Always when i stutter and people laugh I look at them like they're dumb and then they understand that they're dumb for laughing. As long as you know what you're doing and they don't, you're the winner...

I've been described as charismatic by many people and I have moderate to severe stutter. I don't believe I am innately charismatic though. I rely on "fake it till you make it" mentality. I have also ...
