If it wasn't for the fact that I can make music and pretty much never stutter when doing so, I definitely would have given up by now. That said, would be cool if you all checked out my music!

She has the finesse of a cannon ball, but she, unfortunatelly, got a point. Life is hard and you'll do better if you grow a thick skin about/accept your stutter. The hermit thing will only make it wo...

Don't worry too much about it. Just keep your head up and if your stuttering happens, then just move forward. I was scared as well about my stutter, and I still am today. But, it's really not worth it...

Stuttering holds us back only if we let it. Be your best self at work. Smile, maintain eye contact while speaking and stuttering. If you project self confidence, customers/listeners will follow your c...

That’s a test for any relationship youre in. If they don’t accept you for who you are and your stutter then drop them immediately. They aren’t worth your time and they weren’t meant to be in your life...
