It's cool you are a capable public speaker. Based on what you wrote in this post, my first thought is about time and you perceiving urgency. When speaking publicly, one-on-one, or formally, there is...

I've never had too many problems. Maybe it's because the people I date are good friends first, so they already know me and have accepted my problem. Also, if any guy had an issue with who I was, I wou...

I can relate to your feelings. The below is advice I'd have given to my 14 year old self. I felt like I shouldn't be stuttering in the first place so I never admitted it or accepted it. I feel that's...

No problem. I say it's not as tough as you think because if you learn to accept your stutter, that's a huge step towards overcoming it and being in control of the way you speak to a certain degree. I'...
