Holy shit, are we twins?? That's how I feel too, I just get on with my life. (Also late 20's civil engineer, ha!) ...

Being honest about it helps (with yourself and with others). It really reduces the pressure to be fluent. I stutter and I'm a writer and a manager. I'm doing pretty well for myself. I think being unab...

TLDR: Learn to accept and embrace your stutter and people won't care about your speech, period. I consider my stutter to be severe (frequent blocks with facial secondary characteristiics, etc). I am...

Evening or uhm morning? I'm a doctor and have been stuttering since I was about 7years old. With regards to med school and interviews. In my experience it would be best to be upfront about your imp...

I speak often at my job, sometimes over a radio, and I remember my first job dreading this (I had to use a radio then, too) but after awhile I got over it. Exposure helps ease the burden and makes sel...

I have what I would call a mild stutter but when I applied to medical school, it was obviously something that weighed heavily on my mind. I chose to write about my stutter in my personal statement (no...

I don't agree; acknowledging that you stutter is better that trying to pretend it's not there. I don't mean making a big deal out of it, but saying nothing is almost always worse in a situation like ...

That's also what I thought :( but really healthcare is all I feel like doing tbh, and I doubt that I'll be able to make it through other healthcare careers' interviews if I cannot make it thru med sch...
