I started using that mindset a while ago. I got tired of being restricted so I broke free and started saying stuff even if I stuttered on them. I got tired of find replacement words that didn’t quite ...

Yes, it's funny actually. I don't stutter when I read out loud to myself, but when I order food at a restaurant I do. For example at Subway I stutter when I say "mayonnaise" but I can say it out loud ...
