Are we not allowed any respite from the intolerance of others? Is it such a bad thing to have one little corner where we don't have to deal with the anxiety of this? Isn't that what support groups are...

One person's mild is the next person's debilitating problem. Try to have a bit more empathy for others. Your comment is condescending and judgemental for no reason. It's just a question. No need to ...

Though I can't suggest any tips as I, myself, been in that situation and to be honest, we don't have any other option other then accepting the stammering, and moving on. If you need someone to talk, I...

Don't worry about your sister, she most likely doesn't understand and is quick to judge. I've been blessed to have many supporters in everything I do (and VERY nice bosses :). I'm so glad you're in a ...
