I was 17 years old and was driving 3 of my friends around on a Saturday night near the mall. I forgot to turn on my headlights as I was exiting a very well lit parking lot and turned onto a very well ...

I think it’s just a symptom of someone who is speech anxious, which most stutters are. Perhaps he is worried that if he doesn’t speak right away he will stutter more after time builds up. That being...

Yes. I've spoken to at least 2 police officers before and they had to ask why I seemed nervous when I first spoke. I'm sure they were referring to my stuttering. In those moments I'm not thinking abou...

Don't put them in a team meeting. Develop an individual work relationship between yourselves and then work out. A group is much less intimidating when you know everyone in it....

Tbh, I agree that he did sound like an asshole. After a couple of blocks and repetitions, it's very obvious that someone has a stutter. And most reasonable adults go from being judgmental/inquisitive...

I am pursuing a career in law enforcement. I have passed both the oral interview and polygraph test. I'm acutally almost finished with the whole process. All I can say is just be confident, practice y...

I'm not a cop, but I have done a polygraph for work. It can definitely be uncomfortable because you have to control your body in a very specific way, but just do your best to comply with what they ask...

I think in general that having a police job is very courageous not only because you are putting your life on the line for the safety of a community which I wholeheartedly appreciate but I personally j...

This ^ you are such a kind professor and they will appreciate your caring approach. For me personally, it helps me to stutter less if the person i am talking to looks me in the eye and doesn’t look aw...

Your professor will not deduct points because of your stutter. It sounds like the professor is understanding of it anyway so that is good....

Thinking about Stuttering

Thinking about Stuttering Hey, so I was talking to myself in the mirror, and I came to a realization; if I can control my speech around myself PERFECTLY with out a single stutter, why can't I do that ...

As men, we're simple creatures. A little physical contact goes a long way. Put your hand on his. Ask him to take a walk. Some of us are incredibly dense as well. You might have to spell it out for h...

For my master degree we have a lot of project work and they made me project leader aka responsible for almost everything, making them look good, chairing meetings and so on. Although I am the youngest...

Yes. I'm seasoned enough in the field enough to interview other engineers. I would say I've given at least 20 or so interviews (Probably more). It's actually not that bad cause I just ask questions an...

It’s a matter of confidence. How do you do when you speak to a dog or cat? How about a little kid or baby? It had to do with people of power or people who may judge you....

Hmmm no it’s not worse around my parents or friends, it’s usually worse when I am nervous tho (so when I’m talking to someone in a position of authority, but for some reason I don’t block if I don’t r...

Here’s how I see it. And I consider myself a rather confident stutterer. It’s a neurological condition I can only control to a point. I try and use fluency techniques, but I’m going to stutter, and th...
