I also have the same problem. During everyday life I’m fine. But when it’s time to hang out socially I just can’t do it. It may be an introvert issue, but I know exactly what I want to say but just ca...

Ive heard people using antianxiety medication to reduce stuttering. Seems logical because anxiety causes stuttering to become severe. But it wont cure it. I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT AND IF YOU DECIEDE TO T...

I think it happens because when we whisper, or use accents, we're actually focusing on the tone of our voice, but not on the words we say. It is like when we sing, we don't stutter. But when we're tal...

It can if you let it? In my experience, the initial attraction is coupled enormously to self-confidence (as you note). I think if my stuttering ever got in the say, it was just because I let it te...
