I’ve learned how to manage it well. I keep things short but if I’m comfortable around the people I’m around, I don’t mind stuttering. I’m 31 by the way. I didn’t really come out of my shell until I was 27 by accident. I joined the Air Force at 20 and just recently separated last year. I had a career field that required TONS of speaking. They didn’t believe Emmy stutter was bad until they made me do a briefing. Last briefing i did until the accident happened at 27. I was covering a briefing for a high ranking individual. He assured me I wouldn’t have to say anything. Wellll I was the center point of the briefing. There was a room of about 40 high ranking people. I took a deep breath and said fuck it. I did really well. From that point on my career excelled tremendously. I felt like I could do it. Fast forward to me being 31, I work for the Air Force as a Civilian. I’m a Security Specialist and I deal with a ton of people. More like 600. A lot of people didn’t know I stutter because I keep it short or I talk when I necessarily have to. Some days are better than others. My interview was nerve wrecking and I stuttered like crazy. My resume spoke for itself and they took a chance on me. The more comfortable I am, the better my speech is. You have to learn to deal with it and manage it.
