This is an incredibly unhelpful post. Firstly stuttering is not cognitive. It's not an emotional thing or a confidence thing. You can't forget your stutter. You can't make it by faking it. That is non...

Hang in there. I totally understand overthinking; this was me toward the end of high school and all of college (and even now). It can take the life right out of you. It's something I still struggle wi...

Sorry, but not really. Go back to the piano lessons analogy. It's not a perfect analogy for stuttering and fluency, but I think we can stick with it to answer your questions about what specific point...

It's totally your choice whether you disclose or not, but I sense mix signals and contradictions. You "kinda figure" and "assume" your friends would bring it up/know that you do, but you also activel...
