tactful, canned joke to say when stuttering after meeting someone?

tactful, canned joke to say when stuttering after meeting someone? I frequently meet new people for work, and first impressions are really, really important. I am a fairly confident individual, but so...

Huge pain in the ass either way. I’m going to start deliberate pauses, see how that goes. Honestly, I think talking about it with others will help a bit too...

two thoughts about this device. 1. I want to use this on people who interrupt me mid-sentence. 2. Presidential debates should use this. The moderator should point this thing at a candidate who inter...

Mhh na not really. If they think it is ok to insult me or to make fun of my stutter then oh am gonna either smash some come backs or throw hands....

We can recognize it’s inconvenient for others, but that’s really all it is, just a bit inconvenient. People who give you the time of day are not saints. I assume you sometimes have to be patient wit...

1. How old are you? 2. It sucks and I know the feeling 3. You’re stronger than you think in navigating you - f the stutter for a second 4. Amazing how our perception of self is so impacted and often s...

Have you ever explained it to them, just like that? That you cannot really control it and that their comments are frustrating to hear? If you have and they still behave like this, I’m sorry to tell y...

My family is typically nice to me, but I wish they understood that I can’t easily control my speech. All they do is tell me to talk normally and clearly....

I'm sorry but your family are assholes. It's not your fault. Stuttering is nothing to be ashamed of and people who mock you for doing it are not worth your time. If they keep it up, stop speaking to t...

I usually hit them with the “no I have a stutter but thank you for being ignorant” and they try to backpedal so hard they nearly trip over themselves trying to apologize. It gets better, I’m about to ...

I've been getting the "did you forget?" a lot recently. It absolutely sucks, no doubt, but you just gotta swallow it, politely correct them, and move on. Ultimately they mean well. The moment a stutte...

Tell the teacher you have a block on words that start with p and ask for an alternative. If they say no force an alternative and if they still have an issue take it futher up the chain. They can't for...

Honestly I would be upfront with the employer and tell them you have a stutter and chances are that they won’t care. For me telling someone I have a stutter takes a bit of the stress away because ther...

It's ok to ask what she prefers. In the meantime, your default should be to let her finish when she's in the middle of stuttering or a block or a prolongation. If she gets blocks a lot, I'd ask her i...

If u are really concerned abt him, just leave him on his own. Why do u want to help him? Do you want him to feel more miserable? Treat him the way you treat others. Any special treatment will make him...

Asking in specific circumstances is usually the best. e.g. if you're getting food together, ask if she wants help ordering. if you're talking and someone finishes a sentence for her, ask if she's ok w...

I’ll say man don’t let them talk to you and talk to them. So ask them questions about their dress or suit. Let them run their mouths instead lol....

Your teacher needs to be more considerate if you cannot be able to present slides because of a stammer then a recorded solo presentation should be available...

If you fail to figure out a direct reason, my best idea has always been to make one up that helps you deal with it. Mine is similar to others, if I didn’t have it I would have been too powerful. In a...
