How about we relate it to a different disability. What if every time you looked at someones blown off leg in a wheelchair they got weird about it. Or they got weird about you asking what being blind i...

Well it’s bad advice to just say “get some confidence” it’s a process. Be brave might make more sense but it does sound dramatic. The confidence comes from being brave. If there is something you avoid...

In many situations in life I realized that stuttering is nowhere near to be main issue, I thought it was only thing holding me back to have good life. It was (and still is) hard to admit, but I couldn...
