Need advice about telling people I stutter

Need advice about telling people I stutter Hi all, I'm starting a new job in the hospital and will be interacting with a lot of supervisors, doctors, etc. So my speech therapist told me to tell whoe...

She definitely doesn't understand and what you said is pretty much spot on. She's a very very stubborn woman, resulting in me being quite stubborn too. From a young age she's just thrown me into wha...

That's how you do it. I recently got my first job (I was on SSI for my stuttering for 4 years and then they decided to scrap it and take me off.) in retail. I work at Walmart which has a "10 foot": ru...

I'm a 30 year old severe stutterer, and over the past 5 years I've realized that people don't care nearly as much as I used to think. I grew up being paranoid and embarrassed that people would see me ...

I stutter at work and everyone likes me. Stop worrying about other people. Realize it's an internal battle with yourself. Do you avoid speaking situations? Stop doing that. Attack every speaking situa...

Dude, if I've learned one thing from all my years of stuttering, it's that of people truly respect you, they'll look past the stutter. Do your coworkers ever see you as less than them? I highly doubt...

Man the fuck up and don't let this shit control you. Think of everything you have overcome despite of your stutter. You went to an Ivy league, you're making 6 figures. You're literally on the top of m...

That's kinda cool, using it to your advantage like that. But I suspect that some people might think such a persona is easy to manipulate or take advantage of. Have you ever met someone like that? Oh ...

During school years I definitely felt spared from bullying for a similar reason. Everyone was more eager to defend me than target me. I don't really see it as an adult so much. I play the lost puppy ...

engineering manager. It impacts me during meetings sometimes but I power through, I don't get any comments on it but I'm very mild to begin with anyway....

I have moderate-to-severe stutter, and while I'm married now, I had a pretty lengthy dry patch before meeting my wife. I get it :) The overarching idea here is to make yourself more like someone that...

You read a paragraph off to the doctor at meps and he decides. I probably couldn't do a job like counter intel because if I stutter that shit could get me killed. But I didn't have any job restriction...

Keep talking to women. Its a process of desensitiation. The more you do it the better you'll get. Learn what to say, make yourself more attractive, lift. ...

How does the military perceive stuttering? Out of high school I was in the process of joining the Navy, but the recruiter said my stutter could be an issue and that I would have to get special approva...
