Hello, guys! I am Carina, 19 years old and a person who stutters. I came back to this app yesterday, because I felt the need to work on my speech again, since my blocks became pretty out of control for me and it's become quite difficult to deal with my stutter. I told myself that it's important to just try to use certain tools that make me feel more relaxed in speaking and not be ashamed of it, but without pursuing fluency (even though it's not so simple in real life).
Anyways, just wanted to leave a message here, and hope you all are good!

Hey, guys. How have you been lately?
I was thinking to put here a question for all. What are your favorite hobbies?

I wondered many times, what does represent the cute penguin from the logo of this app? It seems like a symbol and I would like to know, just out of curiosity, what does it symbolize?

Hey, people. I got a challenge from this app to write about a goal of mine in the next 6 months, so here I am. :)
So, in the next 6 months, I really want to be able to keep my eye contact more with all of people, especially in the moment of stutters, because I know I struggle many times with maintaing a good eye contact, and so, if I will manage to do that, I will know that my feelings of shame and fear would be at least a bit diminished, which would mean a lot to me.

Anyways, I hope you all are alright and that you don't let your stutter determine who you are. I like to remind myself that my stutter is just a little part of me, just a tiny part of my personality. Maybe it would be a good reminder for some of you as well, who knows ~

Hello, people!
I am a person who stutters and I am quite new on this app, just found about it today. Anyways, I am 18 years old, I have lots of hobbies, but my stutter really had put a big imprint in my life.
However, these last 2 years, I have been learning a lot about my stuttering and gradually I started to shift my perspective about it, in a good way! I am glad I found this app and I hope that it will help me in improving my real life speaking situations and my speech in general.
