I stutter enough for my friends to notice so I guess that's something, and I've had trouble speaking in general since I was a kid, I was in speech therapy for years, but my stuttering only became noti...

Disfluency starts to be noticeable above about 5% of syllables. Below that and you’re considered within normal limits. However, that’s a very listener-focused criteria. I’ll second what someone els...

excatly. Mine can be bad at times, but for the most part, I can control it. The navy made me do lots of tests and reading and blah blah. Some people dont like it, most people dont care. Had one gu...

I've been using quite a few drugs during the last 2 years but honestly none of them affected my stutter in any way. Benzos just make me not give a fuck that I stutter anymore but they don't reduce it....
