Been there. High school was a very dark time for me. I'm 28 now and working in journalism, where I talk all the time. It gets better, but it can take time. Hang in there, buddy. Push yourself as hard ...

I think I'm about 50/50? It's hard to say. I'm definitely not completely introverted, though I do like my alone time. I love spending time with my friends and I really enjoy my customer service job (e...

I was as a child but then changed in puberty, when I got very self-conscious about my stutter. In certain venues, I'm much more outspoken than normal. At work, I'm vocal and want to be the one leading...

Back in college, my MBTI was INFJ. After working for a few years, in which my first job involved talking to clients, my MBTI changed. Right now it is 50-50 introvert and extrovert. I could say that th...

Few Tinder dates here and there. Active sex life. Semi-serious relationship going on right now. None have cared. Mild to slightly moderate stutterer here depending on the day. Was a kissless virgin ju...

100% in favour of throwing yourself into the fire. It is how I overcame my fear of stuttering. All through high school and university I manufactured my environment to limit the need to speak, even pu...

Thoughts on 'throwing yourself in the deep end' via a new job?

Thoughts on 'throwing yourself in the deep end' via a new job? I currently work in a restaurant as a waiter, and for irrelevant reasons I'm considering leaving. This requires a lot of speaking - but a...

Finally some progress!

Finally some progress! I've stuttered for as long as I can remember, at least as far back as 3rd grade. As an example, since I was a kid I wouldn't order what food I wanted in restaurants, but instead...

dont put yourself in a box. 10 years of IT experience in 24x7 support environments where I had to lead meetings, conference calls, user training. Its going to happen. You will slip up, a word will ge...

Amazon murk or other work online jobs. Very hard to make a living from either though unless you go hard and commit all your time and don't mind working for pennies essentially....

I could imagine situations where you could avoid speech, but it's not tied to any particular job - rather, it's the way it's organized. To put it simply, you'd have to stick to e-mails or text messagi...

Jobs where you don't have to talk ?

Jobs where you don't have to talk ? Are there any jobs out there where you don't have to talk ??...

Hmm. It's no secret that we lock our developers in dimly-lit offices Mon-Fri. I'll edit this to include an actual response tomorrow morning. Edit: are you still in school? And if so, have you land...

I deal with clients almost as often as I deal with internal colleagues. I'll give a more detailed answer in the morning, but for me it comes down to framing my thoughts in an organizational way that...

Placeholder answer for tomorrow morning. I've been busy all weekend and haven't gotten a chance to reply. Edit: Ok. I've interviewed 3 or 4 people with mild to severe stutters. They all displayed ver...

Congrats on your successful career. Stuttering can certainly be a thing that holds people back - glad this was not the case for you. Question: Have you been following any of the research or medicat...

Do you have any interview or job search advice for fresh junior devs trying to find a first job? I know networking is #1 but that's hard enough with a stutter, let alone the interview. ...

What do you do and does it ever involve interacting with potential customers? There are a lot of threads on here about people having a hard time with their jobs in the service industry when they have ...

I'm just concerned that I'll be on one of my "bad" days and will mess up an interview because of my stutter. I'm mostly looking for advice on how to deal with general stuttering and interviews. I'm in...

>How severe would you rate your stutter I guess that's the obvious first question, right? I would classify it as mild to mild/moderate (which are 95% blocks) but it's entirely dependent upon *What...
