Mine got a lot better when I moved from avoidance behavior to going on the offense. Basically feeling the fear but forcing myself into speaking situations. Allowing myself to stutter openly to reduce ...

It is difficult but like others are saying, don’t try to hide it. I would really suggest stuttering on purpose, and then disclose and tell them you stutter. Start off by stuttering a little to get the...

Yes, it's hard! But just know that avoiding stuttering will only make it worse. The best is to voluntary stutter, learn to accept it, and still order what you want. I wasted a few years doing the oppo...

This is the most anticipated most thought about most forced. We build up so much anxiety that we are doomed from the get go. Next time stutter on purpose. It sounds weird but it helps. Normally when...
