I agree that it's when we try not to stutter that we do... but I appreciate to some extent your refusal of the label. Personally I've transitioned to "I *have* challenges speaking sometimes" rather th...

I am gonna be honest and maybe a little harsh with you. Countless of people who stutter are out there living their lives and owning it. I've had a guy in my high school class who stuttered up to the ...

Thanks, man. Your reply was more than I could've asked for. I think I was just having a bad day and focusing on the negative. On the whole, the severity of my speech impediment is dependent on my stat...
