I speak three languages but no longer use that excuse. Now I simply say I stutter and move on with the conversation....

Not sure if it was you who I told this before: I realized that for me, the reason I blocked was because I was resisting actual stuttering. So for example, if I wanted to say "Smartphone" and k...

I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience. I have learned to accept it in a way that when people point my stutter out (in this case your classmate), just tell them that it's something that you are ...

This instance happened a few years ago. I've since just owned it and will confidently stutter my way through situations! "Sorry I have a speech impediment" might be my most common phrase and it's us...

Don’t worry about it. Maybe try to mention that you have a stutter next time because many people are sympathetic or are shoved in the good-behaving corner when you mention this, particularly the emplo...

Have you ever been inadvertently mean to someone to avoid stuttering?

Have you ever been inadvertently mean to someone to avoid stuttering? Was thinking about this today and was wondering if others have been mean to others to avoid stuttering. One time during college ...

Growing up I always let people know I stuttered before giving a speech so I took some of the initial shock out of people reactions, and I think more so, to knock some of the pressure off me. Thanks fo...

Late reply on this — have you see the iOS 17 Accessibility feature “Personal Voice”? This is what you’re looking for. You can be on a normal phone call and type in responses to be said in (basically) ...

Yes learning a sign language was always my "last plan". Maybe in the future :) I stutter pretty badly with strangers but one I was on a train alone in Italy and "spoke" for an hour with an old deaf m...

I'm not sure if you're the only one. But I don't do this. I too have blocks that last a long time and make having phone calls with friends, family or anybody hard. But if my friends invite me somewhe...

Only my immediate family know and have been pressuring me to do it which is why I said yes. I don't really want to avoid it as I have university starting soon and am going to have to face it sooner or...

a stutter is something to be shared. if you don’t share it - you’re stuck *alone* with it in your mind. in a locked room all by yourself. once you start sharing your stutter fully - you will start to ...

Open it with a PSA type.."I have a stutter but it's Ok..think of them as dramatic pauses..." I stole that from someone...I use it all the time at work before presentations...

Applying for jobs

Applying for jobs Hi all. Sorry for the long rant. so I was recently made redundant so am looking for work. I have been in a customer facing role for over 25 years and never had a problem talking to ...

I never mention it I feel so different when I do even tho it’s obviously noticeable when I can’t say my name...

That’s when I can usually get out pretty quickly that I stutter and that’s why I can’t get it out...

This is exactly what I do as well. I don't put it on any applications, but if I get an interview, I mention it pretty early in to take away any guess work on their end and let them know what's up. Bre...

This is a tough one but for me, letting people know that I have a stutter helps relieve the anxiety and more times than not people will open space for you to speak on your own terms and won't make you...

Depends on whether or not you want to. I personally don't put it on the job applications, and prefer telling them in person. I always felt that putting it on a job application puts a certain bias in t...

Yes, stuttering is considered a disability, I would put it down, also ALWAYS tell the the interviewer as well that you have a stutter...
