Sarah, Great! You value "being a caring person." That is a great value to have. Can I ask, does being a caring person involve caring for others and yourself? I would bet it does, and that is a wonderful value. You asked where I was going with other people becoming "comfortable with stuttering." Where I was going is as people get more information (education) about stuttering, and as we advocate more for ourselves(our communications rights) people become less ignorant and become more comfortable with an unknown, like stuttering. Human nature is we fear the unknown, right? Fear causes uncomfortable feelings and behaviors. With more education the unknown becomes, known! Less fear, more comfort. Does that make sense? Thanks Sarah. Have a good day! Scott
