What does it mean to be confident with a stutter? I’m currently trying to build up my confidence, but I have a question. Is being confident with a stutter just letting yourself stammer and stutter without trying to use methods to get it out? (Such as breathing in, saying uhm, etc). Or is being confident with a stutter using those things to help but when they don’t work you just let yourself stutter afterwards until it gets out? I feel more confident if I use methods to try to stop stuttering but I also don’t wanna hide it. So I’m not sure what I should do to help build my confidence
