I tried to do it but backfired completely xd. There's so much things I could if I was a fluent speaker but my stutter holds me back and I rarely talk to anyone. I probably developed aspd from my men...

I try my best to hide it. People always ask me when I'm socializing, "and why are you so quiet". Then I reply, that I'm more of a listener. I'd love to interact, but due to this thing, I can't always....

Yeah I relate. I’ve always hidden my stutter. I’ll change my words around or find different ways to say things just to avoid stuttering. Over time I’ve developed selective mutism, I barely talk out lo...

Even w/o the stutter, there's still the fear of being ignored, mocked, say something misunderstood, clumsy or wrong, the fear of being the center of attention when you talk, the fear of giving a bad a...

Wow, that is horrible. Porky was one I loved as a kid too, in spite of my stutter. He didn't make me feel self conscious for some reason (similar things normally would). With that said, I don't think ...
