Stop being so pessimistic & negative. You got this, own your stutter. Talk to people & make them wait for you. I sometimes stutter more on purpose when I see them losing patience, it’s hilarious. Be p...

A block, in my humble opinion, is mostly due to you not truly allowing yourself to stutter freely. The block then happens as a sort of panic response. I never allowed myself to stutter absolutely fre...
