I did it in most of my interviews. It just became part of my answer to "tell us a little about yourself." If you're comfortable doing it, do it. The only thing I might change is to not call it a spee...

I dont and I speak with my team and others daily. It is absolutely not a road block. It only was mentally for many years....

I mention it. Sometimes I mention it more for them than for me. I also give a couple lines on what they can expect. "Hi, before we start I wanted to let you know that I have a stutter, so you may hear...

I got stopped while stuttering amid my valedictorian speech a few years back by some girl yelling “take your time”. She interrupted me, further distracted me and made me even more self conscious. What...

I remember when I was a kid that I had trouble pronouncing 's', and would skip it, use some sort of 'f' instead, or just find (or make up) another word to use. That turned into regular stutter later ...

Yeah totally. Even some of my friends were laughing behind the back. What do you think keeps us from fixing stammering? \[sorry if replied late my laptop got broken\]...

I started fingerspelling my name using ASL, if it gets to bad. Or before, during introductions i’ll ask for a little bit of patience with my speech as there’s not really much i can do seeing as my nam...

I understand it. I used to struggle saying my name too. what actions have you been taking to fix that?...

Hahaha that's a great idea! Only problem is if they ask something not in connection to what's on the recording it'll be a tad difficult to deal with but that's a really nice thing to try especially wh...

I honestly recommend trying it! There’s no harming in just having it there. I get frustrated when they don’t read it and I have found that almost all of my delivery drivers read the notes. A separat...

That sounds so cool but my problem is as I had already mentioned in another comment is that the delivery person doesn't even check such notes as they could simply call instead of reading instructions ...

Do you use an online app like Instacart Or bitesquad? Normally there are “notes on how to deliver” that you can add. I normally give a very detailed sentence on how to get to my unit. When they call, ...

I know exactly how you feel. EXACTLY. But there are workarounds. The average person is scared to death of human contact (which I find ridiculous) and this was true BEFORE corona. That’s why nearly eve...

Do you ever disclose your stutter at the start of the phone call? That could take some of the added pressure off of you and also gives the listener a heads up. There’s nothing to be ashamed about. I...

Sadly that's the problem for most of the non-stutterers (I don't call them normal people because we all are normal!): they don't understand how it effects us. When I have to make a phone call I always...

I know how you feel, phone calls are the worst for me as well. My mom and I have a catering business and slowly I'm the one who has to talk to the customers so every time the phone rings I try to reme...

Wish I could be normal

Wish I could be normal I just want to get this off my chest hence the rant. This lockdown is making life so difficult for me because almost everything needs to be ordered either over the phone or dir...

Tried 4 different speech therapist but most of them said we mostly get stutters in the age group of 3-8. Habits are easier to form then. Rn you're grown and rewiring your brain will take conscious eff...

I do this too except if I’m losing an argument or have to meet a time minimum on a project. Fake it til I can think of something better to say lmao...

Yeah i have tried phenibut with good results. I'm just scared of using it too much, I have a friend who has horrible withdrawal. Amphetamines help my stutter also. Have you heard of propranolol?...
