Yeah the mindset is a really big factor. And I often catch myself giving up on saying something. But I think there are times where I'm just not given the opportunity. Or I am given an opportunity but...

Whichever language I use more, the stuttering seems to be less. I spoke English most of my childhood but now I live in Mongolia. My stuttering was worse when I started to speak Mongolian daily, but it...

I sometimes just skip saying it all together. Here’s an example. If I have to say “welcome home” I will subtly just say “elcome home” instead. It’s extremely hard to notice this change and it usuall...

Don't hesitate to reset. Sometimes we fight a block so much the energy expenditure means further blocking down the line. Don't hesitate to put little silences and reset before having to say the letter...

I think you should go and if you do go, bring a relative with you who knows how to ease convos up. So that way they’re not too centered on your stutter triggers. Not saying someone who can speak for y...

Nice one. Unfortunately, Phenibut isn’t legal in many countries. The closest medication to it would be Baclofen, which has also shown to improve fluency at certain doses. I take Baclofen and Propano...

I’m sorry man. My shitty advice would be to say what you want/need to say and stutter your ass off. Make people wait and tell them to not interrupt you and say you are speaking. Easier said than done,...
