Exactly how I feel. I feel like there's only a very limited vocabulary I'm able to choose from when I'm speaking. I can't express myself. I can only speak in grunts and one word sentences and the othe...

I struggle with much the same. I can't engage with people in the way I want. I can't joke around, I can't tell interesting stories, or anything. Because it's all such a struggle and a journey to say....

That's very similar to mine bro. It's weird to face the stutter over the phone when you know you can speak flawlessly in person. Any tips on how you try to manage the phone stutter?...
