Will speaking to myself without stuttering 10 hours a day make me stop stuttering to others+ Im stuttering since childhood, I cant be myself because of it, I dont want to accept it or live with it. I tried a lot of things but nothing worked. But today I got an idea. If i would talk to myself 10 hours a day, with speed i dont stutter at, theoretically my brain should learn how to speak without stutter while talking to others, and it will forget how to stutter if i wont talk to anyone else. In the next week, I have all days free and i can talk to myself till my brain wont start questioning what the fuck am i doing. Im asking is it worth it because i got other things to do. But im ready to do almost everything, to be able to speak like normal human being.
