Yeah that lack of dynamism is a bane to all of us stutterers. I've tried alcohol, but it doesn't really help my stutter (makes it worse). I'm just trying to reach a point where I can have full uninhib...

Yes. I agree. I’m more of a one on one person. I think the real reason is because usually in groups, they tell stories and get everyone’s attention at the same time. I’m horrible at telling stories be...
