Has anyone here lost a job, or find it difficult to get employed in the first place, due to their stutter? God I hate stuttering sometimes. I think I was born with mine but it's so fucking embarrassing. I don't mention I stutter when applying for jobs because I'm pretty sure it would mean an automatic no, and then it pops up during job interviews. I've had speech therapy in the past and do my best to remember what they taught me, and I'm grateful that I don't stutter all the time.
