Little stutter rant Hello. I haven’t been on this subreddit for long, I have posted here and there though. I’ve had a stutter since I was able to talk, had speech therapy for about 5 years, and I’m now a senior in high school and along with getting my high school degree, I’m working toward getting my associates degree. I’m quite proud of myself and my accomplishments and want to go into psychology, currently I’m getting my associates in medical assisting. Here’s my problem. Both of these careers are heavy on communication, and recently I’ve gotten much more confident with myself and my social skills. But I’m nervous. I’m nervous that because of my stutter I won’t be able to do the things that I’ve dreamt about my entire life. I feel like people won’t hire me, or I’ll get sick of the weird looks from people or the annoyed impatient tones. I’m doing well right now, and the only thing holding me back, or at least I think is holding me back is this stupid stutter… I’m working at subway right now and anytime I stutter while talking to a customer I dread the look. I’m sure my fellow stutterers know what I mean. THE look. Idk if I’m looking for advice or reassurance or if I’m just here to get this all of my chest, but either way this subreddit has proven to be very friendly to me.
