Stuttering does suck man. In a situation like this it’s easy to think everyone is out to make fun of you and the embarrassment weighing down on you feels permanent, but when I face shit like this I like to remind myself what I would do if I was in their shoes, if someone stutters at me I wouldn’t care at all, and I’d like to think that’s how the person I’m on the phone to thinks. I am 19 and got a job when I just turned 18 in a medical device manufacturing company, so my experience is sort of similar to your situation now. For way too long I put off interactions involving phone calls, but I started to ask myself how I could just make situations easier, when I was having interviews for jobs, I always opened with letting the interviewer know I have an occasional stutter, as it made me think about if I was the interviewer I’d like to know the person isn’t overly nervous and would help me understand I need to be more patient with that person. Overall when I informed the interviewer, I found myself being way smoother during the interview, in one scenario I was asked about my strengths and told the interviewer how my strength is my stutter for forcing me out of my comfort zone, and she congratulated me for my courage and after that I felt like she was just a friend and it was so easy for the rest of the interview. Eventually you will realise that you deserve the same opportunities as everyone else, you cannot let your stutter force you to shut down no matter what, because this will be something you will have to deal with for a long time. We all die one day man, when you think back in years to come this will be so minuscule for you, life isn’t gonna wait for you, go out and get it 🫡
