worried about finding work i’m still pretty young, and i’ve been thinking about getting my first job soon. the only problem is that i stutter quite a bit, and a lot more when i’m put under any kind of pressure (which is pretty easy to do). almost all minimum wage jobs require talking quite a bit on a regular basis, so i don’t really know what i would do. not to mention that it’s probably going to be harder to land a job in the first place if i’m stuttering all the way through an interview. i don’t know, i’m just stuck tbh. i’d like to avoid talking/stuttering as much as possible, but it’s so fundamental in finding a job and then actually doing it. i’d love to work and gain some independence, but it feels like an uphill battle to do so
