Damn. I feel for you brother, sucks to have ones inability to communicate clearly be mistaken for lack competence. Happened to me more than a few times now. Whats your move now? Gotten another job?...

I just finished college two month ago. I got my first interview 3 weeks ago. It was the first professional interview I ever do. It was in English (which is my second language). I got straight up rejec...

The mindset is everything...you have only one life and because this problem (there is much worst in the world) you limit yourself. My speech change when I started to improve other areas of my life,be ...

Fluency is not the goal. It is a very small portion of the overall goal of "overcoming stuttering". Some insight from a newly-fluent speaker and asking for advice.

Then you don't stutter lol that's the test. Like I said above just practice calmness. Calmness is the major key for me. I couldn't even say my own name in school I used to stutter so bad now because I...

That right there is your hope. It's your anxiety of knowing you might stutter and someone is listening, not that you do stutter. I used to stutter so bad in school if someone asked me my name I couldn...

Job Interviews

Job Interviews Let me start by saying, I try not to be one to throw pity parties for myself or encourage others to do that. But man, job interviews have really got me down and feeling shit about myse...

Keeping eye contact is very uncomfortable, but I force myself to because I feel like it is something that I can control, and it gives me confidence during a conversation. For me personally, maintainin...

Its not going to happen for 99% of us. Achieving perfect fluency in adulthood is close to an impossibilty believing in some no stutter miracle only leads to heart break, sadness and more anxiety and d...

The thing that helped me the most with anxiety is my speech therapist reminding me I'm not weird/strange for stuttering. She told me to just say I have a stutter before starting a conversation with s...

Same here bro. I like a girl in my office but not able to talk to her. Don't know why? When I see her I just start shaking inside, so don't know if I can ever talk to her...
