I really struggled with this when I was younger. Ultimately, people are going to treat you the way they treat you. You can't really change it so it's not worth getting mad about. Just remember that e...

I don't know how I feel about this. A month ago I was severe to the point of being physically unable to order at a restaurant or cafe... this happened multiple times. I would want a coffee - struggle ...

There is a big great wide world out there. With all sorts of different types of people. Some will accept you for who you are and some will not. That really isn't any different than anyone elses lot in...

Don't let how long it takes for you to speak, or how you sound get in the way of saying what you want to say. Life is to short for that. It takes a lot to overcome this. Your stutter shouldn't have to...
