I am the same way. I bought a speech easy device to see if it would help me. It opened my eyes that I was trying to become someone who I’m not. I never wore it again, and have never felt more confident in my life. The confidence also brought better fluency. Especially drinking alcohol I’m a chatter box and rarely stutter. I am a stutterer and I’m not ashamed. At least my flaws are blatant and not so bad. There’s tons of people who are fluent and perfect looking but are the most evil and unintelligent people I’ve ever met. We are blessed to only have a stutter.
