Stressed out about getting a job So, I’m 15 years old and I’m expected to get a job soon. I do want a job, but I’m expected to talk more and get my stuttering in check before I can even try to get a job by my family. I stutter a lot, and combined with my social anxiety, and selective mutism, it makes it so hard to even go out and talk to a stranger or to more people. I just want a job where I can speak as minimal as possible, but I’m afraid that there are few jobs that don’t expect you to speak to people on the daily. And I know that I should be trying to manage my stuttering, but it’s almost impossible. I can only really talk under pressure, and I think having a job interview would go semi well since I talk better when I’m expected to, but I’m also afraid to talk to people in general, so it’s sort of a huge problem that I can’t seem to get over.
