If I'm by myself, I never stutter. If I have even the slightest expectation that somebody might hear me, like recording a voicemail, I'll stutter again. It really is that expectation we're going to st...

The emotional baggage and anxiety you can save yourself by accepting your stutter is monumental. And it’s a cruel cycle, the more anxious you are about stuttering the more you stutter and the more anx...

Does your stutter become better when no one can hear you? I'm very anxious of someone hearing me talk, especially my family and i'm wondering if other people on here have or had that too and maybe got some advice for how to start to overcome this?

Yes, all those twisted thoughts with anxiety, fear, shame, frustration, impotence, insecurity and sadness behind. That inner hell... What I do is distort the twisted thoughts. Like removing all posib...

I've had full-body Alopecia ever since I was 2 years old, and I have a stress-induced block stutter. I've felt ugly and weird my whole life. Honestly, though, outside of dating, my stutter is accepted...
