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 makes you want to withdraw even more, (even though you say at heart you're actually outgoing; I think that's true for many stutters...), but that doesn't really help....the avoidance actually makes things even harder. Do you tell people up front in the interview that you stutter? Even if it's obvious, it can help a lot if you say it, especially if you can get yourself to say it in a way that shows (even if for now you have to fake it a bit) that it's not a problem for you, that sometimes it just takes you a little longer to say things. See....for people who do not understand stuttering (most people, right), YOU have to kind of take that on, set the tone. There WILL be an employer who hears you, who gives you a change. That is the person you want to work for. But YOU have to give them a chance too. That is, you have to break the ice about this thing that can be awkward otherwise. I know it feels impossible, or almost impossible. If you have someone to role play an interview with, I highly recommend it. It's not to get you to not stutter. That's not the goal, anyway. Rather, it's to get you more comfortable in the situation, no matter how much you stutter. If you have someone you can practice an interview situation with, the idea is to do it over and over until you actually get tired of it. Like 10, 15, 20 times -- however long it takes to feel somewhat desensitized to the whole thing. The other person needs to be halfway good at playing the interviewer, and take the whole thing seriously. If you have anyone like that in your life who would be willing, it will help. Yup, this will be awkward at first too. But it beats a real interview and you will see that at a certain point you won't be as self-conscious. I know I'm going on a bit, it's something I believe can really help. Edit: typo and added a phrase I meant to say...
