Successfully received 13 calls today at a call centre as my first-time job! Hey ladies and gentlemen. I just wanted to share this small happiness with you people to let y'all know that I have had a sucessful day by receiving 13 calls without stuttering and similar. However, since English isn't my mother language, I had quite some issues while listening to a woman who spelled her email address to me one word after word. We had to go through thst issue more than 10 times, but thano God she was patient, understanding and lovely knowing I'm not a native Canadian Honestly, I don't really stutter as in "repeating the same word a couple of times," but more in a way where I just stop and need a second or two to spell out a word. It's like a, you know, let's just say a blockage by having troubles pronouncing certain words. However, I just want to let some people know who are really struggling at call centres, guys, no matter what happens, no matter in what situation you are, nothing lasts forever. Not even the pain you're carrying with every day hoping it will disappear or get better one day. Will your stuttering disappear forever? Maybe. But will your pain disappear forever? Yes and no, but there's great news for you, it will 10000% get better. Nothing lasts forever, no matter how deep you think your stuttering issue is, no matter how mentally and emotionally defeated you think you are, I will put my hand in fire and guarantee that your pain will disappear slowly and better days will come your way.
