TIP number 2, as you said its just a temporary solution. You will adapt with it and it wont work for long. Number 3, as i have "blocks" or "stammer" i dont know how you call it in english. I usually go out of breathe before i even start to talk. Like if i want to ask something and my first word will be "hello" but i know that i cant say that word out, but im still trying and at the same time my breathe is going out and when i finally get to say that word the person usually wont hear me cause it sounds like a whisper. I have been having stutter for as long as i can remember. 18 years.
