I feel like I messed up in college and allowed my stutter to keep me from being more active, but I don't think it was the ultimate reason I didn't finish. I now have a job that pays well and forces me to say things that I have a hard time with. Although it bothers me at times, I remind myself that it really doesn't matter. Nobody really cares if I'm trying to convey information to them and have a hard time getting a word out, sometimes a really hard time, I'm the only one who cares. I'm also run a food truck on the side with my gf and we're in the process of making it a restaurant. This has forced me to talk to people about construction, permits, and meetings. I stutter all the time and still, nobody cares but me. So the only real problem is that I care. When I stop caring, there won't be a problem. But at least for now, it's comforting to know that nobody cares but me.
