That my friend, is a prick. Stutterers have to build a lot of tolerance for ignorance and cruelty. As much as it sucks, I like to remember it builds character. We’ll get that thick skin ✊...

I don’t know if this will help but it really helped me. I make jokes about my stutter to help other feel more at ease and kinda use it as more of a presentable trait. It helped me meet my best friend,...

Thank you! You’re right.. I think it’s because my stutter isn’t that bad so the possibility it could have been helped a lot in childhood haunts me.. but I shouldn’t hold resentment or live in the past...
