You've got to be joking. The very first comment on this post... someone said they stutter when they speak alone, like many others, and you said they were making excuses. How is that not putting people down? Also, why do you feel the need to call people out or push them? You're not an expert. Nobody asked for your advice. You fixed your stuttering, good for you. You shared your story, we heard you. If you don't want to hear what other people have to say then move on. Your original post is a decent attempt at a good message, I'll give you that. However, it's lots of platitudes and hollow suggestions that are really nothing new here. We've heard it all before. But all your comments in response to people who have tried some of the techniques you suggested and found them ineffective have been argumentative, unsupportive, and definitely not indicative of the positivity or good message you claim to be intent on spreading. **Nobody** who stutters is soft. This shit is hard.
