I’d love to meet another person who stutters. We wouldnt even have to be friends, I’d just like to meet someone else who can relate. 100% of my friends are fluent and while sometimes I feel alienated ...

I do, often with a mild chuckle. 99.9% it's a harmless attempt at humor and if I ever said something about me having a speech issue, they would likely feel horrible. I brush it off whenever possible...

I don't see any comments reacting to what you did, so I would say that you did great. Just the fact that you listened patiently is what he could appreciate. Basically if you are not embarrassed by the...

Idk. I saw him in Idaho falls in like March or something. He seemed very nice when interacting with his patrons. Whether or not he’s nice in his private life, I can’t say. Although, he often says, b...

I'm wondering if he's had time to come to one of the NSA conferences. His other videos are pretty funny and features his service dog. He's gotten a lot of crap from people in public for having his...

Did you say you had a stutter? I had to make a claim on the insurance and was told I was breaking up. Told then I stuttered. They apologised and asked me to continue. Didn’t interrupt after that. Real...

There are so many things to unpack here. 1. Your discomfort with her speech: that doesn't make you a bad person, it just makes you an unaccepting person at this time. Can you change, yes. should you ...
