i dont stutter but my boyfriend does and his stems from stress and anxiety. he barely stutters around me because he says he's "comfortable with me" idk if your stutter is biological or if it comes from childhood experiences like his but it may have to do with the confidence or the lack of anxiety about how others will perceive you. in fact when we trip on shrooms he doesnt stutter at all, not once no matter who he talks to. he also has crazy confidence not in the drunk sense where hes superman and will do dangerous stuff, but in the sense that he doesnt care at all what others think and has the opportunity to be himself. nothing else has ever worked for him no pills speech therapy nothing. i cant begin to imagine how you or him feels about stuttering but i promise you that not everyone is out to judge you, you know because you have friends who really care about you :) please dont overdo the drinking because there are consequences that come with every "freebie" none of us are dealt perfect cards in life but we all have to deal with the root problem rather than cover it up with bandages. having said that, im glad that drinking can be elevated by the extra bonus of not stuttering. and i thought being drunk was already amazing enough on its own xD EDIT: i just thought to add this, my bfs stutter actually gets worse with alcohol and similarly his anxiety and stress gets exponentially worse as well. he goes from stuttering every sentence to every other word.
