I hate when people talk for me. It’s annoying. Gotta remember, it’s a small moment in time. Take your time with yourself. Don’t over exert yourself. If it happens, try again and get better next time. ...

There are no jobs that are “suitable for moderate to severe stutterers”....there are only jobs that you won’t even try to do or can and will do. I know my limitations, both physically and psychologica...
