Let me tell you this bro. Im a law student at a top law school and I have offers from a Big Law Firm. The thing that's helped me is realizing your'e the only thing that holds you back. Your stutter is...

Regardless of your reaction after the phone call, this is still a great achievement you should be proud of. You're new to working so of course you're going to be nervous about every little thing but ...

Like you said I would put myself into situations such as I was a barman and I’d just ask customers questions such as “how’s your day been so far” and then the conversation creates itself so the more I...

Great comments from the others. Seeing the results of leaving your comfort zone takes time. Stick with it! Gradually situations at work will get easier, maybe it takes months, for me it took years be...

My thoughts and possible fix?

My thoughts and possible fix? So im in my mid to low 20s and have stuttered my whole life. I'm super smart, funny, and talented and could definitely achieve more in life if I didn't have this damn stu...

Amazing! I am a stutter bartender and sometimes everything turns so hard when i must talk with ppl about menu and cocktails. Gonna try your technique!...

The thing that helps me the most out of everything is confidence, my speech therapist tried teaching me tricks and tips but it never worked, iv taught myself over the past few years that forcing mysel...

I mention it in interviews in a similar way and ask if that's going to be an issue. Mainly what I'm not sure is more everyday conversation....

Then that very well may be your normal speed regardless of what other people say. But it also is probably because a common thing people think causes Stuttering is talking to fast so people probably t...

That's a true statement. I suppose I've made small progress. Years ago I would never have gone for a call centre job, and now I start one this Monday! I do beat myself up a lot about such small em...

Because life is a fuckin' bitch, my dude. But as others have said, exposure. Throw yourself into difficult situations until they aren't difficult any more. I'm 37 and still stutter, but I caught mys...
