Yup. Its a constant labor of grammar gymnastics trying to very, very quickly think of a replacement word that doesn't start with that letter, syllable or sound. It can get exhausting....

I think most of us can attest to some measure of experiencing what you describe. I also think most of us, upon reflection, will find it somewhat tricky to tease out what part of it is a general anxio...

If you feel like you stutter, you probably have one. I don't see why anyone would fake it. My dad also doesn't believe anxiety or depression are real. He kind lf just ignores thag I stutter. Most of...
