I used to stutter and my own younger sister would make fun of me. This was very depressing and even though I don't stutter anymore, it's a horrible memory that sticks with me. As for you: are you fa...

I'm no psychologist but I'd guess it's because you're being honest with yourself! You're bringing it out into the open and not hiding it. That's powerful stuff. I think stutterers learn from an absurd...
