Right right! Yea, honesty is key. It does cause anxiety in the short term but in the long term we can have a lot of connection with others, and feel desensitized to stuttering if we tell people we do....

Oh I agree with this. Not just by seeing their reaction, but I think my stuttering forced me to read people fast. I guess I always felt I was the easiest one to pick at, so I felt the need to be on ...

There is a ton of those kind of videos and they are all pretty generic and its its hard to find someone that speaks to you I think. But I actually read the Jordan Peterson 12 rules for life and there...

Ok, I see what you mean. But I think still maybe your body is not comfortable with excitement, so it makes you have a stuttering block to dim the feeling. Does this make sense? It happens to me to whe...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but this doesn't ring true for me. I don't feel as though I'm suppressing anything, it's more me being suppressed. I honestly don't think it's psychosomatic. I actually wa...

I second this. I think you should. Becoming comfortable with your own voice, regardless of your stutter, is one way to overcome it. You don't even have to upload the first video. Make 5 videos just f...
