We should alwaysbe a work in progress. 👍🏽 For context, when I started my current job I would try to do everything I could via email and avoided calls like the plague. Now, I don't hesitate to pick ...

The reality is that most educated women just want a good looking man with a good career who respects them. There aren’t a ton of people who check all three boxes so just check all three boxes and you’...

stuttering takes all my energy

stuttering takes all my energy Do you guys familiar with the feeling of constant fatigue? No matter how well you slept, how well you eat, etc.? Just a few minutes of talking with a severe stutter on p...

I always say it before job interviews or some other important event. Especially if they are in English, which is not my native language. All of the interviewers have always been receptive and told me ...

Literally I was not able to sleep yesterday because of thinking about a girl so in office I faced more stuttering than usual. I felt anxious and faced one interview too for one hour, stuttered more th...

great job on disclosing your stutter during the interview. After you get the job the transition will be much easier since everyone will already know...

But you said employers dont care about if someone stutters. So can you see if you are being rejected (by anything, anyone) EXPLICITLY because you stutter, and these occurences happen every few months...

I have been underpaid in previous jobs because the managers assumed I am intellectually disabled and won't notice. Yes, all people are disadvantaged in some way, but only certain groups are treated as...

OP... Did you post to rant or did you post to argue your opinion? Based on your replies to most every reply, It seems like it's the latter. I agree with you that it is BS when people believe they ...

Good for you x2. If they use it against you, that’s a toxic work environment and even if it is your dream job, your colleagues would end up making it miserable. That being said, I wouldn’t be shocke...

I understand the emotion with which you're writing this, but not everyone is in your boat. The situation differs for everyone, and you have to understand that. One single opinion can never be applied ...

Not necessary try harder - but smarter. Focus on what you're good at instead of trying to do what you unfortunately are not naturally better than others...

No inconsistency. All the rejections are your own fault - simply understand what are you good at and focus in that. I wouldn't apply for a Spanish interpreter job if I can't even speak Spanish....

As I said, everybody has issues - that doesn't mean you must play a victim. If you apply for a management role where most of the management happens verbally, then you should expect the results. Just a...

I agree we should not play the victim card and blame all of our misfortunes on our stutter. But to imply adult stutterers do not get discriminated against solely because of our stutter is ignorance. ...

Yeah I think that is the right thing to do, if you get the job it will take the pressure away from hiding it and being discovered. Good for you 👏🏻...

I’ve been exactly where you are. When I was 16 I went to the principal and told them my parents were getting a divorce (which was a lie) and it’s had a huge effect on my stuttering and I don’t want to...

USA here. I’m probably in the minority but in grade school my classmates were very supportive - probably because we grew up together from a very young age. Going to high school was different as I ...

Just keep it easy. In Ukraine, I had many friends who stuttered because our language has much more straight and hard sounds. And even with stuttering they created a family and found good jobs. I alw...
