I relate to this 100000%. Like I know I would be a lot farther in life if I didn’t stutter. My stutter holds me back from so much. My professors in college would pull me aside and tell me that I write academic papers so eloquently, they always wondered why I never spoke up in class. My participation grade was sh*t in those classes because I never spoke up. I was too shame. I also believe that my nervous system is shot, and it def impacts my speech. I know I’m capable of great things, as I’m sure you are as well. It just sucks having this take over our lives. Take care ❤️
