I feel you. Honestly, most of the time I make the jokes about myself to hide my miserable insecurity about my stutter. It’s my defense mechanism I guess. It makes me feel like nobody can offend me or make fun of me if I do it myself first. I’m deeply uncomfortable with my stutter, so maybe I’ll give some thought to what you said.
