I get that, but it feels hypocritical to hold it against people for bothering them when it bothers me as well. I can't stand to listen to any recordings of myself, it's cringe inducing....

Yep. Even I was astonished when I read about this in that book. That book has some really great insights. Some work for you some don't. The "rewriting stutter memories" is working for me. Also, the le...

I like to think of my stutter as a relationship, sort of similar to one you might have with your pet. Depending on the day, your stutter can range from being bad to being unnoticeable depending on you...

I totally feel you man, the inner me is a social creature that likes being interacted with but the outer me or who I portray to be is a shy and timid person and it sucks. I shy away from conversations...

I can really resonate with that man. Holy. I used to have a very similar front of the cocky asshole around girls. Becuase "i couldn't be a nice guy" but really all I was hiding was my true self. I w...

Have you managed to overcome your stutter? I do try to understand deeper my emotional connection to it, but I've never been able to make much progress.. I did a shroom trip today to try dig deep, but ...

It might rather be the case that we've managed to "displace" ourselves (for the purpose, for a time, for a specific purpose). In fact, it's a trick that I think many stutterers have experienced - the...

Yeah same here. I used to focus mainly on tricks but now I've realized they only set me back further and further away each time. Most likely you are pretty fluent, if not perfectly fluent when you a...

I clearly remember being fluent. When i was 5 I started stuttering seemingly out of the blue. I had this teenage neighbour girl I spent time with who stuttered so my siblings believed she gave it to m...
