I think it's nearly universal for we stutterers to have trouble saying our own names when introducing ourselves, regardless of the number of syllables. My name's Logan and because my stutter is very s...

Yes, I block on every single word with friends and family too. The only time I'm fluent is when I talk to myself out loid in an empty room. I'm not way too nervous when I speak. Even when under the i...
