Congratulations to you shrc91! Very inspirational and motivational. I find stuttering to be so damn mysterious. I could probably stand to learn more about it. I'm almost 32 years old and my stutter has suddenly gotten much more extreme. I don't want to say "worse" because I'm tired of framing stuttering in negative terms. It is what it is, that doesn't mean its horrible. But I was in a job interview today and explained that I have a stutter. It felt good to get that out in the open, but at the same time, I felt later like I said it in an apologetic way. Why the hell should I apologize for stuttering, I'm sick of that. I don't know why my stutter has gotten so extreme and I'd like to find strategies to make it less extreme. But I'm done apologizing for it, and I am done hiding it. (Maybe that's why its gotten more extreme<<<A ha)
