> I know things are bad and alot of things won't change. I'm not blindly positive. I am pretty realistic and I know certain things are impossible. I know what the statistics are and they say ill probably always fail. But I'll try anyways. I can either run from adversity or face it. Even hoping for the best, numbing yourself to failure as a learning experience and going in with that mindset is a game changer. And of course there is only so much I can humanly speculate and predict what I can or cannot do. There will ALWAYS be a probabilty and chance of success. And that uncertainty and challenge excites me. >pretending to be able to do anything with a speech impediment is a pitiful joke I mean its just a stutter. Ive seen people who deal with real shit like lost limbs or severe deformities living happier and more fulfilled lives. Ours isnt even that bad(I am assuming yours is as bad as most peoples on here). It just makes things a bit frustrating. Our fear is so magnified by our shitty past experiences that we can blow it out of proportion and forget that there is so much more to our personalities then a stutter. There is alot we can do to compensate, work around it or improve other aspects of our lives. Look at OP as an example. Also, here are some opinions of non stutterers on people who stutter. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/30cqu7/serious_people_of_reddit_do_you_know_anyone_who/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/3bdk0o/how_to_approach_women_with_a_stutter/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AskWomen/comments/1yfzmx/is_a_stutter_a_turnoff/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/35884t/i_interviewed_someone_today_who_had_control_of_a/ ALSO THIS MOTIVATING FUCKER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwZZZkrJycQ https://www.buzzfeed.com/alanwhite/heres-what-its-like-when-everyone-thinks-your-girlfriend-is?utm_term=.xnpeONKj1#.wvZWd7e3b
