If it happens, it happens. I’d try to be open by saying something like, “Well, if you didn’t notice, I stutter sometimes.” Most people are kind. Be yourself and have a great first day....

Do not try to hide it. In fact, mention it in the first conversation you have with everyone you meet. Nothing fancy, just “I have a stutter”. Pursue your interests and behave as if you don’t have a ...

Your situation is very similar to everyone of us who stutter. One advice I want to give you, never let yourself down no matter what. Don't let stutter define yourself, I know it sucks talking to peopl...

Honestly, when I went to job interviews and just told them straight up I have a stutter it’s not because I’m nervous, I’ve gotten it. Confidence IS key (sometimes unfortunately). But I hope you get it...

23M here. First, I’d say always disclose your stutter before meeting up or at least early on in the date to clear the air. If they’re weirded out by your stutter (which most people aren’t) then you p...
