I understand what your saying. I have a mild stutter too. I understand not wanting to talk to people. Ive found its good for remediating communication to put yourself out there and you have to do things to get better at them. Honestly, I don't know what to expect. I've been a stutterer all my life but I'm at a point now, luckily, where I can talk to people normally and have them not know I stutter so I almost feel like a stutter poser. I'm studying speech disorders and trying to start a masters program next year. I want to really help and do things in fluency and I need people like you to participate. I'm not asking you guys/girls to be experiments but I want to understand your feelings on everything regarding communication so I can help better when I finally finish school. Generally the idea would be the same as a group meeting. I'm no facilitator and I won't be assuming that role. I just wanted to chat and have somewhere that stutterers could stutter at eachother without feeling like people are judging them and with as little pressure as possible. I know what it's like to try to say a word for 2 minutes. It sucks, but we could all talk about it and other stuff. It's just an idea that I felt could help people who stutter come out and talk; and dual purpose for me to do the same and learn about others that have fluency difficulties.
