I'm a stutterer.. I'd like to help in a way. Hey, I'm 21, English and I stutter, I'd say mild to severe depending on the day. I'm just going to throw this out there. If you want someone to talk to about random stuff, whatever you want and not have the fear of being judged, I'd like to talk to you. Even if you just wanna call and talk about your day that's fine, I know from personal experience that a stutter can be extremely isolating and can make you feel lonely, I've been there and sometimes I go back there. So if you wanna chat with some random 21 year old stuttering British guy, I'm down. I feel like a creeper saying this, but women are welcome to lol I won't be creeping on anyone here haha, I'm just looking to have a fun and find common ground in our personal experiences with our stutter and give you an outlet where you can vent you know? :) If you're an older person please do not be put of by my age, I understand if you're 40 you see me as a child and that's fine, but I assure you I can carry my own when it comes to a some what intellectual and mature conversation and I would kill to hear your stories and your experiences in life in general and with your stutter. I doubt anyone will be interested, but I figured I'd throw the offer on the table. My skype name is Throwawaysted and everyone of all backgrounds and creeds are welcome. ;) Just on a sidenote, I may not be able to calls for the next couple of days because I don't have a mic so I have to use my internal one in my laptop and my laptop fan is really loud.. so that may be an issue haha, I've ordered a mic though and that should be here soon.
