Go for it! It took me a long time to face my fear of stuttering and pursue what I really wanted to do. I am a 34 year old male in my second year pursuing BSN in nursing....

That’s awesome! I felt the same way with school. I tried to find jobs that suited a sutterer like myself but I wasn’t passionate about those types of jobs. I love science and wanted to major in chemis...

I never cared too much about my stutter, maybe on first dates, maybe i was wirh really good people who showed patience. Try slowing down when talking. Take deep breathes between sentances. Use as much...

The bit about stomach pain and being red, panty etc.was so damn relatable. I found a job in a local bookstore with my pretty severe stutter, and people don't really seem to mind it that much (at least...

Starting with "my name is (blank)" or "Hi, I'm (blank)" are definitely good spring boards. Often times, I will say my name before I am asked for it, as I feel there is more pressure/anxiety subconscio...

Did I make a wrong decision?

Did I make a wrong decision? 32 M here. First, let me just say how great it feels to come to this forum, even just to lurk around. I have been stuttering since childhood. My stuttering is a bit inco...

It went well! They said they were going to give me a call and give me an offer that works for both me and the company....

Great way of disclosing your stutter. Just walk in, smile, and breathe. They already know you stutter, now HIT them with your KSAs (knowledge, skills and abilities). Good luck...

I think it’s admirable you wrote on your cover letter that you stutter. And they are having an interview with you regardless (as they should) so sounds like you will be accepted and will do great Go...

Have an interview in 3 hours and I’m nervous/excited.

Have an interview in 3 hours and I’m nervous/excited. I’m applying for a spa attendant position for Gene Juarez spa and salon. I really want the job but am a littler nervous my stutter will get in the...

I'm also in leadership at a tech company. I agree that small talk is painful but I work remote so I get out of doing most of that. I also lead a group of developers who do not like to engage in any fo...

You are not alone. I don’t have advice other than try to navigate the best you can. The workplace can be cliquish. It’s the undiplomatic ugliness of the natural human congressional condition. Stutteri...

Corporate life is stressful. I really don't know how I'm going to climb the ladder with my stutter.

Corporate life is stressful. I really don't know how I'm going to climb the ladder with my stutter. In the business/office world, talking is everything. You move mountains with your words and build ne...

Does your company have an HR department? Consider a meeting or email that brings that person in the loop. Your manager is playing with discrimination. Under the ADA you have rights. If you like an...

Hey, yeah I have had issues with job interviews. Had an interviewer hang up on me once because he thought the connection was bad when in reality I was blocking. We have good and bad days and honestly ...

Hello OP, I'm doing software engineering in university and have very similar severity of stuttering as you (completely fluent casually but unable to speak when stressed/meeting new people). Can yo...

It got better as time went on for me. I'm in my early 30s now with a great job and gf and all that jazz. I have my issues here and there, but the older I've gotten, the more I realize nobody else real...

That is a good plan. I would also tell him educate him a little and tell him how to act. I can give him he benefit of the doubt and assume he is ignorant and insensitive at best. So it's good to know ...

If you go to speech therapy you'll learn that you do have some measure of control over with it. I don't know why you lied to your boss either. Personally, I have a severe stutter. However, when I slow...

I think I'm just gonna bring it up directly to my manager next week that I felt it was inappropriate. If he still gives me a hard time I'll reach out to hr. Thanks for the help...
