> Only everybody. It's so ironic isn't it? Yes, I've experienced the same thing. You'd think that the word you care the most about in the world... the one that refers to your own identity, would b...

When I was a kid it could get very bad, to read out loud in a class room, was impossible. Slowly improved, take things slow, relaxed. People now complain that I'm long winded, ask me the time & ...

Social Anxiety & Stuttering

Social Anxiety & Stuttering I'm starting to think my stuttering is just a symptom. I think I have social anxiety disorder. I always struggle to say my bame when I meet new people, I absolutly dred...
