It can cause damage. Whispering does put a strain on your voice that normal speaking does not. However, I understand what you mean. Whispering seems to trigger a different way of speaking - as if we'r...

The thing with whispering is that if people can not hear you they'll ask you to repeat what you said, my personal experience is that if I've got to repeat what I say it's twice as hard to sa...

I have so much to share but I can’t stand the sound of my own voice or the thought that others can hear it.

In western, modern society it is normalized for the most part. Most people know what it is and don't view it as some embarassing disability. The best advice I've ever received about my speech is to a...

Eh it's not that bad tbh, if they normalize it then people would quit asking me "why do you stutter?" And telling me to "stop stuttering for attention", "speak clearly" and other various variations of...

At least in my circle, when these people say that it's not a big deal, they just mean that I won't be judged negatively if I stutter in front of them. They're giving me carte blanche to stutter whenev...

Of course! We don't want stuff around that we don't like. That's the same way for all of us. There's all sorts of stuff that annoys me about myself, and stutter is part of it. But I don't want to let...

Seeing that you started stuttering when you were 16, which is really late in life, I think that you should definitely aim for fluency. Unlike you, I grew up stuttering (mildly), but like you, I was fl...
