University in front of what? Friends? colleagues? In the grand scheme of things. Being “you” in front of people is exactly what you should want. if any asshole doesn’t like, they’re not worth liking...

I am actually being 100% serious. It’s not uncommon for PWS to not stutter when they act. Acting helps put your brain into a completely different mindset. When you’re actively pretending to be a diffe...

I wouldn't recommend it as you'll be wasting a lot of your time. I think you should focus on not letting your Stutter stop you when you talk, if it comes out it comes out. If you're goal is to not Stu...

I understand where you’re coming from. Us stutterers already worry about everyday people judging us for our speech impediment. It’s especially worse when it comes to someone who we like because we wan...

She must have known your stutter already as you talked to her many times in phone. It seems she doesn't care for it. Think urself as a hero and talk slowly. Impress her that you are a nice and kind pe...
