My advice would be to not make a big thing of it, the more you think about it when you are in the conversation the more attention you are paying to it, and will probably end up stammering more. Don't ...

You might find this is more common than you think. If I prepare a particular sentence to try to avoid stuttering on it, I'll know the word(s) I'll struggle with. The weird thing is, if I feel more i...

I think that sometimes, but in reality struggling to get out my name is no fun for me, or the person I'm talking to. It's so tempting to chose an easier name to say. But then again, i realize it's...
