Interview So i'm at a job interview and this is the first time i've disclosed my stutter to an interviewer. I also made it a point to say EXACTLY what I wanted to say. I thought that in doing this, it was going to make me less nervous and more fluent but I was wrong. The guy was nice enough to try to reassure me and keep me calm but I just couldn't get anything out fluently. It was taking me at least 5 seconds per word, my shirt is almost drenched from the sweat on my stomach and I just feel like im a mess.
