This is amazing dude, I’m in awe of your courage. I’m desperately looking for a job right now (I’m a graduate and if I want to carry on living where I am with my friends I need a job). I had an interview for a shoe shop sales assistant recently and haven’t heard back yet, but I’m hoping to soon as the interview went pretty well I think. The first job I had was waitressing when I was 17, which I ended up getting fired from. At the time I had bad anxiety, ptsd, depression, and my stutter didn’t help. This has made me feel terrible about my stutter, feeling like it’s always going to stifle me. But I need to just be honest about it and not let it cripple me with anxiety to the point I can’t focus on my job. It takes guts to get out there and work with a stigmatised speech impediment. I’m always in battle with it, although I can talk and can work around it to the point of people thinking I am somewhat fluent, I still struggle. I always think what if a customer asks me a specific question that I have to provide a specific answer to that starts with the letter B, or D? Or another letter I get stuck on.. but I guess it’s just well, push through the block. I’m constantly in battle with my stutter as it makes me feel like I’m defective and less than, and I’m sure other people view it in that light. It’s horrible. But it is what it is and I have to learn to work with it, not against it, if I want a fulfilling life. Thanks for sharing, this post has really inspired me man x
