Anybody else a little frustrated that you can't use Alexa, Siri, Okay Google, etc.? Me: Alexa, play W-w-w-w-w-alking on a dream Alexa: Playing waa waa...

Such bad advice. When a person is actively seeking a mate they pick up on every little thing, as a stammerer, this comes off in your confidence (inwardly and outwardly) so she will know something is u...

Thanks! Maintain the confidence? Well, in that particular instance I’m confident in many of the other areas of being a candidate for that position and was well prepared. So I rested on that I suppose....

That's a really difficult question and depends on the situation. However, clinical data shows you will feel less anxious and people view you as higher status when you self disclose non-apologetically....

It has helped me to self disclose it but in a non-apologetic way. The more you try to hide, the more it will come up. If this is a deal-breaker for the person, then they are not worth your time. Once ...

I'm proud of you for attending that interview, it can be very intimidating ! Maintaining my confidence is what I struggle with the most, how do you manage to do that?...

I’m sorry man. I understand. Sometimes I can barely hold a conversation and it sucks. I just had an intense job interview in front of 4 chiefs. It was intimidating af. I was flowing good and hit a b...

Ah it’s not though, it’s actually quite severe. I can temporarily hide it by talking really fast and avoiding certain words, but it’s extremely exhausting for me to do so. I’d say it’s like an 8/10 i...

I always mention my stutter before a date. I mean, Its not like I can hide it anyway. If you have a mild stutter then you can hide it. Dates require me to be either drunk or pop a Valium. I usually s...

Tbh, if you're stutter is mild enough that you can reasonably hide it, I wouldn't mention it....

I have an upcoming date and I wasn’t planning on mentioning it beforehand or even addressing it on the date, but maybe I should. Usually I just try to hide my stutter on dates... I don’t really know h...

long post but i feel so grateful for you guys helping me through final presentation :)

long post but i feel so grateful for you guys helping me through final presentation :) **For whoever needs reassurance on their stuttering, this is a long read for you but I feel like I can relate.** ...

College final presentation

College final presentation Ok so I don’t really know how I feel about this. I’m 20 years old, I’m in college and I’m in an entrepreneurship class. For the whole semester I’ve worked in a group of the ...

Absolutely agree with everyone above! The more we resist something, the more afraid we feel. Talk and talk a lot. It’s okay if we stutter. We can’t let this restrict or hinder our opportunities. I t...

Vent: My boss and the world are so clueless about stuttering....

Vent: My boss and the world are so clueless about stuttering.... Sup lol, just a random rant to reflect on my speech as of late and how it makes me realize how uneducated and misinformed *most* people...

You think this will work when I am asked to utter where I have to go on a bus? While asking tickets?...

Yeah I noticed the same about me and I try not think too much about what I'm going to say next. Helps me a lot in phone calls....

Stuttering and respect in the workplace

Stuttering and respect in the workplace Hey everyone just venting a bit here. I’ve stuttered for 25 years of my life so far. This year it is the worst it’s ever been. Nevertheless I get through life...

I feel you bro. I really do :) The only solution I came to - is practice. The more you use the phone the less you'are afraid of it. I don't think there is other way. The most scariest thing here is to...

The reason u hate the phone is because you have associated it with negativity and stuttering. I would recommend an exercise I’m currently doing; write down on a piece of paper what you wanted to say b...
