Working a communicative job ​ Hey everyone! I'm new to this sub but obviously not new to the topic at hand. I chose to go into a field of work that is quite communicative when my speech was still mostly fluent, so about 3 years ago. In fact, for the first 20 years of my life or so my stuttering was mild at most, barely noticeable. It has gradually gotten worse when I started going to Uni. Now, It's very much noticable. Blocks, stammers, prolongations ... I'm battling with feelings of inferiority and not being good enough for what I do because of my speech impediment. And I dread making phone calls because I cant get things out fluently at all. I feel like communication is a key competence for many jobs in general. And I feel like it's a huge obstacle in my life because my stutter prevents me from communicating things well; well as in quickly, fluently. I feel like one gets looked down on by people when they stutter, seen as less competent. Does anyone with a career that needs them to communicate a lot want to share their struggles and successes? I'd be very, very thankful!
