Outburst of a stutterer Hi. I'm 26 years old stutterer and this post is like a relief of pain for me. I always felt in disadvantage in comparison to other people. Like, in school there were so many times that I had doubts on what the professor had said but I didn't say anything and remain in doubt just because I knew I would stutterer when asking. Many were the times that the class was debating about something and I knew i had so much things to say about but I stayed silent just because I didn't want to stutterer. But this post is more about the present days. I'm unemployed and currently looking for a job as an accountant assistant. It as been so hard doing the interviews. But it's harder to know that I don't get the job because I'm a stutterer. There was one guy that told me I would have to make phone calls to clients and they he didn't want a person that stutterers just because it could cause bad impression to them. After this one I was devastated by that and since then I'm having issues trusting in my capabilities e have 0 self confidence. Reading some posts here sometimes helps to boost my confidence and i want to thank you all for that. Sorry for bad english but it's not my native language.
