It’s so good to see someone speaking some genuine from-the-heart truth up in this bitch. Stuttering fucking blows. It’s undeniable. I don’t want to come across like some kind of asshole here, but t...

Wow, that's unbelievable, especially for an adult. I make kind of weird faces when I stutter too and people often think they're funny or dumb looking. If I hadn't been too shocked I probably would hav...

I just don't get it, because it should be obvious we aren't doing it on purpose or to be funny. Seriously, I struggle so much sometimes I can't breathe and get so physically tense. I wish I had some...
