With all due respect, I'm a severe stutterer, and I'm not degrading myself by passing out business cards of my flaws. If I dont have the self-confidence to explain my flaws myself, then i wouldnt want...

Stuttering on your name

Stuttering on your name I find myself stuttering(in the form of blocks) when asked my name as of recent; and I was curious if any of you have ever just spelled out your name when asked your name in a ...

I mean when I meet someone new and literally can't say my name it's kind of hard not for them to lol. My old boss gave me a really hard time about it. Congrats that you got over it I hope I can be lik...

Incredible patience. I had a horrible boss once who would complain to me about the rest of the team. When I corrected her and explained where they were coming from she asked "how can you be so patient...

Normally nobody cares or finds it cute. I get clear from the start that i dont want them to finish my sentences or advice me, I try not to be rude about that because they do it because they think it h...

For any sort of relationship (romantic, friend, business, whatever) it's helpful to get into the habit of explaining what it is, and how they should and shouldn't react when you do stutter. For exampl...

I’m in my mid 40’s and in a similar situation as OP. Last year I interviewed for a new position in my same company with my VP, Director and Manager. I knew my manager but not my VP or Director. T...

The best advice I can give to you, assuming you are in school, is to inform your teachers and as many classmates as you can. Once you know that everyone is aware you have a stutter, it can reduce your...

Preface speaking, especially public speaking of any sort, with explaining that you have a stutter/stammer. Once people know, theres nothing to be afraid of. Sounds pretty blunt and fucked up, right? I...

So fucking frustrated pt2. Need advice

So fucking frustrated pt2. Need advice This was the rant 2-3 days ago. Part 1. This is just a rant. I had to read aloud in front of the class. I stuttered like crazy. Then after a few lines, I began...

Thank you so much! Yeah, I felt I had to take the lead and get it over and done with by telling him at the beginning before he commences with the interview questions as I wanted him to feel assured th...

My freedom of speech. I will not be silenced and I was confirmed unsolicited messages shall be a new rule when my post indicated nothing for him to advertise his services to me when I told him I’m hap...

I told him it's no crime to stutter and that I'm proud of the speech therapist I have that I've come to terms with my stutter that I'm now in a more happier mindset of how I view MY speech but he yet ...

Dehumanise him? You legit haven't read my post. He is FORCING his techniques to people who didn't ask for his help, charging them expensive prices and it's downright annoying and hurtful to the stutte...

Update on my waitress interview

Update on my waitress interview Thank you to those who boosted my confidence to just let the manager know I stutter that if he’s going to make a huge deal about it and not see that I can still be comp...

I can’t engage with your forceful attitude of enabling this coach to go ahead and make himself go to every single member of this subreddit’s inboxes when if he genuinely wanted to help people then he ...

Again, if this coach was professional he would use a far more neutral question on “What do you expect to gain from this?” NOT “Why do you even want to stutter?” As if it’s such a bad thing when people...

Again, you yet again are twisting my words. He helped you, great, but did I or others ask for his help? Did I tell him to tell me I’m the problem? You can’t say “Nothing wrong with stuttering” but the...

Of course I’m going to be angry when so-called coaches force their help onto people who never asked for it slithering into their inboxes as if we’re objects that need “fixing” and financially exploits...

“Sammysparklypanda” it’s wonderful that you’re getting the help you need. As for feeling humiliated, that seems like a personal problem. In fact it’s pure projection and I suggest you seek out some pr...
