thanks. But no. it’s because it’s so bad people literally make glances or try to end conversations quickly and/or mock me. not to mention the sheer difficulty in finding jobs. “Nobody is holding you back but you” is an absolutely horrible quote that doesn’t apply for everyone. I’m refraining from being boorish because you did try to help. But keep in mind that’s a completely apathetic way to look at a situation. Thanks again for the links. PS: I looked over your post history and it explains a bit more. Try to keep in mind that everyone’s stutter is different. Mine is moderate-severe and has affected me since birth. Yours is mild, situational, and started quite recently. Again, thanks but I cannot stress enough how important is to try to understand a situation before giving cliches. I’m ASD myself.
