I’m a stutterer and I can only hear “stumble” as a condescending euphemism. It also implies stuttering is akin to a bad habit I just do by mistake. I see it as inseparable from the way I experience an...

Hiding your stutter is stuttering. Once you just let go and are ok with who you are. You will begin to flow much easier. It’s a catch 22 the harder you try the worse you fail. So the remedy is to st...
