Same. Through school it was like 9/10 kids were mean or said something about it but adult life almost nobody has said anything and pretends I'm not doing it I guess. I've had about 2 occasions on the ...

Of course life would be better without a stutter. But we don’t have a choice in the matter, so you adjust and will get by great. If reading aloud in a book club makes you happy, go for it. My point is...
