I ignore them lol I had people tell me they stutter too when they speak fluently. I don’t stutter when I’m mad 😂 I heard that some people stutter go away after a while but idk if that is true. ...

I get that too. I think its because for some people stuttering is linked to their anxiety levels. Have you been stressed out lately? One good technique is to work with the stutter rather than against...

You say therapy is useless and all that. Both for mental health and stuttering. Have you ever tried it? I mean honestly tried it. I've stuttered my whole life. Sometimes it was brutal, sometimes not...

Hey, man. I hate that my speech gets worse when I'm excited, cause you just want to get it out to share the excitement! I know I want to just live in that incredible excitement and be able to say what...

I'm sorry to hear you're going through a hard time. I am too and my speech has gotten so bad I broke down in front of my boyfriend (my speech is a disaster around him). One time I was having a ROUGH ...
