If he is happy with it... okay then. But I think that you accepted your stutter much more then him. Maybe I'm wrong about that though. I know that I'm in the past also used much more of 'these' words...

It's cool you are a capable public speaker. Based on what you wrote in this post, my first thought is about time and you perceiving urgency. When speaking publicly, one-on-one, or formally, there is...

At the end of the day the thing that matters is how he feels about himself. I often use "um" but I haven't found myself ever using a string of *likes* or *"actually"s*. They are all simply sentence po...

It wasn't mild all the time. I've had my days where I couldn't speak at all. Ignoring it does help. Why would you keep trying to think about it? For me it would just make it worse. But at the end it's...

I don't believe that stuttering is something that you overcome, rather it's something that you learn to deal with. I have a moderate stutter and until this year, I always used to hide it. I'm 35. It f...
