That's tough. What country are you working in? When I was 29, I got a job and stuttered so much in the meeting that the manager took me to one side and asked me if I wanted to email him what I was up...

2/2 I’ve been with my current firm ever since. I worked my way up to a management position. I lead a team, give lectures, present, and teach. I stutter while doing it—that won't change—but this time,...

I agree acceptance is soooooo hard. It’s taken you years to solidify how much you dislike / hate your stutter. So naturally it might take a little while to train yourself otherwise. You’re literally r...

I’m still stuck at the accepting part. Lately I’m doing the avoidance reduction therapy and use way less tricks. These tricks also started to work less and less. But now I’m using less tricks the stut...

I think the hardest thing is to accept the fact that you are a stutter and stop looking at other “normal” people for comparison. It doesn’t mean you can’t work on your speech. You just gotta find your...

I’m saying this with love and respect, your stutter is not what’s “holding you back” in life. Your mindset and this belief of who you could/should be is holding you back, not the stutter itself. I’...
