Does anyone else get told this? I was talking to some classmates the other day and we were talking about why people got bullied. I said "for me it's because the way I talk." They looked at me like I was crazy and said "Really?! Who do I have to go after? I love the way you talk! I've had experiences like this before with people liking the way I talk or think it's cute. I've never met another stutterer that's had this experience. For context: I just can't pronounce the letter "r" and have mild blocks and one letter repetition.
