You're obviously not expecting anyone here to just tell you to give up on life and kill yourself right? I'm not going to tell you that, but I don't have any cliche lines to make you feel good either. ...

Hey, thats a good observation. A lot of people put so much weight on fluency that as long as they can get out their words, they dont care how confounding they sound. Well I can tell you from experienc...

Forming coherent sentences as a stutterer

Forming coherent sentences as a stutterer I've stuttered fairly badly for most of my life. I've been to speech therapy on and off for most of my youth and a bit here and there as an adult. My fluency ...
