Slightly on a tangent : is there any domain / area where you're am expert or better than most? If you're in a job where you're respected by default due to your expertise, it'll add to your confidence ...

Not being taken seriously because of my stutter.

Not being taken seriously because of my stutter. Nobody seems to take me seriously. I have a stutter on a scale of 1-10 is a 7. Long breaks and pauses and stammers during my sentences. Lots of hand ge...

Amen. Took a job in a pizza restaurant and I constantly ask my manager to put me on the start of the line as often as possible. I need to ask a lot of things, say their names, explain things to.peolle...

I'm actively improving and challenging myself. Something 90% of you guys fail to do.

I'm actively improving and challenging myself. Something 90% of you guys fail to do. So I've figured out that my stutter is mostly mental conditioning and constantly reminding myself that I'm going to...

Breaking Point

Breaking Point I don't want to sound like I'm complaining at all. But I really have no where else to turn. My stutter has gotten so incredibly bad that it has taken complete hold upon my life. Brief n...

so good for you. i work in a power plant as a system engineer, last year i was resigned as a head of 18 person team. every workday i must talk a lot, but i am a stutter, lol. i doubted they can under...

Hahah yeah don't worry. I do my share of socializing. I'm lucky my stutter isn't too bad when I'm in a comfortable environment. It's the anxiety that makes it worse. I studied marine science in scho...

I work in a small marine botany research lab for the state. Most of what I do is lab work alone, so I've lucked out with not having to talk a lot. Mostly I listen to podcasts. ...

Yes. Maybe I'm the only one, but it is a part of me and made me into who I am today. Don't get me wrong, I have never really accepted my stutter and hate 'doing' it, but I like the person I am and the...

To me rejection isn't easy. Especially if it is because of my awkwardness or speech. But I really want to improve my communication skills along with my fluency. That can be an awesome combo I think. T...

My story is very similar to yours. My family says I was born with a stutter (which is normal when we first begin talking) but mine never went away. In high school I had friends who I really cared abou...

Same here. Stuttering only really became a problem in my teens - I suspect because socialising in childhood is a lot more non-verbal (we just yelled and waved sticks around) but as we mature it's conv...

Find your manager and have a talk with him. Tell him of your stuttering disability. However, i bet he now already knows....

Hey there! Like somebody suggested, anti-anxiety medication can be useful to somebody who stutters. I spoke with my GP about starting medication at the end of July to help my stutter. My stutter/block...

Sadly, Avoiding it will always make it worse. I always feel ashamed of myself for stuttering at work but the people I talk to 99% of the time just stand there and wait for me to finish and don't react...

Yes. You should work somewhere where you are appreciated and where your talents and skills are used the best and where there's some freakin' sense of order. Good grief. So....yeah, if it's a place ...

Apparently the secretary and the other admin assistant (who has nowhere near my work load or responsibilities) can't talk to each other. I don't know. The "office manager" just got the title, so I fee...

Explain your situation. When I joined my work, I explained them my vocal behavior and asked them to ask me again if they didn't understand something I spoke. I may not be doing the best but with whate...

> I'm just exceptionally frustrated today. Oh, God, of course you are! Wow, the place sounds....disorganized? And not exactly responsive. I wish I knew more. I don't know if how much weight it...

My best advice is to let them know you have a stutter. It can be embarrassing stuttering in front of a manager or a superior, but unfortunately at most jobs (especially corporate) you cannot get away ...
