That's a good point, but I think there are things you can do to get it to click sooner. It's never just going to fall into place without facing the problem and analyzing emotions and the like. It prob...

you are not your friend. don't let his experience determine your own actions here. if you can, go see a speech therapist. it might work for ya. personal variance is a real thing. i'm not familiar with...

My friend who stutters went for about 1-2 months and said they didnt really do much. The main difference is that around my friends im like 80-90% fluent, but if i have to ask a question/present/ etc.....

Hi frozen-creek. I fully agree that everyone who has performance anxiety shouldn't wait until they're 60 or whatever to start working on it. But I don't think a logical understanding is sufficient; th...

how old are you? have you talked to anyone professional about this? maybe your doctor, maybe a speech therapist... what of your familiy/friends?...

Don't commit suicide. I don't know what you believe, but I think that when I die, it's over. It's better to live for one more second than to die right now. Of course it's frustrating. There's nothing...
