Ask him. Stutterers have different attitudes (at different times) towards their stuttering. I sometimes don't mind people filling in the gaps (and I can usually say the problematic item straight after...

No that definitely helps. I have only been here two weeks, and didn't really notice anything until the "slow down and breath" guy came in. When he talks to me it is barely notable. There have only ...

Anyone here who feels like their stutter keeps them from doing things in life should seek out speech therapy. There are many things you can do to work towards acceptance of the disorder. It worked for...

To be honest I read the prompt and decided that Wendy had a stutter that was mistaken for cowardice. Then I read the posts here to get into the character of Wendy....

I feel like he is being insensitive to you. If you're clearly struggling and having a hard time and he's still not taking it seriously, then he sounds like a d-bag. Don't make an excuse for him on t...

I think the spectating gaze is always going to have some element of primal gawking. Benign or malicious, the feeling that someone is taking your attention without much of a satisfying reward must lead...

Not really. I usually just write shorter pieces, but I could definitely expand the story since I usually do have a world imagined when I write theses short stories....

I know the feeling. I haven't had a sick day in work for 6 years because even when I'm lying in bed thinking I'm going to die, I'd rather drag myself into work and do manual labour than pick up the ph...
