I totally hear you and agree! Though because I've made a career of writing, I find myself having to do public speaking sometimes, LOL. Which is kind of ironic. I've definitely had some embarrassing mo...

I was suffocating during the birth (it’s an interesting fact that my fiancee discovered during talks with my mum). Was it helpful to discover? No. But (for me) that’s confirms that trying to find so...

How do you make the approach? What do you speak? I can't think of anything and when I stutter i just close off myself to people and stay silent....

I have noticed it also. I assume it’s because there is less pressure on the vocal chords and you speak calmly, which always is helping to reduce stutter - in my case at least....

What you are saying is harmful. Alcohol, controlled substances, bizarre surgeries and “extreme drugs” will not actually help anybody. I’m sorry you think any of it can help. There are actually safe...

That’s not…good…because his stutter has become mostly Covert, which means he hides his repetitions and replace them with panic-based blocking, strange eye blinks, and a significant amount of avoidanc...

What I suspect you are doing is providing yourself with a distraction—you are focusing on the accent instead of thinking about stuttering. That can work—at least temporarily. You are also almost a di...

>if your stutter is noticeable in any way, they will know Yup. And people in general are very uninformed about stuttering, so when they notice you stuttering, a lot of them would assume that it’s at...

Bro, I wish I could give you a hug. I’m 35, going on 30yrs now of being a covert. My advice would be one, fuck everyone else, do you be you. Second, it’s okay to be fucked up and kinda broken, more pe...
