For years and years I never spoke in person, I never answered phone calls, I never interacted with anyone because my stutter was so severe I couldn't string two words together. I started practising various methods to help improve it, breathing techniques, exercises, the list goes on and on.

I dont see how saying someone can achieve what they put their mind and time into is offensive and shows a lack of empathy when quite frankly I've been there, and succeeded on many occasions. I apologise if I've caused any offense but I disagree
