Yes, ignoring my stuttering helped me as well. Most of the times its yourself and not the others that make stuttering a great problem....

Lean into how good it feels to convey what you want to say, and you'll be fine anytime that stutter happens to happen....

For me, it was a very long and basically unconciously changing journey, so I couldn’t find any “hotfix” for it. After a point in my life I’ve started to be around people that were intelligent enough n...

It definitely does for me. I’ve found that accepting my stutter makes it better. I know I’ll still stutter in pretty much every sentence, but it would be a lot worse if I worry about it all the time....

I went to the academy. Didn't tell anyone I have a stutter. I personally don't think you should tell people about your problem if it's mild especially in public service. However, I was confident even ...

I don't get this. Not any more. I accept I can't stop the stutter, I can't stop the blocks. I just say what I need to say and hope that the other person can wait for me. I know that this can reflect p...
