Man, I want to hug you so hard. I’ve been through that phase with almost the exact things, and it wasn’t getting better. A really big positive breaking point in my life was when, around 19years old,...

Wow thank you so much. I totally get what your saying about how exposure could also get rid of the stutter. I definitely feel like that is another option that would work. If I just totally owned it an...

Thank you for your answer, I totally agree with you (5 behavioral patterns). It all comes down to the fact that stutter define us just as much as we let it. I definitely let it affect some of my dec...
