Every time I try to fix my stutter it gets worse so I really just say to myself that my stutter isn’t the issue it’s the narrative that I created around it that people judge me which most of the time ...

I just butcher my own name and pronounce it differently on purpose 😭 It's better to lie than ruin the first impression. Then later on when I'm comfortable with them I give them my real pronunciation...

For me, that was the real turning point. I wanted to feel as free with others as I do when I’m alone with myself. To get rid of shyness, shame, guilt, insecurity, and the constant worry about what oth...

Absolutely. I removed the factors that were holding me back, minimized my interactions with people, and avoided places where I felt unsafe, insecure, or depressed. Gradually, I started to build my con...

Can’t believe you’re getting hate for speaking the truth. Stammering is 100% tied to obsession with fluency and self confidence. It’s a vicious cycle of trying to be fluent, failing, getting depressed...

You aren't the reason you stutter. There are things going on in your brain that lead to stuttering that differ from fluent people. No amount of self reflection will fix your stutter because psycholog...
