I really couldn’t tell you how he is feeling inside his mind as we are all different in the way we process our thoughts/emotions when we enter a speech block we can’t seem to get out of easily. If th...

Ironically, I don’t care that he stutters but I DO care if we don’t ultimately share the same sense of humor or ability to connect over conversation. I just don’t know how to figure that part out. I...
