I don't believe in any god, and as such, I don't believe I was given anything. I see no reason to mix religion into it at all. But sure, it's an uncommon thing that we've got going. I'm pretty sure m...

Jeeeze my man. From what you write, it seems like you're carryinng a ton of mental baggage. Maybe a psychologist could help you lighten the load? Stuttering sucks, but as far as I know, there's no fix...

Yeah, it is a great advice unless I actually stutter more when I don't care about my stuttering and therefore don't try to control it. So thanks, but no, allow me to care about my stuttering....

Nah dude, this ain't it. Times will come when you'll need to speak for real. Maybe you don't want to work a job where you're isolated and don't speak to nobody at all. Most careers require human inter...
