So, let's expound a little on this. We're all changing behavior (more or less) depending on what we're doing and who we're with (if any). This is a completely general social feature. In that sense, ...

Gonna be quite honest with you.. this is awesome and cringey at the same time. Some days I wake up, get read for work (or school) and my brain goes “Well, we are going to stutter all day. Sorry fuck-o...

Acting is by definition not being yourself. I'm not sure which purpose it would serve to train in acting, since you're going to have to be yourself outside of it. Unless you intend to not be yourself,...

This is one of the crucial point of a course that I did in Italy and improved my fluency and helped me to manage any situations. They call it literally "the presence". When you reach this experience,...

So this is a sign. If they treated you like that, imagine if you got the job? They were most likely terrible people to work for. Believe it or not your doing it right, vent about it and move on. Kee...

It could be a chicken and egg dilemma. But with the spontaneous people I know, they're just so good at **letting go;** meaning, they'll get into trouble more often that we do, which is expected becaus...

What's this "acceptance" thing? I wrote about the descriptional parameters you're dealing with. You're the one making yourself into "a lack of spontaneity". That's what I'm writing against. - So, r...

I dont avoid speaking and dont encourage avoidance for others. But i do not understand how your advice can be applied. It is not possible to focus on being spontaneous, as attempting it requires thi...

This recently became en eye opener for me. For years I was able to hide or manage my stutter while being in leadership roles. Now I am at a point in my life where my stutter is trying to betray me it ...

I’m in college. I’ve got to a point where if I stutter who really cares? Are people gonna laugh, yes but that’s their own insecurities. Own it and talk as if you didn’t have a stutter and you will see...

In my experience, avoidance reduction is the worst thing you could do. For years I was amazing at hiding my stutter. I had friends for a few years that had no idea how bad my stutter really was. I wou...

That's your wording, not mine. At any rate, you don't see a problem. Gotcha. I do. So let's just leave it at that. No point further rehearsing the sides already presented here. :)...
