I’m glad you’re going to confess. I’m 30 and have stuttered all my life. I find it best in relationships to just be honest from the start. Hiding it only makes it worse for my stutter because my anxie...

That is true, there are no fda approved medications. However, that's a different argument. Your argument is that there are no effective medications. That's disingenuous and incorrect. Indeed, there's ...

You, like me, stutter. Nobody knows cause we always try to hide it and (are able to) do it well. It's called a covert stutter as opposed to an overt one. You should definitely tell her imo. She'd be l...

It’s exactly that. You overthink it until it becomes reality. I think it’s something everyone with a stutter struggles with. I’ve chosen the easy way out. In the UK, there’s an app called ‘Relay’. I...
