Hey man, I'm 27 years old and I've also been stuttering since a child. I was in the same position as you - a 20-year-old in college with a semi-severe stutter (blocks). I lost confidence in myself at this time and struggled in every interview. 7 years later, I'm finally starting to realize what I should have learned way earlier in life: that stuttering is okay. I work as a venture capital investor right now and have taken leaps to build more acceptance in my speech, and the most important thing I had to realize was that my stutter can't be cured, but it can be improved. It's okay that you stutter and we as people who stutter shouldn't let this hurt our self-esteem, but for so many of us, it does hurt our self-esteem. I launched a community for professionals who stutter a few months ago with almost 200 members already - it's free and I recommend you join as it's completely free and is meant to help all of us build more acceptance in our speech ([www.stutterfreely.com](https://www.stutterfreely.com)). The idea is, when you meet other people who stutter, you start building more acceptance in your speech and improve your self-esteem. As people who stutter, we represent 1% of the global population, meaning that we're constantly surrounded by people who speak differently than us. This wires our brain into thinking that our stutter is wrong and needs to fixed when in fact it's really just our accent and nothing else. There's nothing wrong in having a stutter and rather, over time, you'll learn how empowering it is! Reach out if you ever want to chat and cheers to personal growth!
