> Then I started stuttering. And I stutter weirdly. Not at all. Many ailments manifest in ways individual to the person, and stuttering is no different. The head and lip motions you describe are very normal. Have you ever seen a speech therapist or met other's who stutter? Doing so may be a great way for you to gain some acceptance. > Who would want to admit a freak like me into their college? I had the same thought when I began applying for internships in college. You know what a friend said to me who was a lead engineer at Boeing? "In the work force, nobody will judge you based on your stutter. They'll judge you based on your work ethic and ability to do the job, that's it." He was absolutely right. My recommendation would be to make interviewers aware of your speech impediment. Add it to your introduction. "Hi I'm twilightbling, great to meet you. Before we start, I just want to make you aware that I have a stutter. Thanks for understanding." Or, if you're not comfortable doing that, email the interviewer beforehand and let them know. Do whatever you have to do to make them aware. In my experience through school and now my career, people utterly *want* you to succeed despite your stutter. They'll do everything they can to accommodate and work with you. Don't assume you're a freak, nobody else does.
