Dude, just act like you're in a wheelchair. Accept that you can't walk. The funny thing about a stutter, unlike being in a wheelchair, once you've accepted you can't walk you often start running...

Stop being so pessimistic & negative. You got this, own your stutter. Talk to people & make them wait for you. I sometimes stutter more on purpose when I see them losing patience, it’s hilarious. Be p...
