1.What helps me most is that I started a job a couple months ago that requires me to speak to clients(strangers) which was completely terrifying to me at the beginning because I over the years I tried to avoid as much talking to strangers as I can but I realized that just speaking to my family and some friends won't help me cure my stutter and social anxiety. So almost every day I have to talk to at least 20 30 strangers at my job, and I feel my stutter has gotten a lot better since I started getting used to talking to them, sometimes I stutter a lot sometimes not but it depends, a fact is that I feel more calm when speaking to strangers than months before 2. I realized I was too much in my head when I speak , I would think about every word that I'm going to say and thinking about my lips tongue etc when speaking and I felt literally I was using so much brain power just to speak normal sentences and everything I would speak with someone I would feel this headache , felt like I was studying for hours or smth. So I'm trying when I'm speaking to have a clear mind and not have any thoughts etc, just how normal talking is supposed to be, just like when you are walking, you are not thinking right leg left leg right leg left leg etc 3. I practice reading out loud , practicing slow, normal, fast reading etc , sometimes I would try reading in front of someone just to mix it up I can't wait for the day where I can speak normally and not have any social anxiety and can talk and approach girls whenever I want because time is ticking . There is no book , speech therapy or any person that could help you with your stuttering. I mean when you think about it speaking is just a bunch of muscles that produce words and sounds , nothing different than you moving your fingers, legs, arms etc , everything is in your control. Don't try to overcomplicate it .
