A lot of people assume we do not want to speak. You have to correct their wrong assumptions. Is it hard for me to speak? Yes. Does it mean I want to be saved from speaking? No. Is it hard for a Marathon runner to finish a race? Yes. It is hard work. Do they want to be stopped in the middle of a race by a troll who says "stop. you don't have to do this. I'll finish the race for you"? No. That is what I tell people.
