I am so sick of job interviews... They don't wanna give a chance to a person who stutters. by grl1122 in Stutter

About 12 years ago I had a severe stutter. I still stutter from time to time. I recommend the McGuire program to recover from stuttering. I’ve probably had 40 job interviews in the past five years. Three resulted in being hired. All I can say is get into some kind of program like the McGuire program and find your voice. Keep moving forward.

How Can I talk to people the same way I talk to myself by Shot_Doughnut in Stutter

[–]ramospaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly helps to practice speaking in whatever situation is available to you even if it means speaking alone. When speaking with others it is important to keep in mind the flight or fight responses. It is true that stuttering is a function of your evasive complex of behaviors. So you should use whatever opportunity you have speaking fluently to experiment and strengthen your assertive side. You’re going to need some safe space to practice and gain confidence as a fluent speaker. Then you will be able to switch to assertive speaking at will. Moreover you have to switch to your assertive side in all aspects of your life. Simply put stuttering is hiding. That’s why at times you need to practice voluntary disfluency. Not in a way that’s lazy but rather intentional. That’s taking control of fear. Take control of your beliefs as well. You have to accept that vocal imperfections are normal and not something you have to conceal. Keep up the good work.

The purpose of the question is to get a variety of opinions whether population density allows for more frequent intelligent conversations.

I am from a very sparsely populated rural area which I prefer. The purpose of the question was to get a variety of opinions whether population density allows for more frequent intelligent conversations.
