So what did you do and what worked? I choose work that doesn't involve much talking but the thing is - how can I get past the interview? I mean I do well when I'm comfortable and I'm fine with my pare...

Okay. How about the other person's response or reaction? What am I supposed to do about that? What if they still find me weird or something? I still don't want to tell people about it. They might find...

>I feel so embarrassed of my speech. May I ask, why are you embarrassed? It's not your fault - you're not doing anything wrong - you just have a stutter, which means your speaking comes out slight...

Okay so what do you mean overcommunicate in other ways? What if I disclose it and I get negative reception? I see. Good luck with that part to the both of us. I was tempted to do it but very unsure....

I like to think of it as similar to apologizing for interrupting yourself with a cough. Once you stop being ashamed of it, that's essentially what it becomes....

How can I face it? I do but I get the same weird responses. People make weird faces or speak or answer back in a weird tone. It makes me different and to me it makes myself say handicapped or disa...

I did. I said I can talk I went to school I went to college and I had retail jobs but the fact that the person said that and the fact that someone might say something like that again makes me scared. ...

I absolutely feel this. I've had people laugh and it just makes you want to crawl under a rock and never speak again. All you can do is take care of yourself tonight and remember that tomorrow is a ne...

Is anyone else's self esteem shattered?

It is hard to know whether it makes you that much shyer than you would have been if you did not have a stutter....

Yeah I am the same way to when it comes to speaking with strangers after a while. I wasn’t necessarily ashamed of it during elementary school, but one I got to around 7th/8th grade, I just went about ...
