Can't say it is a 'technique', but I tried 'desensitization', where I distracted myself off fluenecy. I tried to give up focusing on my fluency after I hit high school and back then I thought I shoul...

Made me feel like one too. Still does once in a great while. It gets better, but only as long as you keep shooting your shot. As for the friends, I don't know. If I didn't stutter maybe I would make...
