We hold ourselves back. That’s it. How can you stop this? See how often you shrink yourself to fit in. How small you make yourself and go the opposite way. Things won’t work out immediately but notice...

Great response! Yes I agree with you, we weren't allowed to speak with the del ferro if we feel a stutter. You are right, if I was able to distract myself from this stutter feeling (or other triggers)...
