That's absolutely horrific to hear, stuttering is normal and there's nothing wrong with getting a helping hand. When I first came into the school, when i introduced myself to people I would just say '...

I feel you. It feels so shit from our end, but always remember that most people are very understanding with stuttering and they probably won’t even remember the whole scenario in the future anyway!...

I used to consider listening an asset, but it can also be a liability. You don't want to become an emotional tampon. Some people are just looking for someone willing enough to listen and they'll never...

I feel the same way. However, just for arguments sake, is ‘being a good listener’ one of those traits that most people identify with? Like how studies have shown something like 80% of drivers think th...
