I chastise stutterers who curse themselves for stuttering just as I'd chastise someone for taunting a stutterer. If your friend beat himself up for getting stuck on a word I'd say 'Hey don't talk that...

Fake it till you make it, I know it sucks. Positivity is the quickest route to become happy with it. Most good people will see through the stutter and know you’re still a good loving person. I get it,...

Yeah, I get that. Tools/techniques can be practical solutions. I just hate when people say they "overcame stuttering" or they "used to stutter" when they are still a person who stutters. Techniques ca...
