Let me set this straight, right here, right now - you should never ever feel lesser because you stutter. The impediment that we all share should never define us. Yes, we are stutterers and only we understand the pain and the feeling of inadequacy that it causes. Not being able to speak our mind is the worst form of punishment. I hated myself for it. I hated not being able to speak. It made me have no self-confidence. It made me shy, introvert and restrained. But then I realized that stuttering is not something that defines me. Yes, I'm a stutterer, but first and foremost I am a human being. My stutter does not (and should not) devalue what I have to say. It might take me a few seconds (or minutes) more sometimes, but I will still say it, dammit! I'm happy that your stuttering is improving. I hope it goes away completely. I don't post here often, but if you ever need help, we'll all still be around. :)
