Job and life Hey guys! I am 29 years old, computer science engineer, been stuttering since i am 7, i have a friend who stutter and always played with him, and then “i copy him..” since them life was easy, always hide from everything not making friends.. but the hard part is now, i am 29! Worked for 3 years on a bank as network engineer because i just don’t want to be around anyone!.. i got fired at my job!.. told my parents to help me while i find a new job! and i am afraid to go to interviews! Started studying Google Data Analyst, almost done! I really love this.. but really! It a job where you have to talk to stakeholders! But yeah.. feel like my stuttering is going down, just by reading out loud, being positive, meditate, and smile.. i think i have reduce stuttering by 60%, with people around me.. but i am afraid to go to interviews! Pretty sure we are all capable of, i have a beautiful girlfriend who help me and motivates me that i can, parents support me! As everyone does!.. but my mind is eating me to intervews! What have helped me is speaking with my throat, not sure if its how its says, and speaking slower, and just breathe!! My primary language is Spanish, and i feel like when i speak english, my speaking is better! Thank you guys for reading, this is my first time posting this on public.
