All people here sugarcoating it, but in reality stutter is of course massive disadvantage. We might die alone even if we try really hard. There is not much solace for us. I guess focusing on what we...

It's not, and that's why my communication is limited to a few words or sentences when I meet new people. I might come across as aloof or disinterested as a result, so I always put on a smile and seem ...
