I think it got much easier but it's partially because I also opened up a lot and just started talking openly about it. If you show people that you're comfortable with your speech, they'll be comfortab...

I grew up in a household in which my stepfather didn't understand it. He often said that "I only stuttered when I lied". If that was the case, I must've lied a whole lot. It was hell on me and real...

I'd say about 95-99 percent of the time like a normal human being. I don’t think much of the usual reactions. I did have a few stuttering situations at that happened in the last six months. The fir...
