Maybe it's just me, but I would definitely want my stuttering to go away. Wishing for hardship to stay with you because you get to "overcome" it seems like roundabout logic to me. And saying "but wa...

Do that. As many times as necessary. One thing that might help as well is to read something out loud for at least 30 minutes everyday. That makes your brain get used to the sound of your voice. It mig...

In the last few years I’ve come to think that these little triumphs have a dark side. When we fail to pass as fluent we overreact, so we start avoiding social interactions. At least I have, and that...

I don't stutter when I'm alone. The reason is probably that anxiety exacerbates stuttering for most people. I also rarely do it when I'm in a controlled situation, like reading a planned out presentat...
