Is this a serious question? Easier without a doubt in my mind. If I didn't stutter, I would have accomplished the things I have in my life a lot sooner. Some things I'm still trying to accomplish. Stu...

Yes you're right we have not any cure for now. But i think it's only FOR NOW. When i'm alone i'm %99.9 fluency and normally %85 fluency. I think it's all about how much percentage you are in normally....

There is currently no cure for stuttering. That's a scientific fact. It is also not true that we don't stutter when we're alone. Take a look through the various YouTube channels run by people who stu...

Depends on whether I stutter. When I am fluent- I feel this feeling of triumph. When speak and stutter badly, it gnaws at me for days sometimes. Just this feeling of a knot in my stomach for days. U...
