One of my high school Spanish teachers asked me either before or after class (can't remember but it was empty) if I would prefer her to call on me or wait for me to raise my hand to speak. I loved he...

My close ones know, but the people I work with or those I rarely talk to don’t know. I wouldn’t say I’m hiding it but mostly I just don't know how to bring it up so I mask it. Although, in my experien...

Probably the best thing you can do is just listen to him if he opens up about it. If you start telling him about other people's experiences he may feel like you're minimizing his own experience. But ...

Conversations with Others

Conversations with Others Hello! I've been trying to speak to more people without disclosing, because my stutter is incredibly obvious. I've been mostly happy with my interactions with people and I fe...

I think they may require proof for that. I refuse to give more attention to my stutter than I already give it. So I just pretend to be normal and let them hear me once I’m hired lol....

You gotta nip that in the bud. It's like these parents who continue ordering food at restaurants for their 19 year old kid. It's easy for us to allow people to do this for us but it doesn't really hel...

If it's a phone interview, you can certainly do that. Especially with introducing yourself. Before your interview, just tell yourself 'you're the baddest motherf...' and go in strong. Remember to spe...

So what, I should just tell them "I stutter" ? What if they don't hire me because of this (already happened to me)...

If you can’t drink or consume drugs while on the job, don’t consume them during the interview. Make sure you tell them first thing you obviously have a stutter, but you don’t allow it to affect your ...

I'd advise against doing this. They're interviewing you, not a prerecording of you. They'd almost certainly be able to tell it's a recording and it's not actually you. Even if you tell them you're usi...

Has anyone been on or started a podcast?

Has anyone been on or started a podcast? I have a really big opportunity to be on a popular podcast but I am absolutely frozen in fear because it’s a live show. Do I preface the show with disclosing...

This might not be the answer you wanted but what has helped me (Especially when meeting new people) is introduce yourself and just letting them know you have a stutter.It makes you more relaxed when s...

I’ve had a lifelong stutter and am now high up in an IT organization. Your stutter doesn’t define you. Get out in front of it at the start of the interview. Say “I do have a stutter but am really look...

I've had similar experiences and the worst part is that in my case the girl took it as if I had no interest and 'insulted' her , made the next 2 years of High school even more awful . Learning ? Go ...

During an interview, tell them you have a stutter and that you do not let your stutter stop you from communicating and getting things done....

Totally, understand you. I'm in the same boat. I started speech therapy hoping to go through this interview situation. There is no easy way it is what it is. Or We can just sit back, relax, and wait f...

I totally understand how you feel and am sending you lots of love. I just graduated law school and just started a job that’ll have me in court twice a week. Stuttering is a regular source of anxiety f...

Thank God this block type of stuttering is normal. People around me assumes that i have some other speaking disorder like worse than stuttering. But i am a teenager and still learning and my name star...

I might have to start doing that to. But I get irritated at having that label be the first thing I tell someone. 😭...

My name is Chris and  I tend to make it so much harder than is it    I barely say my name with ease I get so nervous about just saying hello I'm Chris  i tense up and get nervous.    But yeah the hard...
