You just have to be honest about it right away. Obviously it will be apparent, but it's good to just talk about it. I've also found that shallower people aren't going to want to deal with it, so don...

In my experience, and in interactions with many other people who stutter, it varies. The majority of people appreciate being able to finish a phrase without the assist. Your interaction seemed pret...

I like it when other people help me get a word out that I get stuck on. I sometimes even tell new people I meet that I stutter and if I get stuck on a word and they know what I’m trying to say they ca...

Here’s what I can tell you, straight up dude, everyone knows you stutter. Embrace it! I know it seems scary but, if you’re not a dickhead yourself you can make friends. Being quiet sort of makes you l...

Thanks man. I was actually in a panic over wether or not it was a good idea for me to mention I stutter. One reason was I’m scared they may think I’m just making an excuse so they take it easy on me i...

I know how that feels. Go through it everyday actually. Especially in sign out’s/phone calls. What I did was, I broke the ice with my staff. Especially if it was worse during a specific rotation (I’m...

SLP (Speech Language Pathologist) here, so I can only offer that perspective. Although I have experienced some social anxiety in the past, which made it difficult/ impossible for me to talk in certain...

One thing that I have found in my interviews that worked well is confidence, finding your “trigger” sounds (mine is words starting with H and sometime F) and avoiding them when you get nervous or feel...

I think I do pretty decently at interviews. Sometimes I do really well if I feel like the interviewer is approachable and friendly. On the other hand, when the interviewer is serious I do noticeably w...

RN here, get after it! This profession has done a lot for my speech, it's probably better than it's ever been - I still have my less-than-great days, I stop and explain if I have a block and carry on....

Just tell them. More often, they may think that the convo between you has ended or they are breaking some sort of awkward mental thing going on in their head. Just let them know that in the future whe...

Haha not necessarily a complete stranger. I saw her around high school and had mutual friends just never spoke to her. I think she followed me first (which she always denies), but after that I just de...

Hey, let me return the favor and thank you for being one of the few who completely get it and even reaches out in support. It really helps! I do wish that stutter was treated as a disability. Not to ...

Well, i never had a problem ordering something because i dont give damnnn, i’ll take as long as possible, cuz customers always right ;)...

I used to be like this, but as I've grown older it doesn't bother me as much. Most people I've come across aren't dicks about it and will genuinely try to be helpful, and if they're rude I make it cle...

If you don’t have experience, then don’t comment on it. Stuttering is *not* an immediate failure. And women HATE to be dominated during conversation. OP don’t listen to this user. Any *good* woman c...

I understand about going the extra mile and I do do that, I mingle at family parties and play games with everyone that involve speaking in front of her whole family, I don't use it as an excuse but I ...

Great username btw and I do try but I'm not one to initiate conversation, even with my own family, I'm a more of "spoke when spoken to" type....

Are you making an effort? You should be making an effort to get be friendly with her family, even if it won't always go great....

> Then I started stuttering. And I stutter weirdly. Not at all. Many ailments manifest in ways individual to the person, and stuttering is no different. The head and lip motions you describe are v...
