It gets harder I’m a male working as engineer, I have stuttered my whole life. At some point in my life when I lived in the US I came to accept my stuttering and many people were cool, I got to meet p...

I can relate to not saying the stores name too. I used to work in retail and would respond so awkwardly....

Happens when I answer phones. I have to say the company name and I just say hi yes like they're supposed to know they called Jimmy John's. I've said JJ which worked for a while and then didn't after I...

Do you have any tips for job interviews? I mostly stutter + block when having social anxiety, especially in job interviews....

I relate and agree with this. I always think… would I rather have no arms or stutter. I think no arms is worse. Not invaliding a stutter by any means I mean that’s just what gets me through the rough ...

Why would I hide it though? You can't bury it, you can't shut it off, pretending it doesn't exist worsens it. Why not proudly claim it as part of who you are and gain confidence in it? This is the onl...
