Embrace your stutter Afternoon yall , I’ve noticed lately that since I been embracing the conversation I been stuttering less. If you’re a stutterer most people already know as it is. So when I’m speaking with people now instead of thinking of how to not stutter I play into it, like Taking long pauses and looking people in the eye. No filler words just right into it. I still stutter but usually if I try again I say it perfectly. I see that the more u avoid stuttering or potential stuttering convos the more u do. Command the attention, Speak within your pocket n if u stutter..fuck it. When people say “take your time” most people think the rate u are speaking n it could be that. But I’d say take your time in actually HAVING the conversation. Hope this helps.
