The good ol "don't let your stuttering define you", well that's going to happen whether you like it or not. Stuttering isn't just something you can ignore, It rids you of what billions of humans can do. You should know this as a stutterer. Seeing other people fluently speaking, having fun with their friends, getting lovers, jobs, will always eat at my soul, likely yours too. "Don't make it a big deal", this really drives my point home... something that's thrashing your life will always get a negative reaction from you.
