I’m going to keep telling people this because I am a life long blocker and couldn’t use phones or drive through speakers. My husband had to say my name for me. I’m 40 now and I rarely stutter anymore. Get a job at Walmart doing customer service. I was a people greeter and maintenance for about 2 years and it cured me. It helped me get better jobs and learn not to care. I think we stutter because we’re afraid. Once you lose the fear of people it goes away. Walmart introduces you to every type of person out there. The main ones are the jerks, the old people who think they’re top shit and everything else. No one cared that I stuttered. At first I’d always apologize and say I have one. I always got the same response “oh don’t worry so and so stutters and I completely understand.” Then I stopped apologizing. The more I learned about my job the more fluent I became. It gets easier and then you get put up against a rude customer and it just clicks. It’s gone. The worrying and caring about what others think just lifts away. I’m being 100% serious. Walmart forced me to talk to people I wouldn’t ever dream of talking too. It put me in situations I had avoided my entire life. I beg all people who stutter to try it, even temporary and see how it could change your life. It starts out hard but you will get through it.
