Is there really no way to control or completely stop your stuttering? I have so much anxiety about 2 things. My stutter and the person my stutter makes me. I keep thinking to myself that i would be such a more social and fun person if i didnt have a stutter. If i want to say something funny or interesting or just start a conversation but i feel like im gonna stutter, i just stay quiet. I often have things to say and sometimes i do get to say them but if i feel that im going to stutter i dont. This makes me feel very antisocial and boring to be around. Is there any way to control a stutter? Or train it?
