Defense mechanism and stuttering Have you ever used devaluation to avoid feeling ashamed of your stuttering (like, "why I should worry about them if they worse then me")? How do you overcome this? This defense mechanism used to help me, but now it only makes me feel worse; I have no interest in interacting with people.
