Oh my God, I hate phone interviews so much! People ask me, "Are you nervous?" I tell them no, but then they're like, "Well, why are you stuttering?" or "Why can't you talk?" There's no way you can tel...

But what's the point of doing all of it? For instance, for stutterers, the end goal is that you are confident about it, learn that people are totally accepting of it, and you are able to stutter freel...

It's beautiful advice, but its real world practicality varies. When I'm in the middle of a block, I can slow down all I want, but I'm still there with my mouth gaping open making choking sounds....

I've noticed this as well. After the first half bowl or so, I think my fluency gets way better, but by the time the bowl is finished or after a second bowl, I tend to block a bit more. On top of that...
