That's a very bad advice. You can do anything you want to do. Stuttering is just the way you talk, and i feel like if you own it and wear it on your sleeve it might even open new opportunities...

None. This may sound crazy or insensitive, but stuttering is a weird thing. Most people don't do it, so it looks crazy when we do. I don't blame people for wondering wtf is wrong and cutting the tens...
