I started to cry reading all of this. 34 here and stuttered all my life. Would never wish it on anyone. There is nothing you can do about it. I cant say anything these others havent said. Stutters now...

I am a dev too and this is literally my experience. I went through series of interviews where the interviewer told me they couldn’t understand me. It was difficult but overtime I learnt to speak a bit...

I'm sorry this happened to you, I know how it feels. I'm a dev too, if you want you can msg me and we can connect on social media so I can widen your reach. If I know someone in your specialty, I woul...

What I mean by cycle was my speech getting better and worse on an occasional basis. Well, if it weren't for it, I would have less difficulty in finding a job, having a gf etc....

Yes, I may be able to speak more confidently than in the past, but this progress hasn't helped at all as a 24-year old, broke and stutterer guy with no job and whose only occupation is graduate school...

My family was also like that, acting like my stammer is something to be swept under the rug and forgotten about, but what they don’t realise is that it’s an integral part of you and can’t just be “sol...

You have the exact right angle here, mom is wrong. It’s ok to stutter. The National Stuttering Association has a wealth of resources for people who stutter looking for a job, including practice inter...

Wow, it sucks that they let you go because of your stutter i believe that the executive and the hr team are assholes and I'm glad that you're not working there anymore as they probably didn't see you ...

Listen let’s stop the bs here. It’s is because of our stutter and it pisses me off!! I’m in a job for two years and I’m the least paid person in my roll and they give me reasons about stupid things bu...

I don't have much to contribute, but I just want to say your story is inspiring; the fact that you have been able to be successful in life regardless of your stuttering. That sucks that you were fired...

Is anyone else’s family critical or judgmental of them having a stutter? (Family/career related vent)

Is anyone else’s family critical or judgmental of them having a stutter? (Family/career related vent) This is a bit of a long vent, thanks for reading this if you do! I’ve had a stutter since I was l...

Hard drugs and sex with prostitutes /s Honestly OP your best bet is to focus on the things you can control. For most of my childhood/time as a young adult I wanted to be a Navy SEAL and I knew my stu...

do you even have a stutter??? Is this what people see “stuttering”? What about people like me with blatant severe stutters that are denied friends jobs and respect? No amount of self confidence is g...

From my opinion if you think he doesn't deserve the job because of his stutter that's too bad. I'm almost a 100% he chose the field he is in and wants to go full time because he thinks he can do it. A...

I believe It’s not how you say it, it’s the content of what you say. I have a stutter and have held top level, management positions in government and non government organisations. I have never been d...

I feel you! I don’t stutter and am a speech therapist so that’s my perspective. I guess it depends on the severity of the stutter and the person. I know a speech therapist with a stutter and he’s grea...

Just my idea, but realistically an outreach job requires effective communication. And that'd not really possible with a bad stutter. I stutter and I realize that I'm not suited for certain jobs. And t...

Is he qualified for the position or not? I’m sure he’s aware of his stutter and would pursue therapies if he wanted. The thing with stuttering is it’s not guaranteed speech therapy will make it better...
