Should I list my stuttering as a weakness in job interviews?

Should I list my stuttering as a weakness in job interviews? Hi, I've got an interview tomorrow for a legal assistant role. I'm pretty stressed out about it since it would be amazing experience but as...

I love your sentence “PWS overestimate value of fluency to point of perfectionism”, which can be debilitating. I find it very affirming to listen to fluent people have repetitions that easily transit...

Yes it helps that this is the benefit of growing old as it's impossible to feel worth it if I live with my parents and have no social life and job. Even though I have good degrees. It feel difficult t...

The better question is, why are you ruminating about stuttering? Why do you regret it? Why do you feel depressed about it? Probably because you think other people are better than you. So if you can ...

If it makes you feel better one time I had a job interview and when I got to the front desk to tell the lady what I was there for I stuttered so bad and my eye started twitching and everything it was ...

Tom, about a year ago, I was in a group-style hospital recovery room and my nurse had forgotten to give me the call button. So, after I woke up, I lay behind the curtain for god knows how long, unabl...

That's what I mean, I describe it like a printer running out of ink to my friend, I want to keep talking to someone but it doesn't work anymore and I start only saying like 3 words. I don't know why i...

I'm still confused. If you know what you want to say and you brain has "forgotten" that could be word-retrieval issues with some anxiety. ​ If you think that impactful stuttering is commo...

Having an impactful and sometimes disabling stutter is neither normal or common. Heck, even many many professional SLP's have no idea how to assist people with dysfluency. Running out of things to s...

Stuttering is more about knowing what you want to say and it doesn't come out as you'd like. After a while, your brain gets so busy coming up with work-arounds, that you get confused/overwhelmed and...

I hate speaking like this. It's horrible and embarrassing every day. But I'm absolutely determined I'm still going to try my best to do what I want with my life regardless. I'm young and I don't want ...

How do you not let stutter hold you back? It’s so easy for me to just isolate myself and avoid speaking and it seems like that is better than stuttering and embarrassing myself…...

Yeah. I don't get as stressed as I used to, though. I would usually refuse to ask the questions on Trivial Pursuit. Once my friend wanted us all to play a game which involved loads of talking. When I ...

Some professionals say that stammer is caused by trauma and others say that it's caused by genetics. I personally think that it's both because my mom began stammering after she was separated from her ...

Please try to see that there are different types/intensities of stutters. 1. Repetitions/prolongations that smoothly transition to your next sound. 2. More frequent repetitions/prolongations that...

As a teacher of young children, I definitely agree. Boys may be given the message to “use more effort to get through the bumpy speech”, which basically just leads to blocks, fear and avoidances. I...

Thank you for your question. What I found in the MCguire books is this: >Fear of being perceived as insane versus desire to be perceived as sane: A stammerer using lots of tricks and avoidances no...

I'm sad too. I did have some speech therapy in school when I was really young and I have tried so many techniques since than. Through research I came to understand that it is a neurological condition ...

I’m sure your lecturer would be able to help you out if you ask, even send them an email. We need to do a presentation this year on my course and our lecturer said I’d you’d rather not do it in fron...

Hi there. As others have suggested and as someone who has also dodged presentations before, I would suggest you simply give it your best. Speak to the professors. A human being with humanity and compa...
