I know that the key to success is to embrace that I stutter and be confident, but I just don't know how to 'not give a f*ck'. I've always been very sensitive to what other people think about me, which...

Speaking from personal experience, it helped that I'm a hunk and looked great in uniform :) Other than that I don't stutter nearly as much when I first meet people. It's after I'm comfortable with s...
