Hey OP! I stutter, and I work in a call center. I've been with my current company since April 2012, and I worked in one for 2 years before that. I don't do calls anymore as I'm in a manager role, but...

Ironically enough, the older I get the more my stutter bothers me. My parents feared I would be mocked and made fun of wen I was a child and therefore not have any friends, whereas I didnt have that p...

Had the same situation. Think I went to 50+ interviews, some of them where good some of them were terrible. Finally got the opportunity to start working at a multinational company, where they value ...

Yeah people tend to be more understanding but try to practice your public speaking and team work to the maximum. Had the same situation as you, so I started avoiding all these situations were my stu...

Oh crap, this is going to be me tomorrow except it’s a video call. You know the feeling when you’re stuttering so bad and you see the interviewer struggling for you? Painful...

till recently I was the ecact same but i'm gonna start somdthing next month so don't give up you'll find something thats right for you. If they're losing interest then they're the problem as they are ...

Oh definitely, I started the process to jumping the electricians union a year ago and today is one of the biggest days of my life, the interview...

1. Yes I did 2. Most of my elementary years 3. I did help but I feel like my stutter still kept me from doing things that I wanted to do. 4. Slowing my speech, I would rush and stutter so much. I s...

From China country boy (with a speech impediment) to American Doctor

From China country boy (with a speech impediment) to American Doctor Hello fellow PWS! I wanted to share my life story and journey thus far as a PWS. I submitted my post on the PT subreddit and de...

I thought I couldn't be in a job where spoken communication was required as a core component done frequently. I'm now in a job where spoken communication is required as a core component done frequent...

I passed several job interviews that I’m pretty proud of. I never been fired but I have quit to move to a higher paying job. In high school I never thought I would even have a job. Now I work at a can...

I don't know if I have a "high powered" job. But I've been a computer engineer for 25 years and am close to the top of my field. I'm in meetings sometimes 5-6 hours/day, frequently with our CTO or CFO...

I work as an IT Help desk agent and I never saw myself doing something like this when I was in high school. I always said to myself that I'll rather have a job at a factory just doing physical labor b...

I regret not going into something more technical like engineering or tech, honestly. I'm in the corporate finance world where verbally schmoozing with the higher-ups and getting them to favor you inte...

I am glad that you can say that you have made peace with stuttering. I don't know your story and don't pretend to sound like I do. But I would like to encourage you to look deeply and ask yourself if ...

I try not to confuse these positive experiences with temporary fluency. That said: As a teenager I worked at Costco. Back then (early 90s) there was a job "front-end caller". Your job was to transfer...

I agree with you on all this, love the fact that I can order food via an app but then they ask my name when I need to pick it up. I know for a fact that I lost some job prospects because I didn’t soun...

The older I've gotten, the less impact I think it would make. Stuttering helped steer me into my engineering career. It helped steer me into fewer but healthier relationships. I *know* how stuttering...

I don't have any answers for you because, as far as I can tell, nobody has any answers. I will say that I, and I think many many others, had years of therapy. In my case it started when I was 7 or 8,...

Thanks for the insights! I appreciate it. As I've aged I've gotten more comfortable with stuttering. In part because of the security of marriage (my ex- never minded) and in part because overall cont...
