Honestly, it's cool... you don't have to talk to them. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. Their stutter is part of them. You either remain friends and learn to accept them or stop being frie...

thank you so much for taking the time to respond—it really means a lot. What you shared lines up with the general idea I had, but it’s genuinely reassuring to hear it directly from you. If you don’t ...

You're missing out a key point. The fluency shaping techniques don't work, and they never have. This is what the research shows. Theyre unnatural and unsustainable. This, and only this, is why the "fi...

Great post! **Summary**: *(of the post)* 1. we started out sensitive, a little more wired for disruption 2. negative experience: we tried speaking but it didn’t come out. Over enough times, it jus...

Yes, this has happened to me a lot! I’m from Puerto Rico and when I still lived on the island it happened fairly frequently (I worked customer service, so I spoke to a lot of people all day). And now ...

We are our worst critics, and to be honest, it is not irrational either. I personally loathe listening to myself or others stutter because it just feels so deeply wrong. My armchair psychologist theor...

That's deep man. Me and my girlfriend have made a joke, calling it swimming. All the peeps who can talk are fish and they swim. That's what fish do. But I'm not a fish...but everyone sees a fish when ...
