1. She’s very well aware that she’s stuttering. In fact we sometimes know we’re going to stutter even before we say the words. The “trance” you’re seeing is a physical blockage - like your face or mou...

1. Yes, they 1000% know -- like hyper-aware know. 2. I personally find it very disrespectful. Would you push a person in a wheelchair without asking them? Taking away anyone's sense of autonomy witho...
