No, I was so worried about knowing the material I didn't care if I stuttered. It was 3 people questioning me, 10 questions but each question was a big subject that they then delve into and ask furthe...

I’ve had unfortunately similar stages of this in my upbringing. And it severely impacted stuttering to points of being mute for long periods. O I suggest looking into trauma informed therapy. I think...

First off, I’m so happy you’ve found a community that supports you and makes you feel welcome!! That’s an incredible thing and something that can be so hard to find as someone who stutters so I’m so h...

I would focus on what's important in life. Education, health, maybe sports, work, etc. Don't let your stutter consume you. If it wasn't that it would be something else taking up headspace that no o...

Id say you're avoiding the responsibility because, subconsciously, you know that taking responsibility means you still might fail and not have your stutter to blame. A fear of failure is common amongs...

I think this is a good place for a few of these questions. OP is obviously very frustrated. It is a good opportunity to educate someone on the difference between a stutter and awkward social behaviour...

It's all about perspective. Lamenting over society's inability to "accept" us isn't healthy. You'll be surprised how much control we have over our quality of life. Yes, we are abnormal, but it doesn...

Thank you for your comment. I have truly been fortunate. There’s no reason you can’t also be. Your stuttering is a small part of you. It doesn’t define or limit your character. Those worthy of you wil...

If it’s mild maybe try some articulation exercises and diaphragmatic breathing. Develop inner confidence and get experience to relax. Speaking particular while under pressure is more complicated th...

Not smarter. Possibly more experienced. I was a never-a-fluent-sentence stutterer. Eyes-shut, run-out-of-breath blocks. Wasn't until my mid-to-late 20's that I got fluent. That was a lifetime ago. ...
