I think twice. I say it over again, thrice. For now, it left -- exit stage right. I strutted my Renaissance onstage and claimed me, for the first time. Aaron. Titus Andronicus. My stage my mind my tongue My audience Listen! I don't need to speak Until it suits me. The stage is all conflict The world is all conflict I gotta suck in the conflict Past the b.s. and disconnect And I stutter and spit as I begin to tell the truth Because I know I'm right And I stop sputtering Because I know I know now. I Still Stutter.
I think twice.
I say it over again,
thrice.

For now, it left —
exit stage right.

I strutted my
Renaissance onstage and claimed
me,
for the first time.

Aaron. Titus Andronicus.

My stage my mind my tongue
My audience
Listen!
I don’t need to speak
Until it suits me.

The stage is all conflict
The world is all conflict
I gotta suck in the conflict
Past the b.s. and disconnect

And I stutter and spit as I
begin to tell the truth
Because I know I’m right
And I stop sputtering
Because I know I know

now.

Yes, the world wide web certainly enhances our abilities to connect with people who stutter all over the world! I'd love to hear more from you. What are the techniques you've learned? What have you learned about the emotional side of stuttering? If you see this message, you are welcome to respond here, or start a new topic in the discussions tab of our Facebook Page.

Very fine to me, because I don't know any other stutterer in Norway, and my network teached me a lot about technics and emotions. I've never received any therapy, but I made my own ways, and I'm doing very fine noow, but still some out of the blue. :)) I learned about AIS by joining groups NSA and PSA on facebook, and by yours, mr Herder, status about AIS on facebook.I now got a contacts/network all over the world.

What an analogy, to compare stuttering to the one green potato chip in a bag. Thanks for sharing! Jessi,

My stuttering often comes out of the blue
But I’m blaming my fear of be speaking too
My emotions can tell
Some people quite well
How I deal with it, but the most have no tiny clue.
