It's a tough thing to befriend though. I've heard voluntarily stuttering can help with this. I tried voluntarily stuttering and it just made me feel awful after having a fake stutter turn into a real stutter. It's the devil at times, it really is. There are moments when I don't stutter and those moments feel fantastic. Then the devil rears its head to remind me I need to stutter, so I do. How can you befriend something like that?
