Man, it took me a long time to realize a lot of the “rules” of the world were invented by me in my own head to mitigate my anxiety. Once I realized how silly some of those mental walls we put up are, ...

When I was 20, I thought I'd never have a gf. Since then, I've had lots of them, wife, kid, and life has been great. I know all those feelings you speak of. Your stutter isn't you. For better or worse...

I know the feeling. I'm 42 and stuttered like a mofo in my youth, I still block sometimes but pretty fluent these days. I'd say my stutter at 20 was probably the worst it ever was in my life and it de...

It is a good feeling!! I don't want to rain on your parade too much but my philosophy is that the goal is acceptance and not fluency. One is way more realistic than the other....

I'm doing my MBA right now. It's hard but not impossible. Could be a good opportunity for you to practice any strategies you use to minimize or deal with stammering. Either way, it would pay to just a...

Or just not stutter and have a better filter (think more before you speak). Does stutter help with this? Well yeah sorry but it is really a reach to make stutter a blessing because of that. Should w...
