That is interesting. I tend to mask when on first/second dates and in customer facing jobs. It's like I'm playing the role of a charming charismatic person, not me, so I don't really mind what they th...

Interesting. For me is the exact opposite! My stutter fade out more when I know the person better and when I become more comfortable with that person. The firsts time my stutter was much worse...

No, there is no cure that we know of. Just an increased level of fluency. I am now fluent most of the time, like 90%, but I’d still classify myself as a stutterer....

No. Most people who have been "cured" have learned techniques to hide it, or keep it at bay exceptionally well. So while they appear more fluent, or even fully fluent at times, they are still stutte...
