New here and this is my first post so here it goes... Confidence definitely has something to do with my stutter. I stutter more when I think about stuttering. When I stutter on a word it gets added to what I like to think as my "stutter dictionary". This dictionary contains all the words I fear and which makes think about stutter which makes me stutter even more on that word. It drops my confidence. I feel like most of the time it is all in my head but I just can't stop thinking about what words I'm gunna fail on.
