Well, now that you know how that employer responds...do you really want to work for someone like that? If it's fast food, just go to the next one. You don't necessarily need to be working storefront...

My kid has all three. First letter repetition is his most common. The block sucks because the listener isn’t sure how to respond and their reaction adds to the stress. So it’s the awkward pause, the...

21 years old Italian stutterer here, been one since 6-7 years old. It's true, you probably can't get rid of stuttering completely, but you can improve, build up confidence and silence your thoughts a...

What if none of that happens? What if none of that matters? What if you gain something positive from it? What if you never try and miss out on it?...

You go in with a growth mindset. The first interview (and probably a few afterwards) you do will probably be your worst, but take that experience and juice all the information from it. Mentally prep...

Someone who does not have the patience to listen to what you have to say is simply not worth your time. Don't evaluate your performance based on other people's response. I have learnt to be confiden...

You need to get on that, I think. Instead of carrying it around on your own, communicate with people about it. You need to have some positive experience in this regard - instead of the negative you've...

Yes, there is an expectation to speak properly, but not fluently. I have done some interviews for internships. For my last internship my employer had to choose between me and 9 other candidates. We al...

So your not the sexiest thing on two legs. that's OK. as for being broke and exercising you don't need to go the gym to work out. Your face might not be the prettiest in the world neither is mine, but...

What do you do? That's a hard one. find things you like about yourself and improve them. I found improving aspects of myself I liked increased my confidence which translated to increased fluency....

Thanks for replying. Yeah because I wanted 2018 to be good - better than last year. I wanted some change to happen or things to look up and although it's early, time is wasting. I'm not getting younge...

Sounds like you've had a rough week. I remember a job interview I had for a tech support help desk job, answering phones and fixing peoples problems I had recently completed my Diploma in IT which inc...

I'm sure you will, Stay positive and work hard on improving yourself even if this means putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and hope for the best ! ...

hey, I'm not mad at my younger self, actually I don't think I would react differently today. I'm just mad at the fact that I could have had a better life. Today, I'm trying to change, I know I need to...

I’m not a PWS so my comment is more about the emotions than the stutter. You can redefine yourself. You can change the narrative of who you are and you can reframe events/ conditions Just beca...

Hey! I was in the same boat recently. I went to literally just one speech therapy session and it changed everything for me. The therapist I went to (Vivian Sisskin, read her method or listen to her ...

For me a change happened when I realized I really had to make a change to live life to the fullest. For me that meant putting myself in uncomfortable and challaning situations. Picking up the phone an...

I actually haven’t been asked about it. Commented not so much either. Most of the time people catch on without asking questions or anything. If what you want to do involves being outgoing, I’d say g...

really awesome post, you got the right attitude 100% ;-D i'll try to do this challenge, and i'll check out the discord thing, too!...

I hope today is a better day. Is there any way you can get some info from the Stutter Foundation to give to your boss? They have pamphlets we download to explain and to teach people to hold eye cont...
