I've been kind of hoping that at home remedies would fix it tbh. I don't like doctors really and going to them kind of solidifies that something is wrong. I know that there's nothing to be ashamed of ...

That's the same with me occasionally, especially if I'm nervous or talking to someone I don't know. If somebody is telling me what to say then that makes my stuttering even worse, not being able to ge...

Same here. I can be 100% fluent when I am talking to myself in my car on the way to work. I wanted to record my voicemail greeting and I instantly start stuttering, alone in my car on the way to work....

I'm the same way. I can whisper words to myself and say them fine without stuttering, but when I try to say the same word to a person I either can't or start stuttering. So frustrating and embarrassin...
