I agree with cicadas\_stammering! Circumlocution is an omnipresent thing. The thought before every sentence, every word I say: Can I say it that way? Will I stutter this? How can I replace it to prev...

My story I have been stuttering since grade 3. I was a little kid wondering why sometimes I can’t say certain words or even my name I didn’t know what was wrong with me ;then my stutter disappeared up...

Obviously won’t help everyone, but I used to block so much on the “h” of hello. Now I kind of answer the phone with a tuneful “yello!” No one notices and it means I can answer the phone semi confident...
