Pretty good conversation starter. Not that I often want conversation. People are generally really interested in my stutter and sympathetic towards me, which gives me hope for humanity. More importantly, it has taught me to not take anything for granted. So many people just can introduce themselves whenever or can speak in class whenever. They don't understand that it isn't easy for everybody. Now I know what that feels like and I can be more empathetic towards others.
