This is a trick I used to use that no longer works for me because I no longer do it. When I was a teenager I'd do anything to hide my stutter. At that time I felt unloved, unwanted and unable to do anything right. I went as far as to change my personality and my name, just to please others. Sometimes I still cannot pronounce my name, but I'm proud of it and will not change it. Sometimes I still change my personality, but that's only on stage or in a crazy mood. The words that got stuck then, still get stuck sometimes, but at least they come out after a while. I still avoid doing some things, but only because I don't like to do them.
