I am in the middle of watching. The part at 2:17 resonates with me. "If someone tells me not to stutter, they are basically telling me not to talk." Imagine someone saying "hey, don't do that tap tap...

I personally don't think stuttering and confidence are always correlated. I've been confident before and still stuttered. I'm striving toward a better quality of life versus perfect fluency....

There's all types of different stutters, I've met ppl who can't even get a single word or sound out with massive stuttering. Confidence is definitely key tho, helps you not think about it, but everyon...

You may be more smart than them

You may be more smart than them Just to let you know I have transitioned from severe to mild stutterer. When I was 5, it was severe. Now at the age of 25, it's really mild (depends on situation) Let...

Yea I have a long term boyfriend and he’s the best but I don’t want to burden him with the full weight of emotion. This is literally the insecurity and codependency that comes from feeling less than a...
