The notion of getting it right sometimes takes away from the overall message you’re trying to get across. I’m also ocd about many things so getting/doing things right plays a huge role in why I repeat...

I suggest that you don't overindulge in this concept of acceptance, if you desire to be more fluent than you currently are. Don't put yourself in a box and say "I'm a stutterer and this is how I'll a...
