It doesn’t go away. I stuttered since I was 6 or 7. Looking back I don’t remember high school being that bad. I mean, outside of the dreaded presentations here and there. University and nursing schoo...

28. It may never go away but managing it gets better over the years. One thing that has worked for me is self improvement through: 1. Learning to not giving a fuck. 2. Improving my physical self ima...

I work as a sign language interpreter. Primarily at a high school but secondarily at a Video Relay interpreting call center. Basically a deaf person has a camera attached to their TV, they call a hear...

For those of you who talk on the phone for a living what do you do and how did you get the job?

For those of you who talk on the phone for a living what do you do and how did you get the job? I read a book years ago that mentioned stutterers who were able to get high stress jobs like 9-1-1 opera...

I'm a 15 year old guy who also stutters. In my case, I used to be afraid of social interactions and I'm still in some cases. What has worked better for me is thinking in what I want in life: Do I want...

I don't know if this is the best advice, but I think its a bad idea to try to hide or mask your eccentricities when it comes to stuttering. I've been stuttering my whole life and it hasn't been much...

Yeah I’ve gone through the tensing as well. I used to be depressed about it, but now I just brush it off or get angry at the occasional idiot. The lucky thing is at this point in time in the world, ev...

As Stutterers we all pick up bad habits trying to speak. How have you conquered your bad habits?

As Stutterers we all pick up bad habits trying to speak. How have you conquered your bad habits? Hey everyone, first time poster in this Sub. I’ve had a stuttering issue since I was 4 (now 28). Altho...

I have a stutter that's mild but can become moderate in stressful situations and I just had a job interview a few weeks ago for a healthcare position. There were many other people at the interview who...

ProTip: Tell your interviewers that you stutter at the beginning of the inerview. I always did that in interviews and was way more fluent than I would have been if I didn't do so. Plus once they kno...

You are welcome. I am passionate about nursing. I am also like you. I have a very mild stutter, but can pass as being a fluent speaker most of the time. But then it comes in waves that I have no contr...

Thank you for such a thorough response. I work as a resource nurse and I float between the ER and pretty much every other ward in our acute hospitals. I think the floating is now getting to me... addi...

I do... RN (7 yrs) now in Graduate school to be come an NP. My stutter is quite mild but comes in waves that can border on moderate.I worked ER most of my career but now that I am in Graduate school ...

Me! Im at a level one trauma center and for me the hardest thing I find is to be able to give important information to my doctor's. Not all of them, but a few of the old school, hard hitting ones cle...

I don't mind if it's a close friend and they know what I'm going to say (after all almost everyone does this in conversation). But I hate it when it's Karen in the office just guessing random wrong wo...

If you were a woman, black, or an amputee, your interviewer would immediately know what was up with that, with no confusion and no need to ask. If you were gay it would be none of their business to kn...

I would suggest warming up before every interview. Talk to a friend or talk on discord--either about the job or just anything in general. It helps me to phone someone and chat and go out of my way to ...

LOL. That LOL wasn't to laugh at you, but to laugh with you when you realize that we are a special breed and we should only be motivated to prove something to OURSELVES. I am pursuing my MBA and a car...

I’ve totally been in your shoes, just graduated college. The first interview is always the worst. Mine was terrible but every one gets better (excluding external factors, like if the interviewers are ...

You may not get this job, and that's ok. I understand you feeling bummed out right now. I'm also sure the person you talked to will remember the most brave candidate they had all day. As stutters some...
