Yes, always! Also the reason why I always pick water instead of other drinks even if I want to. Makes it way easier for me to order. The No Ice thing is a bit of a hassle though especially when the st...

President Biden

President Biden I may be wrong but why is it that Joe Biden hasn't come out and admitted he has a stutter?... I feel like he is hiding and it's making it a lot more difficult for him. What are your th...

I completely agree with you. DON'T GIVE UP. I am 30 years old, and I stutter myself. I got my B.S. in Biology, so I know organic chemistry 1 & 2 are extremely difficult. Do not give up on being a ...

This is a big one for me. I would definitely make phone calls, order food over the phone, and apply for a job that requires a video interview or phone interview. I have a decent control over my speech...

I haven't, stuttering never pushed me further then short-time depressions. What I can understand however is the feeling of “not having a valid reason“ for feeling down. Even in economically developed ...
