It actually went surprisingly well. The first was alright, 2nd went much better. But the interviewer had more of a calm style. They both understood after I told them about my stutter, like usual. Prep...

Omg I do that too! Sometimes I’ll just have to blurt something out and didn’t mean to be so loud. Especially over the phone. But hmm, I’ll have to try that out. I’m 23 and in the past couple years I u...

Just realized this happens to me too. It's one of the worst!I don't know about you, but I've found it helps to pre-emptively tell people I'm going to be talking to a lot that I stutter and explain to ...

This. I worked in a hotel and had to stutter through check in processes and guest/employee issues all day long for over 2 years. By shamelessly stuttering and accepting that it was there, no one comme...

You can either change the word or drop the first letter of the word. Like if I had to say “apple” but knew I was gonna stutter at “a-a-apple” I would say “pull” fast. If you do it fast enough In regul...

I know what word I will stutter on and that’s what will cause me to stutter. People always tell me to “just calm down” or ask me why I’m afraid to speak and it’s infuriating. They just don’t know thou...

Another girl stutterer here. I've also never met a female stutterer in real life and have only seen some online. As I inherited it from the male side of my family I don't believe female stuttering dif...

I thought about it for a long time and finally changed my legal name last year. Its been a liberating year since. I think the overall psychological impact of not stuttering when I introduce myself has...

Even though most people know that stuttering is involuntary, an assumption I see often is that a bout of stuttering is triggered by general nervousness/uneasiness, unpreparedness (e.g. for a meeting/p...

Not sure if it counts as a misconception but I sometimes find it hard to start talking early in the morning so I often stay quiet for a lot of breakfast conversation at work (it's 7-7 shifts so we get...

Here’s a classic one: when people say to “take a deep breath” when you stutter. If it was as easy as that, I wouldn’t stutter at all! Stuttering is much more than a simple breathing problem. It’s a ...

I've always used substitute words where possible. And a variety of tics and tricks when it's unavoidable. But, sad to say, sometimes I've just avoided the situation entirely. ("God would look at tha...

Same. Struggle through it- There's really no other choice and it's worth it. Prepare as much as you can, know what you want to say, and practice. It may or may not help, but I've found when I understa...

This guy knows how to stutter. ​ I'm about the same age and in a good job. Though I feel my career was hindered at the beginning, it was because of my \*fear\* of stammering. &#x200...

I can relate - I've been in the business world for almost 20 years (I'm 41) and have been in the situations you describe. Some ideas that some to mind (not sure if any of these would help): * Is the...
