I’m 23 and have stuttered from childhood up until about last year. Right out college, I took a job in sales. This job involves cold calling to find new business and maintaining relationships with existing business. Sure, it was very rough at the start, being that my stutter gave me severe social anxiety, but I have always been very outgoing. After a little less than year, I realized that I rarely stuttered anymore, like once or twice a day I would have a slip up, but nothing more than that. I have come to the conclusion that the amount of phone calls and meetings with strangers have completely made me numb to other people perception of me, thus, causing me to stutter significantly less.
