I've always used it as my "weakness" during interviews :) I don't have to come up with the BS weaknesses like "I work too hard" or other nonsense like that. And then I usually say what other people ar...

I've had a Youtube channel for years and I'm at over 95,000 subscribers right now. It's a field where we have the advantage of being in being in a place where there's no stress. Sometimes I have to r...

There’s already a lot of good ideas already. What I would suggest is focus on just letting people know who you are. That may be just a few people at a time. But I wouldn’t focus on those people who t...

Positive experience by using medicine against mouth dryness

Positive experience by using medicine against mouth dryness Anyone else who tried using medicine for mouth dryness to combat your stutter? I recently had an interview at a company which was my second...

No. Even if there were a drug that could cure stuttering (with no averse reactions) it would not likely be pursed because of the cost (at least in the US. I don't know about the safety procedures in o...

Yea I feel the same way and I have a moderate (sometimes more than moderate) stutter. The worst is when masking/hiding your stutter becomes the centerpiece of your life. Mind you: With the techniques...

Thanks for the comment. I want to forgive and forget bad experiences in life. Plus I have no time to waste on lawyers. Gotta find a job soon. This kind of discrimination isn't something new. As a mode...

Are you in the US? This could be ground for a discrimination case per the ADA, especially since the reason they gave was that you were slow speaking. Only an idiot from HR would say that, they should ...

I don't know much about hiring. It's kind of fuzzy as to where we qualify as a protected class and how we quality with the ADA (disability act). I think that it is illegal to discrimination on the bas...

I know that feeling. I'm also looking for jobs right now, interviews are the worst. I've had 5 phone interviews and 1 face to face interview in the past two months and it is really taking its tol...

Job rejections

Job rejections Today a HR of some company called and told me they will not be moving forward with my application. I had interviewed with them few days ago. The reason he gave was that I was slow when ...

I know a guy from the NSA conference, he's a lawyer. I actually know a few lawyers from the conference but he has a very clear stutter, and does trial law. Well, he stands on front if a judge on behal...

You do have a lot of courage! It's hard to leap in like that! Your kids are lucky to have you. I taught too for four years, and now I'm in law school (also a stutterer) so I feel ya on the possible m...

Thanks! I was worried at first too, but for some reason my stutter was gone in the Army. I can't explain and am baffled to this day. How can something that has afflicted me my whole life just vanish? ...

This is a bit of an unrelated comment, but it is really cool that you served in the military as a stutterer. I was always tempted to enlist in the Navy, but I was really fearful that having a stutter ...

Have a class presentation next week

Have a class presentation next week And the anxiety is almost crippling. A little backstory, I've been stuttering since about first grade. When I joined the military at 19, my stutter completely vanis...

My story

My story Found this thread and pretty happy to see a whole community of people that can understand and relate to the things we go through daily. I've had a stutter since I was little. I was always a ...

I should probably mention that if the problem doesn't get better, I am considering dropping out of school since I don't see a lawyer-career being compatible with my problem :/...

Sometimes I do regret it and wish I worked alone, with no one to witness the spectacle, but I do enjoy teaching! Do what you love!...
