Maybe I have something to teach younger people with stutter. Don't come up with strategies to stutter less, like to pronounce letters differently. It will only make it harder to communicate.

Maybe I have something to teach younger people with stutter. Don't come up with strategies to stutter less, like to pronounce letters differently. It will only make it harder to communicate. I don't like my stutter, so I tried to come up with stuff to stutter less. To pronounce letters differently was my thing. it helped maybe a little bit to stutter less, but people (even to this day) don't always understand me even if I don't stutter. I got so used to it so I pronounce the letters wrong even when I try to pronounce them correctly. So at this point I prefer to stutter than to sound like someone with half a brain.
