Thats good that you have that attitude. There was one other guy in my grade that stuttered and he had a similar take. He would talk really fast, and if it took him 15 stammers to say one word, well he...

Of course not, but a pessimistic attitude will not lead to success. It wasn't until I built my own self-confidence that I got over my stutter--I still stutter, but people hardly notice it unless I bri...

I don't know if this is the best advice, but I think its a bad idea to try to hide or mask your eccentricities when it comes to stuttering. I've been stuttering my whole life and it hasn't been much...
