No problem! I know what you mean man -- "the iceberg phenomenon" i've heard it called and it's true! non-stutterers don't understand the feeling unless you tell them. The more I can be "open" with my ...

Not a technique I’m afraid, I just stopped caring. I know it’s a lot easier said than done, but you have to challenge yourself and live your life as if you could speak fluently. No one in my life care...
