Scheduling an Appointment Over the Phone

Scheduling an Appointment Over the Phone Hey All, I had to use the phone this morning to schedule a doctors appointment and I figured I would share my experience. To provide some context, I recent...

Yeah this is what I do, normally I talk about something else eg. Football and if my speech is flowing well, at the end of my sentence, I'll say my name loud and clearly (So I don't have to do it again...

These moments used to stress me out in university, but I learned to keep calm and speak slower when it came to my turn. I blocked a couple times on my name, but by my senior year these situations didn...

Apparently the secretary and the other admin assistant (who has nowhere near my work load or responsibilities) can't talk to each other. I don't know. The "office manager" just got the title, so I fee...

I always waited until we set a date to meet up. If I'm comfortable enough to actually meet you in person I'm comfortable enough to tell you. I always phrase it as more of a heads up, like yeah first...

Explain your situation. When I joined my work, I explained them my vocal behavior and asked them to ask me again if they didn't understand something I spoke. I may not be doing the best but with whate...

> I need to be a better communicator, etc. etc. Uh, that would piss me of and stress me out. You DID communicate. ...

My best advice is to let them know you have a stutter. It can be embarrassing stuttering in front of a manager or a superior, but unfortunately at most jobs (especially corporate) you cannot get away ...

Yeah, honestly that's the way to go. I rarely have people say things, but if they do then I just think honesty is the best policy. After I tell them that I stutter that's always ended it. They're usua...

I have started to do that recently. It makes them back off...kind of? They just kind of laugh to themselves afterwards, mostly. Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them. ...

I hadn't even thought about calling the article's author. That's a really good idea. I used to just sort of uncomfortably laugh, but after speaking with HR last time and not hearing anything back, I...

Just say you stutter, get it out there so you dont have to be scared about it....

Its so weird because when i go to tell someone i have a stutter, I DONT STUTTER WHEN I SAY THAT. Its so ironic lol....

Have you ever told them that you stutter? Be upfront about it, if they make fun of you fuck them, we're only alive for a short time, don't be worried about ignorant dickheads making fun of something t...

I wish I would have the balls to do that and it doesn't exactly help that my stutter consists of mostly blocks that I avoid without even thinking about it. My avoidance is on another fucking level I s...

I always make a joke before someone else can. Sometimes people don't realize you truly have a stutter and crack a joke. That's when the weird I really do have a stutter conversation happens. Normally,...

Do or you don't, that's fine. But when it actually comes time to meet be upfront about it when you're having a block. At that point it either won't matter or it probably wasn't going to go anywhere ei...

Usually I bring it up early in a conversation if I see the other person doesn't understand what's going on, or whatever. Sometimes I'll work it in as a joke, or sometimes I'll be more serious about it...

Being upfront about your stutter

Being upfront about your stutter So I just started university recently and my stutter is at its worst right now, mostly due to stress and anxiety and all that. But I've recently been trying out annou...

I love your attitude! Wish I thought this way when I was in college. Like most people with a stutter, I struggle very much with my name when introducing myself to someone, or to a group. I remember ...
