Good way to look at it. I just have tremendous anxiety where it controls my life a good amount of time. I'd like to live care free. Also I guess I have a pretty good job so I don't really need extra m...

Thank you very much. And yeah being myself just happens to be that I also stutter, generally a lot especially around new people. I also find that some people get really really uncomfortable when they ...

I’m 23 and dating! I do not put on my dating apps I have a stutter, but I do mention it to ppl before we go out together. I have a block-stutter that does get worse when I’m nervous and it involves in...

I see. For me I also think a stutter can be a dealbreaker for some people so I also want to let them know beforehand in case it's not for them. People aren't obligated to feel attracted to you despite...

I see. My stutter very, very heavily relies on how I'm feeling. Generally high doses of emotions tend to make me stutter more. Like being nervous when meeting new people or presenting work, feeling sa...

Honestly I avoid eye contact with most people, makes me feel very uncomfortable. The only people I regularly make eye contact with while talking are people I'm already comfortable with so I rarely stu...

Anytime I start a new job or at a place I know I'll have to talk a lot. I just warn people right away that I stutter so they don't get confused when I start. You'd be surprised how many people don't e...

There are different types of stutters: 1. Repetitions that are infrequent, easily move to next sound and don’t have any attached emotions 2. Repetitions that are more frequent, harder to move to ...

Avoid talking is because of the stutter, anxiety is because of stutter, lack of confidence is cause of me stutter, if my speech sudently become normal I am 101% that I wouldn't have any of those probl...
