Bad habits really catch up with you after you are 40. Edit: I am more self-conscious about my looks but less self-conscious about my stutter. If someone wants to make fun of me, that is their issue...

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Your case is definetely severe and out of the ordinary. Most stutterers don't have problems talking to themselves or singing. It's nice that you accept it and have ...

I agree in some sense, but everyone isn't the same as you. Some people aren't able to just stand up and say "pfft, it's just a stutter". I believe you should learn to respect that too....

Yeah. I finally found a program based on accepting who you are. We are people who stutter and there's nothing actually bad about that. In fact, the stuttering isn't even that bad, it's all the accompa...

Essentially all I've learned on therapy was to not be ashamed of it and allow it to happen. Relieves all the stress and ultimately lowers it significantly. Why are you afraid of your HUSBAND knowing...
