“No core reason to be confident.” You’ve decided for yourself that there is no reason for someone with a stutter to be confident. Is that your message to everyone on this sub? I stutter and I live my life with confidence, because I know that I have as much right as anyone else to a fulfilling life. Maybe some people think I shouldn’t because they don’t have the patience for me, screw them. Gain confidence, not to please others but because we deserve it.
