Anyone want to exchange some experiences and thoughts? Stuttering is such a mindblowing condition and just the fact that most of us are perfectly fine speakers in private but when another human is added to the mix we feel overwhelming fear over the mere thought of certain syllables is something that needs to be observed by people who can relate. So please, feel free to drop a comment below or private message me. Let’s learn something about ourselves and this thing we got. I’m gonna leave some questions that you can choose to answer right here, or you can just share whatever. Thanks everyone. 1. Can you speak without stuttering when you’re alone? 2. Do you speak fluently when you aren’t thinking of your stutter, and does thinking of stuttering cause you to stutter? 3. Do you know when you will and will not stutter on a word? 4. What makes your stutter better or worse? 5. What letters or words are tough for you to say?
