I mostly talk to my friends threw school or socials. I usually make time to talk to my closest closest friends about everyday. But then again, with homework and other things, that sometimes doesn't ha...

1. The rude tone above was *to demonstrate* that tone is an important part of communication. It’s to defend people here who struggle to communicate bc their stutter impacts their tone. Oh…. Annnn...

Thank you! Great response! I hope you will contribute more in this community. Yes absolutely, radical honesty by disclosing to listeners: "*that we stutter and need more time to get the point accross*...

I recently have been trying to apply a philosophy of radical honesty about my stutter, which kind of achieves what you’re referring to. I started a new job, and during my introduction on a conference ...

I think this also happens to others too, not just to people who stutter. Some people can be bossy, condescending and think they know what others think, or that their job is to tell others what they sh...

If you saw someone harassing a friend who stuttered, what would you say to them? Would you say something like 'hey leave him alone he's doing the best he can'? Maybe you can tell your inner voice the ...

Laughter is fine but when they imitate me that's where I draw the line. I explain the reasons and they usually apologize afterwards....

If I can’t verbally express my annoyance I will show it on my face. Sometimes when people are interrupting me I put my pointer finger up gesturing like “hey give me a second” as I continue. I have lea...

My husband and I sometimes help with Sunday school and the nursery at church. Since it’s easier for me to give the explanation, I’ll tell the kids something like, “Mr. M stutters. That means he has ...

I had my first job interview about a year ago, i was only 18 at the time with no prior experience so I got basic questions. I stuttered a little bit throughout the prior questions, and then when I wa...

I guess you can't get them to accommodate you. I applaud you wanting to go ahead and try though. At my job, I let them know up front that I stutter and it's worse on the phone so they told me I can ju...

I always disclose as soon as I can and try to make a light joke of it. Usually they are cool with it and it doesn’t affect my chances (been hired many times after disclosing)…and the times where it ma...

I always disclose my stutter in an interview and when I did that, I felt less tense and even found more fluency in my responses sometimes. I felt more comfortable because it was out in the open....

**Acknowledging Stuttering** is to say i have stutter and i need time to speak, It calms you down and calms the listener. It will make you use the techniques comfortably for exemple : **Short ac...

I do a mix of things. As others have said, I try to disclose to the HR people that I have a stutter that is exacerbated when meeting new people but it usually settles down after a few minutes chatting...
