I only stutter on a minor basis now but my worst was in middle school and high school and I didn't really get better until I had jobs which forced me to talk. They were sales jobs and If I wanted to m...

I'm sorry, but I laughed a lot at 'I blink a lot.' So here's the deal. I'm 26 too, I have a block as well. It gets in the way of work sometimes (bartender), but, like you, I try not to let it *get in...

This sounds like a compound problem: The difficulties people who stutter experience with simple tasks others take for granted, and the fact that your boss is an idiot. ...

There have been many opportunities I have passed over because of my stuttering. Thinking about this really makes me depressed....

My first and last post here

My first and last post here New university making new friends, long phone calls to friends from home, trying and succeeding in picking up girls, leading and directing people, even getting known for my...

There have been some advancement opportunities I've passed over because they involve speaking to a large group of my superiors, and giving work updates on a daily basis...

Ever passed on an event / opportunity because you were nervous about stuttering?

Ever passed on an event / opportunity because you were nervous about stuttering? I've had a stutter my whole life, and it's never made that much of an impact until I realised I was saying no to opport...

Any help or advice?

Any help or advice? My stutter has slowly grown much worse over the past 6 months. I've been trying desperately to reverse it and have only gotten worse. I was talking fine able to say any word with n...

I never used to worry about stuttering during interviews but lately my stutter has been far more extreme, and as it happens I'm looking for a new job and have had interviews. I've taken the same appro...

not sure if this is too off topic, i will make a new thread if it is, but i have a job interview question: i believe the best approach is to fully disclose my stutter by saying it first thing right a...

Totally agree and I think you make a great point. A lot of people who stutter and post on this subreddit seem to put a lot of weight on their fluency when it comes to interviews. Obviously nobody is...

I've had a few interviews recently, and my stuttering has come up in some of them. But it makes no difference: If they don't want someone who stutters, that's their prerogative. I like those who addr...

Your friend's experience is sketchy. There are lots of reasons to delay offering a position, but there are very few reasons to forego responding to requests regarding the outcome of the interview. I w...

Congrats on your new job. Great going, you inspire me to go out there and achieve what I want to. ...

Thank you! It's been a hard graft but I am glad it has paid off. Radio, definitely. You don't really think about anyone listening, all you focus on is trying not to stumble over your words. I actual...

Congrats!! You should be proud. You worked your academic / professional ass off. And you reached a level of stuttering acceptance that is difficult to reach. I've done radio and TV too. Do you have...

Thanks I appreciate that. Yeah its best not to care what people think and surround yourself with decent people who don't make life more difficult for you. Good job working as a museum guide, wow that'...

Thanks. Yes it's pretty brutal working in sales isn't it. In my first few weeks I really enjoyed my job and was smashing out sales. I was extremely confident and arrogant on the phone, up until the po...

It might not be any consolation, but I've had a similar experience. I worked in a call center in my early 20's for about a year and a half. At first when I was making sales, I was able to speak very f...

Do you *have* to use the phone for interviews? I definitely prefer emails and face-to-face myself, because it's easier for me to handle those two situations. So I try as much as I can to set up the c...
