I like to think that my stutter-induced superpowers are increased mental capacity and psychological resilience. The amount of mental work I have to do in order to speak fluently is staggering compared to a regular speaker. This makes all the other mentally draining tasks, like studying, seem easy and much more enjoyable to me. Also, having this socially intrusive disorder that is variable gives me better insight into how our feelings and emotions are pushing us to certain behaviors but ultimately these are subservient to our higher level thoughts that can control the whole narrative and shape the perceived reality to our preference.
