I’d probably talk so much I’d have to be asked to leave the room. I’d spend as much time as I possibly could talking on the phone, I’d volunteer to so many things that require talking. I probably woul...

I second what this person said! I’m a communication and speech disorders student (speech therapist) and it’s great. No weird looks when I have blocks because everyone knows what’s happening and everyo...

That I’m not the only one with a disability. It opened up my eyes to people around me who were suffering with their own problems. I think my stutter has made me more empathetic. So it’s a bittersweet ...

I'd probably talk more and gain a little more confidence in it but ultimately I feel like I would still remain quiet most of the time. I'm just remembering those times I ask someone something and get ...

Why would you be embarrassed? It is a part of you. Earlier you accept the truth the better it is. You have to learn to live with it. Once you tell it to people, they will be more understanding towards...

Don’t fear it, but look at it as an opportunity to practice your speech and see better where your strengths and weaknesses are. You will get comfortable once you develop experience. Yes, there are shi...

I am the same way. I bought a speech easy device to see if it would help me. It opened my eyes that I was trying to become someone who I’m not. I never wore it again, and have never felt more confiden...
