Wanted to share my positive success with everyone here! Speaking from my own experiences here, stuttering can be something really isolating. It makes me hesitant to talk to new people, hesitant to pla...

In my opinion, you've done a noble act :) It takes balls as a stutterer to do these sorts of things, just remember that!...

After many year of stress and embarrassment I realized that my stutter works as a some kind of a social filter. It repels not all but a good portion of unpleasant people. I never had too many friends ...
