You can't control who you get on the phone (**more on this later), but could it be possible that out of everyone you work with/for, the person you cares most about your stutter is you? I don't know y...

same thing happened to me the other day. I was asking the charge nurse at my facility about a patient, I started stuttering. She started mocking me. I simply said, "yes, I stutter" and rolled my eyes....

Fuck everyone around you. Brsides a select few they are all irrelevant. That's my motto. So honestly who cares if anyone else cares? Sure they might not take it positively and you'll fail more ofte...

I used to just be straightforward with people. Say something along the lines of "you're really going to make fun of me for something I can't help??" Usually that stopped it because others were like w...

I am going to echo some of the other sentiments I've read so far. The best thing you can do for yourself is to do presentation work. No matter what job you have you will need to communicate verball...

Yeah, there's always some people who won't make fun, instead they help. Your post remind a incident happened in my first semester during viva exam. We had a chemistry Viva exam and our professor was a...

I use avoidance strategies too. It's not that I do this constantly, but everytime when I am under pressure it becomes more natural to substitute words. Maybe I judge my friend to much, because I am mo...

It's good that you contacted your school's accessibility center. People need to be aware of stuttering and should be patient. I have been trying to disclose my stuttering to people, but it's been real...

what i meant is they didn't specifically tell them i had a stutter. They didn't mention my name. They will just tell them to be nicer to people who have stutters or other speech impediments. When they...

Ok yes. But a little decency is needed when you stutter...

That's a great way to try and influence circumstances! :) So what now, do you have to bring a sign or something to help remind them? ~~EDIT: Who's downvoting?~~...

I don't care anymore what ppl think

I don't care anymore what ppl think Today I am trying to not care what others think of my speech. They don't pay my bills or buy my food. They don't hold my hand when I cry. So why should their opinio...

The best fluent ally story I heard was when a PWS was speaking and everyone was listening, like normal and someone else made a jerky comment. Everyone gave the asshole the look of death and turned the...

Oh, like that. Well, it'll be different now. Surely there are others to talk to than some you know make fun of stutter? Also, regardless of whether they make fun of it, you don't have to lie. Consid...

Someone who does not have the patience to listen to what you have to say is simply not worth your time. Don't evaluate your performance based on other people's response. I have learnt to be confiden...

You need to get on that, I think. Instead of carrying it around on your own, communicate with people about it. You need to have some positive experience in this regard - instead of the negative you've...

I know exactly how you feel. I've had issues in the past with attending classes during name introductions, and even though teachers suggested that they inform the class that I stuttered beforehand, or...

I study criminology and I had to work with underage kids who did an illegal act that if they would be +18 they would get a severe sentence. I didnt tell them really. I send an email for an applicati...

> What if they still won't choose me? I may think maybe it is because of my speech? An employer will realise that you stutter no matter what. Telling them yourself right off the bat makes the best...

What kind of internship? Did you tell them? Are you open about it to other people and what do they say? I just don't want to be treated differently or to get the job bc of it and if I won't get it...
