commentr/StutterApril 7, 2018

I have a moderate stutter, some days severe, and I work in media, where I make calls and do interviews all the time. Was walking through the freaking gauntlet at my first newspaper job. I remember crying about it a lot and being in a perpetual state of anxiety. But it was just the trial by fire I needed. Over time I cared less and less, and I realized no one else cares either. I still stutter just as much but it doesn’t weigh on my mind anymore. It will be hard for you now but hang in there because it might be exactly what you need in the long run.
