Hey man! Def relatable, been having the same frustrations one of these days. I think there is a simple explanation for it tho. A MMA fighter can visualise a fight, they can visualise the person they a...

I have failed miserably over and over again with drive-thrus until one day I told myself "who cares if I stutter". Some of the anxiety and fear seemed to fade away and I just did it. I had some mino...

It is the worst and it’s like I still haven’t learned to live with it even after all these years but it’s time to just let it fly. Thank you so much!...

You said: "I’m paying no attention to what my mouth is doing and when I speak what I’m thinking as I’m thinking it" Avoiding attention on the mouth is one way. Although, non-stutterers also focus on...

To me it’s mean not feeling any negative emotions when you stutter. Accepting that is how you talk and not feeling ashamed about it. Also not being afraid to talk just cause you know you will most lik...

Let me give you a longer answer. I think you are looking at this the wrong way, it sounds like to me that you think stuttering should keep you quiet. That is not accepting the stutter, that's the pola...

"there isn't more you can do" What does that mean (again)? It's like, by the simple deed of talking, you're making an effort to talk. You're trying to do something. When you open your mouth (not you ...

It means to live with it. If you beat yourself over stuttering then that means you haven't 'accepted it'. I know stuttering sucks and no one would ever choose to have it, but we're born this way and i...
