If you stutter you can overcome it. I was able to overcome almost fully. It's a change of mindset. LMK and I'll tell you my method. It's very simple...

Yeah but I don't know if I even have a stutter in the first place, it's really weird. I don't block. Like I do get this feeling 'Oh no if I say this word I'll stutter on it', but when I sometimes find...

Agreed, best to be open. I have to call a lot of doctors at my job, and when there's several seconds of dead air on the phone they get impatient. Just a quick casual, "excuse me, I have a speech imped...

I'd probably be prepared to inform the doctors you have a stutter and it has nothing to do with some sort of lack of knowledge about the diseases. If you can't hide it, might as well make sure it isn'...

Well it is different if you say "H-hi there" or if you say "(literally nothing)". I read somewhere that a man who lives in a 3rd world country and hardly survive has a similar level of overall stress...
