Alright man, I'll try to address each of your questions seperately so it's easy for you to read. * "how and when did you get a stutter and how many years do you live with that ": I've been stammering ever since I could talk and I was kinda just born with it. Coincidentally, I'm also 17 so I've been dealing with this for a long time * "do you also think about your stutter every day, and every hour and do you feel bad because of it": When I was younger, I did think about it and feel self-conscious about it quite often. However, the older I get, the less I think about it, I think the reason for this is that as I progress through life, I just get more confidence which makes me feel more comfortable with my stammer. A valuable lesson I learnt regarding this is that there are certain things about me like my stammer that I will have to accept and embrace as a part of myself, I so might as well be comfortable with it * " do you have a feeling that when you are about to talk with someone, you already have feeling that you will not be able to say anything just because you have that weird feeling in your thorax": I definitely have this feeling at times. To me, it feels like having something stuck in my throat that preventing me from getting my words out. I hate this feeling but sometimes if it's something important I just have to push through it to talk even though I know I will stammer. * "can you please tell me about your straggling with stutter and how do you cope with it,": I think my struggles is quite common among stammerers. At times I can't get my point across and at times I feel like an absolute fool. My advice for you is that if you have concluded that your stammer is not going to change, just accept it as it is. Like other guys my age, I have close friends who casually makes fun of my stammer, when this happens, I don't feel ashamed of it and I just try to appreciate the joke and laugh with them. I'm the president of my school's student council which means I have to talk in front of people a lot, when I stammer in front of a large group of people and they starts laughing at me, I try me best to brush it off as i know i have important points to convey. Let me know if you have any more questions man, it's always nice to help someone who's in the same boat as me.
