Drink some chamomile tea before, helps with relaxation, and please make sure to disclose your stutter at the very beginning. Frame your stutter as a tool that has helped you gain valuable and attrac...

Sounds like an utter asshole with uptight ignorance. You're better off moving on! Why work for a company who clearly isn't willing to be patient and able to value you more than just your stutter alone...

Pretty sure you could sue them for this but don't. I totally get why some companies would rather not hire someone who stutters, but I can guarantee if you get rejected solely because of your stammer...

Tell them you stutter first. Will help ease the tension...

This happened to me for the first time in a long time at the doctors office the other day when I was asked my birthday. I just said, very casually, deadpan and matter of fact, “I have a stutter, somet...

This seems like pretty outdated advice. I don’t need anyone to model slow/elongated speech, I just need them to listen and have patience and respect...

I feel like as stutterers we need to start suing jobs that discriminate against us. Money is the only thing that speaks and stuttering as a disability is not taken very seriously by a lot of people de...

That's why eye contact is so awkward with a stutter. The awkwardness can be overcome though. Easier said than done but try not to take the burden of the other person feeling awkward onto you. It is no...

They can't tell you what to do AND not be involved. It's one or other. I guess you just can't reason with some people 🤦. You'll have to take it on the chin and nod....

thank you for your advice, the whole thing is when i do that, they say they don't need to be involved in the process i just need to slow down and I'm like¿ you obviously don't know what stuttering is ...

I've never har close friends talk to me like that, and if they did it would hurt my feelings too and I would tell them to stop. Youre not too sensitive imo...

Your not being sensitive your friend is being an asshole. If y’all switched places would you had said the things they said?...

I don’t let my friends make fun of me at all and they never have. Anytime I talk to my friends about stuttering their usual response is “we didn’t notice until you told us” (thanks to Avoidance Reduct...

I'm pretty relaxed about my stutter and good at making fun of myself. But I can tell if people are laughing with me or at me. You have to have zero tolerance for anyone laughing at you. If she making ...

That's not what a good friend would say and you really should do something about it. My friends never made fun of my stutter. Ever. In fact, they've always defended me from spiteful remarks. Only igno...

When I was 17 I was also thinking that I will die before my 25th Birthday so I dont need to suffer anymore. But then I found a good speech therapy that changed my life. After few years I stuttered ag...

be active in conversations and show that you are engaged and always listening when she's talking. don't try to finish her sentences or cut her off saying that you know what she's trying to say. hav...

Be patient and don’t finish her sentences. Stay relaxed and have fun even if she has a strong block. Look into her eyes even when she stutters. If she starts opening up about stuttering don’t downpla...

We are often very hard to ourselves and care way more about stuttering than all the other people. And the few people who do care don't matter. What will help you a lot is confidence. I never mentione...
