How to feel confident when stuttering

How to feel confident when stuttering I'm about to go on a date and I keep thinking the date will be more difficult because of the stutter. I say ahh and umm a lot, repeat certain words, take long pau...

>*"I think there is a quick final fear/doubt aspect."* Yes I think so too. Ultimately, I think that stuttering is the manifestation (say: outcome) of a triggered mechanism before the stutter occurs. ...

Yes, very interesting. When I get excited, like after they say yes to a sale, I begin stuttering on my way out, lol. I do wonder if it's a final fear that kicks in to finish it off right and that se...

As long as you’re saying every word you want to say, it shouldn’t matter how it’s said. If someone is being impatient with you, disclose your stutter and quickly explain what stuttering is so they und...
