Interviews are just a numbers game. Like you, some of mine go better than others. I've gotten offers at times when my speech sucked, and no offers when my speech was great. Just look at every intervie...

There's plenty of people with stutters in the military. I have one, and I had a battle buddy with one. I went through in 2014 at Ft. Benning. There's a dude on this subreddit that's going through spe...

Oh, basic was a blast. The gas chamber is going to suck, but the stutter won't make any difference in there, 90% of other soldiers weren't able to get any words out either due to the sheer amount of s...

Not Army (Air Force), but you have nothing to worry about. There are plenty of people in the Armed Forces with a stutter, myself included. ​ To answer your question, there's no magic ans...

You will far more regret not doing things than doing them and failing (which is the wrong word to use, as failing is not doing them in truth)....

I have 1 friend I met organically through mutual friends and he has a very mild stutter where mine is more moderate. We didn't talk about it for a long time but I could tell he had a mild stutter. A f...

I had a speech like that in front of a court of appeals (I'm an attorney). You will get better if you keep at it. Never let your disability dictate your life. Join toastmasters....

I chose to leave many opportunities with fear of my stutter in my schooling. Now I sometimes feel bad that those were the moments I would never have again. You have shown your mettle and took the step...

I've had similar experiences, and it kind of annoys me that the top rated comment is just denying your experience here. There's no doubt that a stutter is going to be a dealbreaker for some women and ...

Yes, the failures greatly outweigh the successes. But, I try to have a positive mindset whenever possible (yes, I hate it when people talk about positive mindsets, but it’s applicable here.) What I li...

I did the surgery like almost 10 years ago and it did nothing but allow me to breath better. In my opinion there is no cure to stuttering because all humans have it from severe to a faint hint. What I...

Yeah it’s usually just the first approach that fucks me up but after that I’m golden. I’d like to say I’m pretty smooth too. Hit it off with a chick from the Marines on tinder a week ago. Don’t like t...

Where are you? Do you know why you started caring more about your speech? Depending on where you live I would say go see a speech therapist or join a stuttering organization is you live near a good o...

Of course! Glad to hear you have such a positive attitude - I think that's key! Best of luck with the IB exams, they're a beast but totally doable....

Yes exactly! Whenever I feel down, I’m able to remember not just my successes, but also the successes of you all. I hope I could contribute a bit to the positivity as this sub does get negative at tim...

That’s so awesome!! I’ve had that experience once and I know how proud you must feel! It’s really the little things like that that not only encourages you but us as well. ...

I did an oral presentations for my Lang/Lit class... and it actually went well.

I did an oral presentations for my Lang/Lit class... and it actually went well. Naturally, I hate presentations. I'm an extrovert and love running my mouth with my friends, but I just CAN NOT do prese...

Thanks for sharing your story!! I don’t think non-stutterers understand just how difficult and all encompassing this can be for us. But I do agree that it gets better with time and confidence! So happ...

I dont think you're pushing him too hard at all, any sort of encouragement is good. But it'll take a little bit for him to come out of his shell. Best thing to do is cheer him on, encourage him, event...
