As a fellow stutterer, I always tried to pretend like it didn't bother me when I did stutter and it didn't seem to bother anyone that I was speaking to. If they can see that you're comfortable with yo...

That’s a good joke. I remember the first time someone told me I wouldn’t stutter if I just relaxed. At the time I truly believed it but my social anxiety always got in the way. I honestly thought I wo...
