I don't have the strongest self-confidence and I kind of get why you'd feel that way, but this view is, frankly, pure bullshit. If you're gonna hate yourself, at least realize what you're doing and do...

I think it's more of a selective confirmation loop. I stuttered a lot in high school and when I see friends I haven't seen in years, they don't even remember I stuttered until we met up again. Then th...

I've been told it's really common for people who stutter. It's definitely hit or miss for me. My SLP told me it's probably a combination of the pressure you put on yourself to respond effortlessly, ...

For some reason my mind makes me think that it takes too long to say "My name is ___" and people won't listen. I subconsciously have a stigma that people are impatient when really it isn't true but no...

I stutter and smoke regularly, and I've found that low amounts of cannabis actually do help increase my fluency. There's a little bit of science behind it, but none that has looked directly at the cor...

The CBD sounds interesting. Weed, in general, makes my stutter worse for many reasons. It makes me hyper aware and thus hyper anxious. I would like to try the isolated chemical though...

Oh my God, I hate phone interviews so much! People ask me, "Are you nervous?" I tell them no, but then they're like, "Well, why are you stuttering?" or "Why can't you talk?" There's no way you can tel...

How did the conversation actually go? Be proud of yourself that you even approached. That in itself is painfully hard, even for many non-stutterers. As for people judging you for your stutter, unfort...
