Question for People That stutter Hi Everyone I have stuttered all my life I have went to Speech pathologists for decades In school and out of school My dad has even taken me to professionals and paid close to 5 figures for my visits and nothing I even Have bought books even stuttering &anxiety self cures by lee g Lovett supposed to be the best book. I’m Sick and tired of talking to people and stuttering the way they look back at me makes me want to bust down in tears and it’s killing me like I have no control what’s so ever it’s like my brain is pre programs to stutter. I started my own-credit card processing /atm buisness a year and a half ago and all my customers are my dads friends and them referring me to other people I went to god damn every store to pitch them and I stutter mid conversation and it messes up my whole pitch I have only gotten 2 accounts on my own in the whole year and a half. In some cases like When I used to work in mortgages for a year I didn’t stutter on the phone that much I was a telemarketer I actually was top closers every month I closed 1.3 million my first month I shook everyone in that office because I stutteredwith my co workers they were surprised I could do that because I couldn’t have a conversation with my coworkers without Stuttering 7/10 times. And when I’m with a girl I don’t stutter at all. My question is if I don’t stutter on the phone with strangers and when I’m. On dates with girls why do I stutter in every other conversation
