying this because it's simply not true in dev...

Have you spoken to your parents about this? It’s appalling—I would have this brought to the attention of administration. Yes—she might actually do some work if you or your parents went to her—but ...

You can inform them, but I wouldn’t frame it as an apology. There’s nothing to apologize for. You could say something like “Thank you for taking time to interview me today. Additionally, I appreciat...

I would tell the administration. If you want you can wait until you're about to graduate. You don't need to worry about it negatively affecting you, it won't. She's harming other kids by not providing...

It’s self defeatist to preach for acceptance and grace towards myself and my stutter? Sorry I don’t want to spend my entire life chasing a version of myself that isn’t authentic. I have a stutter. ...

I think they look for other ques like how people handle adversity. I think the meaningful impact is what we do after a stutter bout. Honestly just smiling is so re-assuring that it gives a lot of pe...

There is nothing creepy in normal human interaction like talking, if you will be respecting boundaries. Like for example you finally got power to talk and say nice words to a person, you would like to...

Immigration and DHS officers ( several countries, not all) are quite mean sometimes. I have had to tell them I have a stutter a couple times. But I guess it's their job to use body language to screen ...

When I got off of a plane from Dominican Republican and they asked me what I brought back with me he kind of teased me wondering if I am hiding something from being nervous but he realized quickly I s...

How comfortable are u being open about it? One option would be for your bfs mom to gently let people know that u have a stutter beforehand, and that all they need to do is be patient and not finish se...

The best advice that worked for me is to disclose your stutter either by email before and/or at the beginning of the interview. This allows you to not worry as much about stuttering and instead focus ...

Not directly of lying but "hiding something" multiple times. As a kid my bag was searched regularly by the supermarket's security guard, I guess because I looked nervous (looking nervous = nervous bec...

I don't think that's entirely true. I'm soft spoken also but I always have my head held high, and when I'm approaching someone, i never rest my head or drop it low, doesnt matter if theyre bigger than...

Obviously idk when her birthday is, but if she's an Aries, we hate being told what to do.  For me, it was a parent or a spouse.  Work is not an issue nor my kids or friends.   Idk why but if asked I'm...

Do not.....finish hee sentences for her. To me, it is so rude when someone does this. It calls into question the authority and power and control of my mind. You don't know what I'm thinking or what I'...

A lot of commenters are saying "ditch them." Not so fast... Give them the benefit of the doubt. Young men are pretty ignorant at that age. Have individual conversations with each of them. Ask them t...

“Not every disability is visible” “Please don’t finish my sentences” Both have #Stuttering Awareness...
