Solidarity I just wanted to introduce myself, as I’ve been a longtime lurker and a lifelong stutterer. I’m currently in my early thirties and working in Fintech as a software engineer. On the outsid...

I have had that problem my whole entire life, I have a bachelor's in computer science and instead of getting those jobs I get warehouse, production and assembly jobs instead and being denied to level ...

I am exactly the same. I feel like social anxiety has genuinely very little impact on my speech. It definitely does but I stammer almost the same if I’m cuddled in bed or at work with people. I know e...

Hands down, depends on your situation. A symptom of social anxiety is stuttering, but the hardest part of having a stutter is we might never know the exact cause, everyone’s different and research is ...
