25 yr old male, stutterer, working in sales.

25 yr old male, stutterer, working in sales. Hi all. I've always wanted to post on reddit about my story and just hear feedback. I'm a 25 year old male with a, I guess, light-moderate stutter. On some days, I can talk relatively freely, I know i'm stuttering over some words but i don't pay attention to it and it feels amazing. Other days, I get that anxious feeling over me, and I can't even introduce myself. Funny thing is, I work in sales and business development, which may sound like a nightmare to some stutterers. To be frank, as a kid realizing I had this impediment, i always thought i was destined for a very boring, behind the scenes type job. My dad stutters, and so do some of my male cousins, so I put the blame largely on genetics. What I found WORKS for me - I talk MUCH more smoothly: \- after a good workout, or a brisk 15 minute walk - i'm relaxed \- in quiet areas - small meeting rooms, quiet restaurants, where I can "hear" myself talk \- when I talk slower \- when i rehearse what i want to say What i find makes my stutter WORSE: \- loud areas - loud restaurants/cafeterias. In situations where the environment is loud and i can't hear my own voice, every damn fucking sentence i start with a stutter \- waiting in line gives me crazy fucking anxiety. Like, if there's a long line up at mcdonald's, i just stare blankly at the cashier and dont say anything for 10 seconds before i can get my words out. But i'm more than fine doing drive through where i bark at a little speaker, or at sit down restaurants where i can read out and point at the menu at what i want. \- i have a big problem asking for something at a loud restaurant. I can't say, " can i get a glass of water?" What i found has helped over the years: \- working out/bodybuilding made me much more confident in general \- having a relatively "large" vocabulary which allows me to replace words on the fly \- to the above point, i read a lot of books which i believe has helped my vocab \- understanding WHICH sounds you stutter on/can't say and building your own little library of synonymous words. EXAMPLE --> i can't say the word "decision" so I instead say stuff like "he hasn't made a choice" "he hasn't pulled the trigger" ​ So, I'd love to get some feedback/advice. How can I make myself feel less anxious when waiting in line? How can I talk more smoothly in loud scenarios? I wish there was a VR type thing where we could strap on goggles and be placed in these anxiety causing scenarios and we could just stutter our way through until we become smoother. ​ I look forward to connecting with yall and hope my post helped you in any way.
