My brother. Take time to feel however you need to feel but you wouldn’t judge a quadriplegic for his coordination. They should find something for you that requires less speaking. If they won’t someone...

You sound like a clever chap, don’t give up, for society to improve it needs to understand the complexity of life, it needs you. Instead, try and give up taking to heart unqualified feedback, if someo...

Head up, I know it may be hard to ignore people being jerks but I don’t think you should let them dictate your future. I hope you can overcome this and fulfill your dreams. Hope it gets better ❤️....

Hey I have, twice with two different people. It was an overall nice experience and it did work for a bit! It could have been me, it could have been them, but I’d say give it a go if you’re able to. It...

Well to be honest I don’t think I’ve ever hold anyone’s stutter against them, and think it’s pretty immature for anyone to do that. For the record, I like him because he’s a truly kind and sincere per...

I voted in this poll and I think most people interpreted it as people *showing* empathy, not just feeling it. I'd be kinda annoyed if people showed empathy every time I stuttered. I also think when pe...

Theres probably a nicer way to say things. You could say people notice it but it'll never be something that makes people not like you. People aren't concerned with stuff like that"...
