People don't normally tell me to spit it out. They sometimes interrupt me and act like I wasn't talking. And I do talk slang sometimes to help my stutter. Remember, stuttering is ok....

Stuttering does make it very hard to make friends. 3 years back my stutter was so bad I could hardly say a single word. I've always been nice and polite but no one wanted to talk to me. But eventually...

Being a stutterer has helped me build long-lasting and real friendships and relations over my lifetime. It makes sense if you think about it. The people that are kind, willing to listen and are patien...

Stuff like that is embarrassing. Normally I used to say I didn't wanna play and that I'd just watch. But now I'm able to speak much more fluently and confidently. Although it's taken me years of pract...
