First job

First job I’m 17 and I started my first ever job a couple of weeks ago as a waiter in a pub. So far it hasn’t been too bad. I like it but I find it so difficult to talk to customers. Just asking them ...

my gf mentioned my stutter for the 1st time. I'm 22 and i've been dating my girlfriend for 2 years. she never mentioned or launched a conversation about my stuttering. so we were hanging out in that r...

You are right about many of us wanting to speak fast, and I really can't explain why that's the case. I feel like I always have to prove myself while speaking, but there's no need really. Also, what ...

Thanks for sharing. Based on my experience, I agree 100% with what you write here. My confidence and self-esteem must be better. But the thing is, although it is not bad at all, I must make it better...

I usually always appreciate it when someone finishes my sentence, it take the pressure and embarrassment out of it for me and I appreciate that. It's pretty rare, in my experience, that anyone does it...

The intention is great but it won't help people defeat stuttering unless there are exercises you have that are scientifically proven. I love to discuss my stuttering and you wouldn't help unfortunatel...

I always thing that it is easy for fluent people tell a lot of stupid things. We have to filter everything we want to say, I’m starting to tell stupid things too. Just to balance the situation...

Wow this is very close to what happened to me and I am nearly fully fluent at this point where when I stutter I don't even remember it or care to because it's just no big dealt to me. I must have stu...

You are definitely not worthless. When I get unhappy about something, I always say to myself "things could be much worse" and it helps because there are millions of people who are living a much worse ...

Our son had whole exome sequencing and in doing so, they tested us, the parents as well. No variants came up for that gene, or any other gene detailed in stuttering studies. I did have a variant in t...

In my opinion and according to the stories of people I have heard, the best way to control stuttering and feel comfortable with it is to get used to contact with people. Job is one of the best ways t...

Yes, noone comes out of the womb stuttering. I disagree with the habit idea though. However, that rationale explains why one would feel "responsible". Edit: and I'll just add my personal experience...

I have just made the transition from teenage/childhood to full time worker in healthcare. At first my stress/stuttering was increased, but as I got comfortable with my position, my coworkers, and the ...

Super valuable post. Just saved it. I like how you summed up the key findings from Jack’s article and your own experience. Great analogy about the drink too. I bet this could be applied to a lot of ...

Both, although I don't spend my time paying attention to my speech or reflecting on it so I wouldn't be able to give you an analytical answer. I know it's dying off, and that's enough. The end result ...
