Met someone who also stutters! Met (for the first time organically) someone who also stutters. It took me 23 years, but it finally happened and I couldn't have been more excited by it. Was introducing myself to several guys in a group following up with the usual "just to let you know, I stutter FYI". One of the guys lightly said "me too" which you tend to just ignore because they're trying to empathize. However, I know a stuttering stutter when I hear one and I brought it up to him later like "Dude! You actually stutter! Awesome!" to where we breifly talked about it. Just wanted to share my experience and open discussion for any similar experiences!
