Major upvote for this one. My personal record is about an hour of rerecords to get the message to be fluent. It felt like absolute torture the entire time and I absolutely hated myself for about a day...

I absolutely 100% relate to this, actually almost made me cry. But, we have to keep moving forward and keep learning better ways to be more fluent. Having said that, yes, it absolutely fucking sucks s...

Hard same. I have speech blocks and people look at me like I'm stupid (and I know that's how I look) when someone asks me my name and I stare at them with my mouth open trying to get it out. I hate it...

I apologize for my rude bluntness but maybe they look at you like you're slow when you're trying to awkwardly hide your stutter instead of stuttering. I have have been quite severe most of my life and...

Yeah, some days I have trouble with saying A-words, so I can't say hello to people in my language. All I can do is smile and hold out my hand. So. Much. Cringe. ...
