Well I'd say keep trying to find a job, I don't believe avoidance is good, it's not about powering through, it's about coping with a stutter that's big going away, everyone's in the same boat you have...

We all get nervous sometimes, but common... he knows you stutter. He did not say anything about it. Then what's the problem? Try to be calm, breathe and talk slowly. If you want, you can say to him th...

As everyone has said, that's an outrageously shitty thing for them to say to you. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I know when something is stressing me out, I stutter more. If I'm comfortable and r...
