My life is a mess. I'm struggling to find a job and I want to be stable financially before even thinking about having kids. I also don't want pass down my stutter to anybody because I know how terribl...

Im putting it off for now, not really cause of my stutter but more so cause of how damn expensive everything is. Supporting a wife and child sounds like a nightmare financially right now...

Congrats on passing the first interview! That's awesome news. 😊 Interviews can be nerve-wracking, but it sounds like you're doing great. I totally get the mix of nerves and excitement. For your next ...

I didn’t put a huge impact on my stutter a couple years ago but I still felt like it helped me back. Once I started working with doctors PAs and patients that’s when I started to get more self-conscio...

don't give up!! I understand and relate but you deserve to exist and thrive in professional environments while stuttering -- having a stutter doesn't make you any less of a great person and great empl...

All my interactions with car salesmen start out with emails for the most part, setting some ground work in the last email before the customer comes in may put both parties more at ease!...

I was there at one point i remember getting stuck on my name working at amazon warehouse overnight… 2 years later i have a fineeee gf and am friends with everyone there just always practice talking an...

I feel like. If I were to do that, I'd still blocking even whisky looking and reading the sticky note. Mike just seems. To be getting worse and worse as time moves on. I did do OK on the phone about t...

Do you generally stammer much using the phone at all now that you’re anxiety and fear has gone?...

I was a desk lawyer - never in court. So lots of technical phone discussions and phone client interaction. I tried to avoid face to face interaction and was usually successful at that....

Just gotta learn to not give a fuck. It’s taken me a loooooong time to get to that point. It’s helped ease the anxiety and fear of being on the phone. I’ve had people hang up on me and it is very di...

I’m a car salesman so most of my job is speaking either in person or on the phone. What do you do for work?...

For me the advantage of the phone is that they can’t see me so I have more delay tricks that they can’t perceive. Closing eyes, nodding head a bit, making a fist, etc. Also, I can say “hm” or “ugh” ...

I've gotten way better over the years - still shy away from it more often than not but that's more just avoiding people yapping my ear off when they could've sent an email. I used to hate the process ...

Problematic but the more technical the convo the better my speech. Calls with a social or pseudo-social component are the worst. The more I call the more “passing as fluent” techniques I come up wit...

Rough day

Rough day Today, I had a bad experience with a student’s parent (I provide OT services). I had to call the mom to ask a question and of course, my stutter is worse over the phone. First, I pronounced...

Thank you for showing fortitude and vulnerability with this recording. I wish you much success. Good luck on the job interview....

This gave me goosebumps. I feel and personally know the struggle of stuttering, and I swear it makes me so happy that you're trying to overcome that shit and live your best life. I believe it's absol...

Max print out some material from the NSAs website about what Stuttering is and bring it with you to your interview. Just to have it if the topic comes up about your stammer and it will. Ask her what d...

Thanks for that website I’ll check that out as a resource. In my reply to her email I mentioned I stutter and it’s easier to meet in person, she agreed and I have an interview scheduled for tomorrow! ...
