I hope this catches you before you go in. The Majority of people don't care that you stutter. They care that you care you stutter. You stutter, you can't hide it. Just be honest. Say you are nervou...

Good luck lad, try to remember no one’s bothered how you say something they will be looking at what you say - it’s okay to take your time with words, if you begin by disclosing that you suffer with ...

Got a job interview today

Got a job interview today I had a job interview in May. I stuttered so much. The night before, I didn’t sleep, I was shivering and deathly anxious. Almost fainted before I went to the interview. The i...

If it helps, it took me a couple *years* to realize one of my old bosses had a stutter. He was able to keep it mostly under control, but it would happen a little more often when he was nervous. He wou...

Confidence, and *compensating*. And before you say that compensating is superficial and a bad idea, hear me out. We compensate all the time and cater to compensations all the time. See a car you lik...

German-speaking SW developers who stutter?

German-speaking SW developers who stutter? Hey everyone, are there any German-speaking (mobile) software developer amongst you? I'm currently looking for support to work on a project (side project ...

Yeah. Work or school were really my best bets as I'm not really social or extroverted enough to go out a lot, but at the same time, shitting where you eat seems like a bad idea. I couldn't imagine hav...

Genetics?

Genetics? So I’m 23 going to college and working as a bartender. My aunt and grandmother both have a stutter. I used to go to school to be a SLP (speech pathologist) and they always told me that stut...

Being an SLPA is a great idea and it gives you a lot of valuable experience. If you can find a part-time summers program where you can work and still go to school, I'd strongly recommend! Feel free to...

Maybe you're right but I can't stop it from being embarrassing, especially in the work place. No matter how much I speak in public or on the phone, its still embarrassing and hard to ignore...

I'm not at the point, thankfully but it is getting pretty stressful at times working in a call centre when my stutter kicks off. It seems unprofessional, could delay help and is simply embarrassing. ...

Very similar for me. I guess in my twenties (especially early 20s), I didn't think about life & financial stresses much at all. If I had $100 in my bank account I was sittin' pretty lol. Everythi...

That’s what I’ve been thinking about. I’m going into third year and thinking to do CSAD to become an SLPA for a while. Is that viable to help us?...

This is my experience as well. 20's the stutter was there, but not a huge issue. I was happy. Now in my mid 30's, moved cities, have what I would call my dream job - and its way worse. The stress of h...

Yeah, I can't say anything. I can barely get a sound out. My mouth tenses up and spasms but nothing comes out. I did have 11 seizures 3 days ago, I'm not sure if that's related at all but... Yeah, I ...

Just Need to Vent

Just Need to Vent So I started working at a call center October 2021. I had a VERYYY minimal stutter to the point nobody even noticed it and I did my job right. I even was recognized for learning ever...

I appreciate that but some jobs simply require clear speech, such as my job that I've fluked. I work as an emergency call handler with a stutter, and it can get pretty bad at times but I'm going 4 m...

Following your dreams with a stutter.

Following your dreams with a stutter. I just posted this as a response, but wanted to share it with the community. Do not deviate from what you truly want, based on your stutter. My daughter sees ...

Do not deviate from what you truly want, based on your stutter. My daughter sees one of the top pediatric doctors in the county. He has, what I would consider, a severe stutter. Sometimes it takes h...
