Sorry bud but it all comes down to not giving a fuck. It took me 26 years to accept it but once you do it's liberating. People don't give a fuck. People who do are assholes that aren't worth your time...

I stopped caring what people think about it. If I stutter, I stutter. If I don't, I don't. Anyone with any decency won't mind putting up with it. I'll do my best not to stutter, but eventually I reali...

I’m a girl. Most of the bullying I experienced as a kid for my stutter came from other girls. I have no idea why. When it comes to trying to get rid of that fear of stuttering in front of girls or re...
