I was answering a question someone else put up. Again, I’m sorry if my answer isn’t what you wanted. But as I’ve learned, life got a lot easier when I stopped feeling bad for myself and just came to terms with the fact that my stutter isn’t going anywhere. It’s a part of me. There isn’t a cure, nor will there be. I’ll struggle, but complaining about it won’t do anything. This subreddit isn’t just for adults though, there are young teens here as well and maybe people like Biden will inspire them or give them hope. Show them that it might get easier, it might fade away. Lynch shows that if you add a bit of comedy to the situation it might not be so bad. It’s not a matter of self deprecation, it’s more seeing the other side of things. It’s not glass half empty or half full, it’s seeing that the glass has something in it and to just shut up and drink it. My celebrity choice wasn’t meant to offend you, but even if it did I won’t take it back because it wasn’t meant just for you. It was meant to answer the question
