Dropping the first sound always seems like a good idea, but when I go to do it I can't make myself. It's some other psychological block that keeps me from going about my life sounding like a bad cell ...

I think this is pretty common for stutterers. At least for me, it's definitely the case. The people I know well are already aware that I stutter and don't even react to it. There is zero pressure, no ...

You can't let your stutter define who you are. I stutter, and I am a first year associate at a large law firm. My stutter isn't too bad when I am speaking to somebody one-on-one, but it gets pretty b...
