Content

First off, you replied to a comment I made in response to a question I was asked from someone else. To avoid confusion, don't ask an unrelated question under a parent comment. Second, I'm not sure I can answer that concisely. My "message" doesn't just consist of one or two ideas or thoughts. In fact, I'm not sure if I have a message at all. What I do know is that I've learned to reduce my stutter to almost entirely blocks, and in doing so have made it a lot easier to hide them. However, I'm not advocating this as sound advice. I know a lot of people here subscribe to the "fuck it" theory which I'm sure has its own merits of success. However, I can't bring myself to care that little about my stuttering. I wish I could sometimes.
