Okay, so I know that the general consensus seems to be to never use filler words when you can.
I particularly love using "um" multiple times. Not "ummmmm" but literally "um". I tried practicing without it, ya know, using pauses and what not. But now I seriously think I sound like a robot without the "um"...?
Is it really that bad? I almost like myself better when I say "um" lol.
Example:
I really like hiking, um, it's an activity that allows me to relieve stress.
