This is so true! At work, we're required to wear badges, and whenever I meet someone new, I have no problem pointing to my name tag and saying my name. But in other situations, I struggle to say my na...

It’s ok to feel what you’re feeling. I stutter during my presentations too. Something I began asking professors is if I could record my presentations instead of having to physically speak in front of ...

I didn't answer my phone for about 4 years. My solution was to force myself to use the phone. I called shops to ask when they would close. I would ask when my energy deal ended. I would say i had a st...

Yes, but because I didn't stutter he might have blown me off. He did prescribe a very common antidepressant that made things worse. My stutter is situational. I stutter badly when trying to explain an...

My stutter wants to talk to the manager, apparently! Gonna start this off by saying one time a week meaning person on the phone blessed me like I sneezed every time I struggled. I think of this woman ...

Over it

Over it I hate when I'm trying to hold a conversation with someone or even just saying my name and my stutter blocks me from doing that. Today I had to introduce myself to a lot of people at my new jo...

The good thing about Hirevue is that they usually give you multiple takes to record. I’d use the first couple to practice and “workshop” your answer. I operate best with a framework and the one I use...

I don't know how she'll perceive this, but as someone who stutters, whenever I have to engage in a long conversation, I use a small notepad and write out my sentences and let the other person read it....

I think it depends on the person and how bad it is im only 15m but my stutter has effected my social life a lot ( have like 1-3 friends and never have dated so ya but for me at least if he starts to ...

To know what he's feeling you'd have to ask him. Don't think it's overstepping or rude to ask him questions about it because you deserve to know just as much as he deserves to be himself around you. I...

I agree with you. Normally when I tell an employer I stutter they shrug it off and say it's not a factor. I don't tell them until I'm face 2 face or over the phone already so they have an idea of my d...

It shouldn’t be this way. Self disclose at the beginning of the interview. At least give yourself a chance. What’s the point of letting them know beforehand. Along the lines of .. “ you may notice tha...

Sorry to hear that. It’s unfair. Next time, you might try disclosing it at the beginning of the interview. You’ll have more control over the situation that way. I suspect they just didn’t know wha...

I get your point. My stutter isn’t so severe. I speak sentences fluently for the most part but there are certain words that I struggle with. I never mentioned it to any of my employers. But iv been li...

I obviously don't know how severe the stutter is but if it happens just occasionally I don't see the reason to mention it. Like anyone can take pauses when they speak and it doesn't mean anything....

So that the employer knows beforehand that he stutters before the interview....

Whatever you do, we will all be here to support you. You are not alone. 99.9% of people don't care you stutter. The other 0.01 are asshats. If you can, reach out and get help from a speech therapi...

I do, every single time. I do it to avoid questions or someone asking “are you okay?” When I’m trying to speak and they don’t understand it’s a stutter. I also find that this makes the conversation mu...
