Yeah I'm on dev. My customers are internals and teams are fairly small and non-hierarchical. It's a high team stress but low personal stress environment so my stuttering has actually gotten so much be...

Its normal. We all have letters/vowels that are specific to each of us but the underlying issue is the same. The situations you mention just highlight that confidence in yourself to speak will defin...

Stuttering is only one facet of ourselves. Many of us believed that we were doomed to be socially, educationally, and economically relegated to lives of quiet desperation. That’s not true unless allo...

“Our worst enemy looks at us each morning in the mirror.” I’m certain that you’re waaaaay better than you sometimes think! Stuttering too often chisels away at self-confidence, self-esteem, and happin...

Do everything you can to encourage him and don’t make him feel like he’s doing something wrong when he stutters. My family always cast my stuttering in a negative light and even sometimes would scream...

Yup, exactly. For me it was weightlifting. Building my body is the best thing I ever did for my stutter....

I also feel you on that. I became a professional wrestler 15 years ago. Talk about getting over a hump to talk in front of a live crowd. It helped force me to find ways around it. I still struggle, bu...

You have an amazing outlook regardless of each of the neurodivergent issues you face. Your attitude will allow you to overcome many of life’s challenging. Maximize your opportunities by exploring the ...

I had a really bad one almost 20 years ago in college. Even got ghosted which was more odd that long ago than it is now. Got to brush your self off and get the next. But now im a data analyst making ...

Definitely consider adding a booster to your confidence. Something that has a clear path of progression and visible results of your efforts. For me it was weightlifting. This confidence will transfer ...

Breathing exercises, reading from a dictionary aloud, reading a few pages of a book daily, weightlifting sessions at the gym. I stuck to this for 2 years and I don't consider my stutter a problem any...

I feel you. I have been stuttering since I can remember. One day I said fuck it, and started to improve myself. It took a lot of time(2 years) and a lot of disciplined effort. I can explain all about ...

It is not guilt as many people have said. It is self-loathing shame. It is hopelessness. You feel like you can't do even the basics of being human right. You can't talk as easily and trouble-free as o...

Consider talking to more than just girls. Talk to people who you think it would be interesting to talk to, or challenge yourself by talking to people who it would be difficult to talk to. Best of luck...

At least you had the courage to stand up and say your name. In college, either I'd purposely miss the first day due to this, or I'd go to the bathroom before I had to present my name. Don't go down...

I've definitely had this once or twice over the past 10 years or so, but I've been fortunate in getting jobs without having to send out tons of applications and in some interviews you can leverage you...

For sure! Ive learned it is an amazing way to market yourself and I think I’ve landed so much respect because of my stutter but I understand not everyone’s situation is like that. But keep going you g...

I always mention my stutter and how it’s made me a better person and how odds are there aren’t many people (if any at all) at the company who stutter so I could be introducing a whole new perspective ...

Great job. It’s always tough when introducing oneself. The word “introduce” can even make one nervous. I’ve learned once those feelings subside and the anxiety fades out I’m good. Shit I even add “pse...

I love what you said.. Heck yeah mindfulness and BELIEVING, not like that little engine “I Think I Can.” We are all perfectly imperfect; and as stutterer’s we are actually given an opportunity of a li...
