Interviews - not your typical question on r/stutter

Interviews - not your typical question on r/stutter I see a lot of us posting about having trouble in when being interviewed and giving off the best impression you can when looking for a job. The mos...

That's a familiar story. High school was a total nightmare for me. I was mute in class as well. I also didn't do any of the classwork, so I had some teachers assume I was mentally challenged and they ...

You're right, stuttering sucks, but it's not a barrier to success. I've found it beneficial to allow my stuttering to be other people's problem as well and not only my own. When I stutter, other peopl...

You shouldn't be ashamed. Out of everyone else in your class, people are going to remember you because you stutter. No one else in your school can say that about themselves -- that they are able to ma...

I'm not a physician, but i'm about to get my PhD. I do a lot of lecturing and talking to people at my university. You've already received some good advice. I only want to add one thing: There are no ...

I'm a stuttering registered nurse. When I read you love interacting with people, but feel insecure- I felt like it was something I've thought about a thousand times. I've doubted my skill. I also st...

I find that people react to stuttering the way that we react to it. If it isn't a big deal for us, it's usually not a big deal for them. Since often they dont know how to act, they look to us for the ...

Hey, thats a good observation. A lot of people put so much weight on fluency that as long as they can get out their words, they dont care how confounding they sound. Well I can tell you from experienc...

You need to work on opening up about and advertising your stuttering. By being open about it and telling others how you want them to handle your stuttering, you let them know you are okay with your st...

Just how are you dating exactly? Via online stuff? Maybe you should mention it already there, because you know (or at least you highly suspect) it's going to make a difference. That's honesty, innit. ...

i know i just posted but this seemed a bit off topic in relation to that post. it is not taboo to talk to him (or anyone else) about stuttering as long as you are generally interested in the topic. ...

>I just ignore it and pretend I never noticed you sir/madam are an angel. this is the correct response. that being said, the issue between him and yall's boss is a problem but its his problem. ...

I used to have to say my name on the phone at work and people would often say "are you SURE that's your name, ha ha!" (because I said it slow in a way that made it sound like I was just making it up o...

Really depends on how it is said to me. If they seem like they are doing it in a "friendly" (like you can tell they were thinking it maybe a joke) I usualy will just politely respond "No, I just have ...

I rarely ever have people make a comment when I stutter when giving my name. A couple of times I can remember someone asked me if I forgot my name, and I just kept going till I got the word out. I fel...

I think that makes sense. I usually like to announce it to people when I first meet them though, I think it not only makes things easier for me but it also helps people to understand stuttering. Jus...

How do you respond to "forgot your name?"

How do you respond to "forgot your name?" Generally, because if you're like me and you get that question maybe 1 in every 3 times you go to order food or meet people, I think it's important to recogni...

I love you, too. I hid my stutter for years, and so I hid myself as well. I wasted so many years being scared. I still am sometimes. Hell, I'm waiting for a date to show up to meet her for the first ...

probably not exactly what you looking for, but the best advice i have for him is just that people worth talking to care about what he has to say and if he takes a bit longer getting in out then people...

Cunt deserved it , what makes it worse is you can't say what you want because you are afraid you'll stutter on your comeback which makes you look worse ...
