That is brutal...crazy how these situations that happened so long ago stay with us for years. People don’t understand how traumatic this stuff is....
That sounds pretty nerve-wreaking! There's nothing worse then waiting your turn to speak in front of alot of people. I remember back in school when one teacher made everybody say "present" when they c...
Just reading about your experience with the CEO and HR rep made my heart sink. I know exactly how you feel. It’s such a helpless, awful situation. I think we all have those moments burned into our mem...
It's something that I've been thinking about alot lately also. When I first started interviewing for jobs 14/15 years ago I wasn't surprised by peoples reactions, to be honest I was pretty much expect...
I have been thinking about what you said, it’s so true, in 2020, I think people have evolved but stuttering is still not widely accepted and embraced. It seems that every other physical, emotional, or...
Thank you for your response to my OP, it's really reassuring to hear from fellow stutters that have successfully conquered the dreaded job interview, I really hope that I can post positive messages si...

Hi, I can totally relate to you! I am also 23 and have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. The past few years it's gotten really bad. I believe it's because I've become more independent and...
Just wanted to say as someone with what I consider to be a pretty terrible stutter (I can't get through more than a few words at a time if even) who just graduated college, YOU CAN DO IT. I was absolu...

I don't like myself cuz I stutter and I fear I get bullied by that. I am happy to meet new ppl but I forgot that I stutter too. My parents were supportive. When I talk to a girl about it she said that...
I mean it’s not that bad being in a service job but it’s just kind of hard to ask for things or explain stuff because it’s takes longer then “usual” to say stuff. I’m going to try to go back to therap...
