I've been in the USAF for 15 years, and I've stuttered for all of them. It's true that they're unofficially disqualified from communications-heavy MOS's/AFSC's, but honestly those are relatively few ...

It amazes me how often non-stutterers mix it up and think that social anxiety causes a stutter. I feel like it’s a common misconception of us. It’s not the anxiety that makes us stutter, it’s the stut...

Stuttering indeed takes up a huge amount of the time I spend thinking about stuff and it's quite sad how us stuttering people think it as the end of the world while most other people don't care, I don...

First off. I would say not to worry about your fluency. I never have, and if they have an issue with it you don't want to work there anyways. You provide value and are worth every cent. As for breaki...

There are different severities of stuttering. A more impactful stutter often means a more damaged sense of self. People who have spent their life feeling inferior need more than just “you can do it!...

Well I’m a woman who stutters and I’m not timid at all. In fact, quite the opposite. I am very social and always talk and say what I want. My attitude- still hey can just wait....

Manager at a vet clinic. Funny enough I went to school for zoology, wanting to work in the lab and researching animals because like you, I didn’t want to talk to people. Took another path post grad,...

Update I noticed something. I’ve realised that I put on a higher voice with people that I stutter with. I just went into a shop to get vape liquid and I noticed that I put on a higher voice. The sam...

Hi there. I think we can pretty much all relate to what you are pondering. The desire to be accepted and valued for who you are. A key message on Reddit has been stammering is part of who you are, not...

There's nothing wrong with stuttering. Most good/reasonable people do not think any less of a person that stutters. If you're cool and confident about it, most other people are cool with it as well. T...
