don't give up!! I understand and relate but you deserve to exist and thrive in professional environments while stuttering -- having a stutter doesn't make you any less of a great person and great employee!! my stutter is also a lot more intense in high stakes scenarios so I also hate interviews and stuff, but I've started disclosing my stutter as one of my strengths during interviews and that's helped me! I frame it in a positive light, mentioning that my lifelong stutter has made me an amazing communicator, a great listener, it's expanded my vocabulary due to me switching my words all the time, and it makes me compassionate and understanding! those are all great qualities to have in an employee.
