Wow, that sucks. Every time someone tells me to slow down and breathe I instantly hate them. If they mention my stutter being a disability I instantly hate them. Unless they have a stutter or are clos...

Why do I find it more comforting using a speaker then? Maybe I just hate people looking intensely at me during my speech blocks haha...

Yes, yes, you described it from your point of view. For *you* it is a constant anxiety, a weight, a fear. I'm sure it is for others as well. Even in an "outgoing" country, not everyone can be outgo...

So I'm a little bit privileged in this area, I guess. I'm such a covert stutterer most of the time that I can pass for fluent on a date and bring it up at my leisure. Which is usually around the 2nd o...

Engineer. There's a lot of interacting with people, sometimes my speech is ok, other times it's really bad. It made me less anxious about the phone, but presentations and speaking to the bosses still ...

Underground diamond driller. Always work with the same partner so theyre used to my stutter. Using the radio and participating in safety meetings gives me crazy anxiety but i somehow get through it....

That's definitely what I've learned. Non-stutterers don't care at all about stuttering, and it's bigger than the universe for a lot of stutterers (who haven't gotten over the mental aspect of it)....

No kidding. I have to stop and remember how good I have it sometimes. I haven't had to give a presentation or speak to an audience in so long, I've almost stopped having nightmares about it....

document processing. not really because I don't have to talk a lot or deal with customers. Just type a lot. But I don't think I would have chosen this job without the stutter. And I know that my lack...

Tell the interviewer up front that you stutter sometimes. LIE and say "it's not a problem for me; it doesn't interfere with work, just sometimes it takes me a little longer to say things." This is...

I just found this subreddit, thought I would introduce myself and tell my story, so to speak.

I just found this subreddit, thought I would introduce myself and tell my story, so to speak. I have been stuttering for as long as I can remember. From elementary school all the way through college a...

Thank you. You really encouraged me! I'm wondering, does after a while you lecture, the fear is gone? Or It's always there?...

As a uni lecturer, I give at least one lecture to 50+ students every week. Let me tell you this, what you have to do is go in there with a mindset of "If I stutter, I stutter. If I don't, that's great...

Congratulations. The fact that you have decided to give a lecture means that you have already won half the battle. As for the other half, most people are not as bothered by our stutter as we think the...

Lecture, fear, advice

Lecture, fear, advice Hello guys. So here is the thing: Next Saturday I'm giving a lecture in front of a group of 5 to 7 people. I can say that I have fear, and I'm afraid that I will fail. I forgot t...

Yeah, that sucks. But please don't stop going to interviews? I don't know if you have a job already that you don't like or don't have one, but either way, please keep looking? Of course all this ma...

Holding back. Try replacing the word "stuttering" with "holding back". I "stutter" the worst when I talk to people older than me and during those moments I ask myself why am I "holding back" inste...

I just had an interview Wednesday. I stuttered moderately through the whole thing. It was a server position in a senior living community. The interview itself was pretty straightforward, just asked wh...

I do have plenty of positive qualities, yet I feel I'm either unable to show them or they are outshined by my very severe stuttering and social anxiety.. As a result I see myself as a defective person...

I got the same s***t in life, i will ask my doctor to perscribe me some anti anxiety medication maybe it helps, maybe you can try it too?...
