Speaking slowly *seems* to have improved my communication For the last 2 or 3 weeks I have been forcing myself to speak more slowly to see if I am received better by others. It at least appears to be working, as I have noticed that I am stuttering less and I am perceived much better, and people are friendlier/more likely to listen. Note that I only have a Mild Stutter as diagnosed by an SLP but I would say it can become moderate-severe level when I am extremely stressed/experiencing social anxiety. I would highly urge everyone try this out.
