Yeah I'm now letting interviewers know that I stutter over email. And I'm starting to not be ashamed if I'm facing a block. I'll just take a breath, slow down and repeat myself. It'll be a long proces...

Thank you. I'm learning that what messes me up in interviews is trying not to stutter by thinking about how to say each word properly. I'll try to get into the habit of trying not to think about it. I...

That is so true. Self-acceptance is the first step to reducing social anxiety. If I‘d waited to have a life until I finally became fluent at 70, I’d have missed out on my entire education, marriage, ...
