Me too. I’m getting tired of the throat and jaw tension that comes with me being so deathly afraid to repeat syllables a few times. I’m so afraid because I don’t want to stand out negatively. I don’t...

Needed to hear this. I bombed an interview a few weeks ago and didn’t get a dream job of mine. Been down in the dumps sense and feel like giving up. Congrats man...

To stop stuttering when saying your name you have to practice that, the rest I'm not sure, don't be so hard on yourself, your bioligy predisposes you to get triggered by the events you mentioned, I kn...

Vice versa!!! I can't stand my blocking, my mum makes me feel insecure for it so it makes me feel even worse, despite everyone else being so supportive. But I just hear that and think, why would someo...

I appreciate that! I had similar thoughts about being able to prove it. It is just very disheartening to think that we (PWS) have to be judged based on something that we have no control over and somet...

If your struggle is talking with a listener but you are able to articulate perfectly when alone, then practicing the easy thing will not make a bit of difference. Always confused when someone says it...
