...also, just being facetious! Although I've stuttered my entire life, I'm extreeeeeemly outgoing. I've pretty much mastered the art of "small talk" and being covert. I'm a pincher and when that doesn't work, I say "right" or "lick" when I get a block. I am apart of the McQuire Institute for Stammering. The confidence gained by going thru the programme, is immense. If you've never done it I highlyyyyy recommend it. McGuire Institute for Stammering teaches/pushes you PAST your Insecurities surrounding stuttering and its been so beneficial for my everyday life experiences. I now have meaningful "small talk" that has garnered me all kinds of opportunities. Girls are everywhere and I can tell you most don't care about your stuttering. I know that's not the record you play in your mind, but PUSH yourself with sincere small talk, and FIND YOUR VOICE ! Love you all 😍
