I’m going to stop you right there when you say you won’t get anywhere in the business world if you “can’t talk properly.” You can talk properly, because as long as you’re communicating the message, it’s proper. I have a stutter, and I’ve done a fair bit of public speaking and managed small and large groups of people in various businesses. These days my stutter is minimally disruptive, but it hasn’t always been. It used to be bad. Really bad. Once you come to terms with the fact that that’s just how you talk, you rob it of its ability to control you. A confident stutterer is much less noticeable than someone who’s flustered by it. I’m 36, and once I hit my mid 20s I started to care less and less about my stutter. Once that happened, I started to stutter less because I know nothing triggers me like A) stress and B) lack of sleep. I won’t pretend it’s easy, because I definitely remember hearing some snickers at first, but in the other hand: so? If some knuckle dragging chucklefuck doesn’t like your “disability,” that’s not a “you” problem. That’s all on them. You’re in the worst of it now, but remember the saying: “Don’t worry what people think of you, because they probably don’t.”
