Same I have pretty bad social anxiety and I am absolutely adamant that if I was 'normal' as in much less anxiety I would be much more fluent. Example, I could always speak perfectly fluent with my s...

Not likely for me at least. The flute's lowest octave (which I'm relatively well practiced in) is just above my vocal range. I did start playing a few years before I developed a stutter though, and it...

I don't know how to approach this. That's why I'm here. I know his stuttering is a huge source of self-hatred and causes him a lot of stress in his life. From an outside perspective, I can see that he...
