I think you misunderstood what OP and I wrote. Maybe I worded it wrong, so let me try again. I mean fluency is great, but seeking fluency personally made stuttering even more painful and affected my m...

I was stuck in those 2 ways many years. They help me through my teens and early adulthood but I always felt that something was missing. I am 26 now and the 2 ways that change my perception about stut...

What's the right words to disclose I have a stutter to the work manager? Hi all! So for a long time, I've always wanted to do far more to put myself out there even if I do have a stutter. With my exce...

The loop is not initiated by “stutter”, it is initiated by the “desire to be fluent”. Because we try to be seen as a fluent/normal person, we do everything to avoid stuttering. If we would accept that...
