I mean, I guess the most important thing for us stutterers is to realize that fluent speech isn't "_everything_". Not even those who have fluent speech are necessarily good at communicating, or have a...

Stuttering is just the way we talk, the sooner you get to that point of acceptance, the better off you will be. Accepting means you don't need to hide, you don't need to be anxious, you don't need to ...

So just to be clear: You're fine not hiding your stutter? Or is it making you sad that you don't hide it? "Hopeless", I don't know what to make of that. People feel hopeless for all sorts of reasons....

That approach has backfired on me for the simple reason that after I tell them I have a stutter, I am often so comfortable with the interview that I don't get blocked at all. I am not sure how I am s...
