Hey, I don't post much here, because I don't actually want to be reminded of it, as stuttering literally has NO influence at all! Only if you care about it. I learned to present in front of people by...

oh jesus, everyday man. I personally look away, but when I look back and they are staring right at me, I freak out internally...

I work in customer service talking on the phone all day, I had a really bad stutter (I won't do the guys and girls on here the injustice of claiming I have one since I speak perfectly now, though I do...

I learned how to keep eye contact while speaking to someone and keeping it when I block. It shows non verbally that your stutter doesn't bother you. ...

I barely look people in the eye when I speak to them, feels easier to talk that way because I get more nervous if I look at them and my thought pattern kinda disappears...

I never make eye contact with people. It's really uncommon for me to do so. I'm aware it engages with the listener, but I can't get myself to do so. I believe that if I lose eye contact, they'll also ...

Just tried this and it is slightly more difficult but no noticeable stammer. Would this help? As i have worked on my stammer for a while, with my closest friends they say they don't notice a stammer,...

Covert stutterers are pretty common. I personally can't handle it. It's just a bad way to live. I've found that people are mostly understanding, and if they're not, then they're not the kind of people...
