Man, I know the struggle. I’m 30 too, and I’ve been stuttering for as long as I can remember. This damn thing sucks the joy out of life and out of being around people. But as you get older, you get wiser and you learn how to handle it better. I also wanted to drop out of college; I also couldn't order anything in a shop; I also had trouble with relationships. But there’s something more important than everyone else: You. You have your own value, and the fact that you have it ten times harder than others but you’re still pushing through says it all. I still have days where I can't say a fucking word or get a sentence out, and I work as a paramedic. I’ve been to therapies too—they helped a bit, but only for a short while. The most important thing is to just not give a shit. Stay strong and don’t give up
