The naming convention is meaningless to you and meaningless to me, as I literally said in the closing paragraph of a comment you replied to: "The types are simply used to describe the manner in which ...

I have not edited any comment to make you look bad, I have just edited my misspellings and tried to add more context. I am sorry if that is what you have perceived, it just irks me when people treat t...

In my opinion: I think that stuttering-like disfluencies require a certain belief \[convincing oneself\] \[self-imposing demands\], which could play a critical and likely necessary role in the manife...

For me, it’s the complete opposite. If I stutter, it always help for me to talk slower and/or really think of every word I’m saying before I say it...

Yeah there's a reason behind this. Our brains put subconscious value on words that we say, and that pressure to say them accurately induces blocks. That's why titles, names, phone numbers, etc, are so...

Personally, I never had the stuttering trouble. It was even worse for me. My hands and whole body would start to shake. But those were all my initial experiences. After 5 or 6 failed interviews, I lea...

I used to get really nervous during interviews too, but I eventually found a few things that helped. First, I would try to do as much research as possible on the company and the position I was intervi...

I think they outgrow stutter because they let go the worrying and the strategies about speaking. Initially, because they are learning to speak, they have to think more in order to correct themself. ...
