Thoughts on 'throwing yourself in the deep end' via a new job? I currently work in a restaurant as a waiter, and for irrelevant reasons I'm considering leaving. This requires a lot of speaking - but a lot of it is non-urgent and to other members of staff i.e. I have the freedom to stammer (although it will often be an inconvenience when we're busy). I think a critical difference between this new job is that I'll be speaking with people outside of the charity - not sure how often but I will, but I will. So there'll be the additional pressure to present myself well as well as the perpetual pressure to speak fluently. Not really sure if I should change. I worry I'll get overwhelmed by the stammering related anxiety. I very much think of this as a make or break situation, and I worry it'll break me. I am also of the view that you have to get comfortable stammering before you can get comfortable speaking. I'm not sure. Namely looking for people who have experience, but welcome anybody's opinion on this
