Comfortability Talking to People
Comfortability Talking to People I doubt I'm the only one who feels like this. Generally, the more I know a person, the more comfortable I am talking to them. With most people, I know that they want...
Do it! I still stutter but I fully credit the hobby with getting me out of my shell and comfortable with my own voice. Now I'm getting up in front of total strangers and talking for HOURS....

And the Stuttering Just Dies - Part 4 [Hello there](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/1qxigus/and_the_stuttering_just_dies_part_3/) I had another post in mind I thought I'd write There isn't...
First, you're not alone. I am in my 40s now, but I was a very severe stutterer and I related to every single thing you said. I won't sugar coat things, I was a hot mess, especially in the first half...

Once upon a time I had an ad up on bdsmpersonals and I said that same thing: Mean what you say and say what you mean. I got another quote for you now though 😂😂 "Words are powerful. Either you don't...
Thank you for that; I really appreciate it. And I love a good snoop ;) But really though, thank you. It’s great to know that there are still people out there who value sincerity and authenticity, who...
I just saw your post on softmaledom which led me to snoop your profile. On one of your posts you mention how you dislike the disposable culture so I thought I’d share my all time favorite quote with y...

I think either way they’re both coping mechanisms. Toxic positivity is usually a response to that person not being able to allow themselves to feel their emotions, whereas toxic negativity is like a s...
This post just gave me a whole new perspective. I’ve spent most of my life just powering through presentations and on-camera interviews. Now I get why I get the occasional “you’re so brave” or a firm ...
One of the best ways to manage a fear of something you want to do, is to do the thing afraid. Relationships are a series of moments of uncertainty, and being vulnerable in those moments of uncertaint...
