I have issues ordering food, like many other people do. When I was on campus and visiting particular spots often enough, people would learn what I wanted and understood that the words wouldn't always ...

Using your name mid sentence usually helps. For example, saying “HeyI’mAlex” by linking and flowing each word into the next significantly reduces blocks. If we start with just “Alex”, there’s a high...

Well meeting new people is the biggest issue. Like I can’t meet any new pistols especially girls since I know how will I tell my name. I’m thinking of using a nickname but can’t use that around my old...

One of the things really struggled with for a long was creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. I'm not saying this is what you were doing. I don't know your situation. But for me, even though I told them...

I had to deal with this every 2 days in a class last year because we would have to talk to someone new every time and ofc people expect you to introduce yourself. Sometimes it came out and other times...

I feel this, I stutter on my name every time I say it and I have to introduce myself to strangers every day for my job. I always say though “I’m sorry I have a stutter” when I introduce myself so the...

Saying your name in a professional setting and not being able to. Thinking about it constantly. Avoiding conferences and the start of training sessions. Trying to get through every day with constant m...

Wow, I thought I was the only one with the issue of dumbing down my script 😅! I’ve definitely tried to let them know ahead of time that my stutter comes out during interviews and I mention it as an o...

It’s almost as if I wrote this post. Im literally in the same situation as you. I’m 25F and I’ve had multiple interviews this week, both for work and grad school. When I prep for interviews, I almos...

Most of them don’t know how to react. Because they don’t expect it. The ones who comment have their own problems. Put a name tag that has your name with a stutter on it. And point to it when you stut...

I feel like for me, because I stutter, and the anxiety of the anticipation that I will stutter makes it worse. Also, because I try so hard to hide it and not let people know I stutter, it happens more...

If someone asks a question and the response is very unexpected, the asker may be nervous/confused and may accidentally blurt out something awkward. Similar to laughing at a funeral By gently disclo...

Network network network. I know several successful trial attorneys who have stuttered openly in the courtroom. Disclosure of stuttering might help if he knows he's going to stutter. Though I also kn...

Proud of you!! You've got this. I agree to practice and practice some more. Possible topic ideas : famous people who had a stutter from Moses to James Earl Jones (darth vader from Star Wars), you ...

I’m not the person who made the website but try this https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/s/OJARSgwa8h...

Personally, I would begin with “Sorry, I have a stutter”. I’ve had to do this while talking on the phone or ordering at a drive thru. It takes the pressure off and 99% of the time the person is comple...

Welcome! (ˈwelkəm). I’m sorry to hear about your company downsizing and cutting jobs. Understandably, this can be a very stressful time for people, especially those of us who stutter and are forced ...

Disclosure is better than hiding the elephant in the room. I’ve always disclosed to my hiring managers and it’s always been a non issue for them (or my work colleagues and friends)....

every time OP thinks "too late for that", he must consider the possibility that it might actually be a small win. too late to go back to order the right thing, maybe that's right. but just listen. the...

It's ignorance of what a stutter is. I suggest when someone says that tell them "hey i know you're trying to help but thats not what a stutter is". We're apart of one percent of the popular and practi...
