I can feel you there. I have been stuttering since i can remember and ive been discriminated for it a lot, and i had the misfortune of being surrounded by really insensitive people. I also gave interviews some of them went horribly bad and then i saw a guy stammering much more than me in his thesis defense and i asked him after his presentation that i also have this problem and he said, you have to focus on what youre saying instead of how youre saying. I really saw people there clapping for him in the end, scholars shaking hand with him and everyone was kind of giving him a lot of respect and that made me feel, maybe people dont think so harshly about someone whos stammering. Im not saying it made a huge effect on me, i have a presentation phobia due to stammer but that guy changed my opinion of what people think.
