Mind if I ask who the comedian was? Same thing happened to me when I saw Jeff Arcuri. He’s known for his crowd work and they sat me dead center in front of him and of course he goes right for me. I di...

Bro honestly you sound like me when you explained that in detail. Because I’ve been telling people that same thing and they never understood what I was trying to say. It’s like, when I’m around my fam...

I do. They always say a bunch of stuff I already knew. I’m already very knowledgeable about psychology and stuff like that. Because I never used to fit in so I used to read up and watch videos on it a...

We are similar in the sense I stutter profusely with my family (specifically parents) and am almost 95% fluent with my friends. Funny you also mentioned a "masked version". I can relate a lot to that....

Not to say that stuttering isn’t contributing but I think you need to see a therapist about this. Not a speech therapist, but one for trauma and talking about your anxiety....

Yep. This is exactly me. Like my mom…I love her. But she has no idea what it feels like to stutter and she doesn’t even want to understand it. It’s like she thinks I’m slow or dumb or some shi. She’s ...

I noticed with mine it’s basically all social anxiety, I’m so worried that I’ll stammer that I end up thinking about it and doing it, but when I’m by myself I’m basically fluent, I found being confide...
