It's not cause I'm nervous, Sharon. The nominations for the worst stutter assumptions are.... "You're just nervous, relax" "You're talking too fast" "You're just excited, slow down" "You're overthinking" Yes, technically all of these do affect a stutter, but I hope one day people will realize we cannot control it most of the time and calming down and talking slower are only strategies, and they don't solve everything. Maybe one day I don't have to explain myself anymore.
