Interviews are the hardest, most daunting situations to deal with for most people...and especially tough for stutterers. I have been blessed in my career and I will say that even with a stutter I have...

I see that I’m a little late to the party, but I would simply tell the person conducting the interview that you have a speech disfluency and wanted to bring it to their attention. I wouldn’t make a hu...

Finally found my people

Finally found my people Hey fellow stutterers! I don’t know why it took me so long to join this group. We are all part of an exclusive “club” that we didn’t choose to belong to...but this is something...

This is a very good question. I have worked in finance for ten years and have gone through a lot of interviews. I never told anyone I stutter, except once. I usually stuttered significantly during the...

I have similar issues. Most people wouldn’t know that I stutter, however if we are sitting around a conference table and everyone has to say a little something about themselves I get so nervous waitin...

When you pause, breath in suddenly and focus on your breathing; try to forget what you are saying and the situation (not like really forget... but rather just to not think about it); People who are ...

I try and use the “closer mentality” (like a baseball pitcher)....never think about the previous days embarrassing moment and try not to dwell on it. This can be traumatic and cause your stutter to be...

As an older gentleman, let me give you my perspective, tho of course your mileage may vary. To start: Do I have trouble accepting myself and my stutter? Every. Fucking. Day. And that's fine. I've come...

Nothing about your stutter is your fault so please listen to the others and take your time, and speak in whichever way is best for you. I’m starting to realize with my own stutter that when I’m stress...

30-year-old here. I've felt the same way. Sometimes, I still feel that way. As difficult as it sounds, at some point you just gotta say fuck it and start enjoying your life. Try to make life easier fo...

The biggest thing is just how exhausting it is. I'd probably be an extrovert if I didn't stutter. I love people, but I just hate social interactions. I'm just so sick of stressing out about EVERY SING...

I have problems with seven too. And twenty. And zero. I can be successful if I get a running start at it ( your total is seventeen dollars) or if I prolong the S out a little longer than normal. Somet...

I do also compare my speech abilities with other friends or anything in general, but there's more in a person, If i suck speaking then I just gotta get better at anything that I can do....

I can't say I'm no longer struggling with the negative effects of my stutter but I guess I've made pretty good progress in the self-acceptance department these last few years. Here are a few things th...

Same but 20, and only made it this far cause a fuck up when I was 18(failed suicide attempt). I'm not sure what to do with my life now cause I never expected to get this far...

I completely understand you bro, i am a stutterer myself i am also 23 now, i also can't accept the fact that i have to live like this forever, More importantly i don't want to live like this, Stutteri...

Hey, thank you. And welcome to reddit! I’m happy if my post made you feel a little less alone. Being a stutterer can feel very lonely in general, as we’re not a big percentage of the population. I’ve ...

Don't adjust yourself to someone else's pace. Be confident enough to make them adjust to yours. Luckily, confidence is something you can work on....

I'm late replying to some of these comments but just wanted to say thanks, and I find your advice helpful. It is easy to fall into an "all or nothing" mentality. Many of us grew up imagining that one ...

I joined this group when my brother (who stutters) used my phone to look at this a while back but I didn’t leave the group. I just want to give a point of view of someone who doesn’t stutter at how cr...
