I stressed myself out for the interview but didn’t even get the job.

I stressed myself out for the interview but didn’t even get the job. Now I’m left wondering if I didn’t get the job because they noticed my stutter (I stuttered a fair bit in the interview) or because...

I wont lie, that was actually one of the better portrayals of a stutter that I’ve seen in a film, at least based on that clip. Although now that I know that the character apparently has a stutter, I’m...

I'm in the same boat as you, I'm 21 and have stuttered for as long as I can remember. I'm interning right now and find it so hard to speak to people I don't know and that's really limiting the connect...

I’m 19 so I’m the same boat as you, and I feel the exact same way. My stutter is quite mild but it still makes me super anxious and stressed out. I try not to think about the future because I have no ...

I think the main reason why I don't stutter when I am on my own is that I don't have to fight for the right to speak. I have full control and don't have to deal with other people. ;)...

Yes, you will be. At least I have. However, things will improve not because you will get better, but because you will have to get better. For me, when I was young, speaking in a social situation wit...
