Wow. Great question. I wonder the same question about some time ago. My conclusion is this: Even if I am mute, **I will still be a stutter**. ¿Why? Because I will still have a stutter mentality. St...

If I understood correctly, when people ask you for something you are more fluent and relaxed because it seems that they are asking for your time. When happens the other way around you get block, stuck...

I love reading too alright! It’s also really useful in managing my stutter because I learn new words and new ways to say things which increases my fluency since I can substitute words more accurately ...

I started caring less about my fluency in my 30s and it helped a lot. I probably stutter a lot more than I realize, but who cares? It's liberating just being me. I block every now and then, but can...

I met my partner when I still had a stutter. Personally, it’s nice to look back at those times. He tells me all the time that he remembers when I use to stutter, and that he thought it was cute. We’v...

Some people say it’s a bad thing to replace words but I think it’s actually one of the positives about having a stutter because you’re forced to learn new words. What do you think?...
