I attended a conference where there was a stutterer much worse than me. While I sat quietly listening and didn’t dare to raise my hand, he was the most vocal one among hundreds of attendees. He asked all sorts of questions, one after another, stuttering throughout. On one hand, I really admired him. On the other, I wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it because I know I’d sound exactly like him. Later, I found out he was married with children and all. I’m still single:-( So if you dare, go ahead and don’t give a fuck. You will have a better chance of living a normal life.
