Damn bro 2 Days before?!?! That had to be a such a life crushing moment to know you went through training just for that to happen, and yea I’m going Army so hopefully they don’t give me a tough time e...

I wouldn't do it, personally. Way too stressful and serious a place to have a stutter, in my opinion. I just hate being a liability for situations that are possibly life/death, where that outcome dep...

i never tell them bc every job that offers me an interview is a service job where 50% or more of it is just talking 😭...

Personally for me it's not any harder to live a normal life than anyone else. It's not like we're dying or wheelchair bound or something that would actually hinder anything. I can't think of any job o...

It's can be rough or easy based on where you get stationed, but I found that as long as i wasnt incompetent in my job everyone was fine with it. Speech therapy is free too. My stutter and pronunciatio...

I think it depends on the job, for me I don’t tell them because my degree requires a job that involves talking a majority of the time (ugh I don’t know why I did this to myself) so I’m afraid it’ll lo...

I heavily agree with this! Letting them know upfront shows confidence in yourself, and it also prevents them from perceiving you as “shady” or “nervous.” The human subconscious naturally perceives stu...

Stress induced was my first thought, and medical school makes sense. Obviously, without taking a deep dive who am I to know what this is but stress management is a tricky thing. I also handle stress v...

I have had some pretty intense interviews (some with a panel of 6 or 7). I always tell them at the start of the interview that I stutter but it won't impact my ability to do the job. I feel like it ta...

I don’t know much about your degrees, but is there any way you can pivot to tech? Lots of remote work in tech and b to b, and the culture is inclusive, lot of neurodiverse people who have carved the w...

100% possible I stutter and joined the army right after high school. I did active duty infantry for 4 years, then switched to reserved for another 4. The biggest challenge I faced was speaking to a...

I don't get why you wouldn't have personality? Instead of going out in high-school I've spent numerous evenings watching youtube videos and TV series developing way deeper interests than others and ha...

It depends on which branch and how bad your stutter flares up. I say this because I got entry-level separated 2 days from graduating for bmt from the Air Force and got sent home for my stutter. I am...

I’ve been in the US Army for 12 years. Once you get over the jokes (or beat them to the punch and make jokes before they can) it’s fine. No one cares about your stutter as much as you do. I will say, ...

1st thing 1st thank you for your service my man, and a combat role is what I’m looking forward to also. Figured it would be rough but did others give you hell about it? Like higher ups or upper comman...

Military Service

Military Service Any stutters in here serve in the military? If so how is it? I just decided I’m going to take the step in my life to start studying soon for the ASVAB entrance test to hopefully be ab...

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be the center of attention. It's just not my personality. I've been at my job for 15 years and I have been in leadership positions before, spoken in large meetin...

For the years I'm trying not to be in the center of any attention but seems like I can't control myself. I like learning, responsibilities, leadership but at the end I fail and get myself shamed and r...

Surely you have other things going for you. Are you a charming person with cool hobbies and a dynamic worldview who also happens to stutter? Or is your entire identity that you stutter? Because yeah, ...

new job i rarely post but i wanted to share i got a job offer the other day! during my phone screening, i did stumble over my words and also in my interview. I was ready for another rejection but the ...
