I completely agree. Placing so much importance on what others think is a killer. Being your authentic self is key to self-expression. I spent so long but even knowing how to do that, how to be myself....

Couldn’t agree with you more. I went through this in my own journey and once I truly stopped giving a fuck about what other people think, it not only minimized my stutter to what it is now, a mild dis...

No negative life impact from stuttering. The actual answer is different for everyone, but I think most of us want to not have to worry or even much think about stuttering, communicate joyfully, great...

My best advice- confidence. Be confident in your content. You are the 'expert' for the day and you know your stuff. Remember to breathe, drink some water every couple of minutes, and take your ti...

I think everyone who stutters has been through the same. Your outlook will get better with time. My best advice is exposure therapy. Go out and force yourself to do things that make you anxious. As m...

How much is your stutter affecting your confidence in the interviews? I'd hazard a guess that's the reason for your lack of success more then the stutter itself. If you go in with the attitude of "ye...

Well, striving to be happy, relaxed and passionate sounds like a great way to live, and if your speech is better in the process, that's a double win (or quadruple win, whatever). Like you, my speech...
