You can't run away from something as important as work unless you're one of those fortunate enough to not need to worry about money. What you're experiencing is completely normal. I'm 30 & have s...

Literally came here to say this. I got a retail job in October and the difference between then and now is crazy. My chest used to get tight and I'd get really anxious and sweaty when I had to make a p...

I stutter sooo much, and I worked a commission only retail job for 4 years. For some reason when you are put in the situation and are forced to talk, it starts coming out and you will learn the right ...

Life long adult (28) stutterer here. I've worked as a server for almost 9 years and a ski instructor for 5. Everybody deals with it differently, so how I dealt with it might not work for you, but I ju...

Former severe stutterer, now mostly covert, and I've been in retail for 19 years, and eventually moved into management. It was pretty tough for me at first, but once I felt comfortable in the role, my...

Start slow. I started off as a janitor at a casino, now I work as a banquet houseman at a luxury resort. Where I was then and where I am now is way different. I'm working a lot more and feeling way mo...

I just turned 17 and I still don't have a job because I am anxious of my stutter Most of my friends got jobs when they turned 16 while I couldn't even bring myself to apply for job due to embarrassmen...

I am uncomfortable talking about my stutter to anyone .. aside from my family. I don't think anyone at my work knows I have a stutter since I am fairly quiet, but even when I do talk I tend to use wor...

Why do so many people think I'm "faking" my stutter online?

Why do so many people think I'm "faking" my stutter online? I have a pretty bad stutter as it is. I get stuck on syllables, I go "uh, um, like" when I'm talking, and my face gets pretty mangled as I'm...

Hey congrats on that. It can be mortifying to order as someone who stutters - I remember getting told I couldnt get a drink at a bar because I was stammering in my order and the bartender thought I w...

Same as anyone, really. There's nothing serious that separates a stutterer from anyone else. Stuttering has always been a far bigger deal to me than to other people in my life. I also thought I could...

It's really starting to have an effect on my quality of life.

It's really starting to have an effect on my quality of life. Warning, incoming vent about quality of life: I should start by saying that I am 26 and have had a stutter since I was 5. So I have had i...

Yes, and this, OP: Claire works at a fast food place and does the drive-thru a lot, which many many stutterers would not dream of. So, it's a huge triumph, but some days still really suck........

Yeah, but if you're going to feature someone who stutters, you probably want to understand what "overcoming" generally means to people who stutter. It's about having less anxiety about how you are pe...

Are you near Atlanta? I'd love to give it a shot if you are. I have greatly improved my stutter since it first started when I was 9 years old. I am now 22 and working at a fast food place so a lot of ...

Yea, definitely. Make sure you keep your practice up, as it is easy to fall back into old habits. Your absolutely right that the only one we are fooling is ourselves. That is a big part of beating stu...

Great topic, i just came back from the Mcguire Program and thats the first thing they immediately pointed out to me. They taught me how to stop hiding my stutter and just attack it. At first it felt l...

Very nicely written, I used to be like that for 7 years, then my stuttering gotten worse and I was basically forced to reveal my problem to others because I was unable to hide it anymore. I made mysel...

I.T. technician and service desk tech. It's a co-op position at my school. I have to talk all day and explain my fixes to staff. One of the most stressful parts is fixing issues in front of large grou...

Thanks, I guess I'm one. It is a really crappy way to live as I avoid a lot of situations and I can't tell you how many times I didn't order the food I wanted because I would block for a good ten seco...
