I appreciate you commenting on my post. That’s one of the things I have to work on, caring about others opinion. It’s just so hard, it’s like a habit. You go all your life staying in the shadows, try...

Jesus that’s goofy. You think we’d be introverts without a stutter? Probably varies on the person but I’ve always thought I wouldn’t be. Got a lot of pent up extroversion I can’t express sometimes....

I served in the Marine Corps for five years. My stutter got worse while I was in and I developed severe depression and anxiety. I'm 29 and earn my B.A. in Philosophy this May. After that, I'm starting...
