I've been doing these things for years. It's really just how often you speak, if you talk alot you'll get used to it and stutter less. But sometimes we might go awhile without really talking to anyone...

Why can’t you be that charismatic guy? Charisma comes from attitude and how you present yourself, not your speech. Socializing isn’t just about how you speak, it’s about how you listen, and how you ...

I had the same problem when I was younger. My name starts with a hard ‘C’, so I’d use my middle name, Susanne, instead. As I got older, my name became easier and I learned to preface my name with “he...

Hey wassup, based on your response, you’re already tense and anxious, that’s basically a recipe for failure. When you inhale, imagine you’re breathing in peace and clarity into your body and mind, alm...

Woman with a stutter here! I will admit my stutter isn’t really noticeable as I talk fine like 80% of the time. My stutter only shows up bad when I’m with family, but in public I would try hard to hid...
