First time posting on here - advice on situation or your tips/tricks on going through life A little background about me - I'm a female in her early 20's who has a mild stutter but it's quite obvious when I talk on the phone or when I'm out and about. At home, if I talk to myself or my parents, I'm okay. Been a long time lurker and thought I would post here for some insight. So I'm done with college and I can't find a job! I went to a good school and have some relative experience but I can't find a legit job. The only jobs I've had were a seasonal retail position and a barista job but I quit that one. How do I go about finding a legit job? My background is in business. I don't let the interviewer know or make a note of it because this topic is very very sensitive to me. I don't like talking about it but today, when I was out ordering food, the person made a comment on it and it def brought it to my attention since he was the only second person when I'm out and about who mentioned it. Going through life, it's made me see myself as a person that can't be who I want to be. Of course I want to be outgoing and social but because of this, I mostly stay home and not talk to people. I have no friends and I don't think anyone wants to be friends with me. AND the fear I have too is what if I can't find someone to date? I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life (mind you, I have no siblings and my parents are my only fam). That's one of my biggest fear. I apply to jobs but when they want a phone or in person interview, I don't go. I can't be who I want to be because of this and it's hurting. I've been to four speech therapists and tried what they've told me and it helps slightly but not really. So I don't know what to do and would love some advice/tips on how to cure/reduce it if you have and how can I go about living life. I don't like to talk to people because of this and idk how I can live the life I want with this. I always think "why me" although it's not that bad as other things I could have, I get teareyed up and cry hard over this matter. Thanks!
