great question. i'm an adult now but thinking back on when i struggled most, i would plan my words ahead more and have anxiety more before speaking but my core was always a boy who was extroverted. th...

I'm pretty sure it's at least significantly due to my stuttering. Although perhaps less so in how often I speak, but in what I say when I do. When writing I feel like I 'speak' much more freely, usin...

Sometimes I think I would be A LOT funnier if I didn’t have a stutter, there’s so many punchlines or jokes that I just don’t say because I know I’m going to stutter and it won’t end up being funny....

Well, I think the easiest way to think of it is that we are in multiple ways, depending on what we're doing. There's no singular way that we are in (or are not in, as it were). This might actually be...

I stutter barely at all when I read out loud. I think it's because it's a more controlled setting, so I'm mentally prepared and take it really slow. It's the sponteneity of conversation that throws me...

The cashier at the bagel place near me thinks my name is John since it's easier for me to say than my real name haha. There's been a few awkward moments when friends join me there, though......
