I’ve had a stutter my entire life and even though it’s not super severe in general, it can get worst and better like a rollercoaster which other people go through also from reading some of the other comments in this subreddit. I’ve thought about this a lot in the past since I assume you will tend to spend a lot more time by your self if you have a stutter, I know I do and it gives me alot of time to think about everything. The way I kind of began to see this is we all take everything for granted, even walking for example we all take for granted until it’s us that have to go through the unfortunate situation, so I stopped getting so annoyed at this with other people since I use to. I’ve always looked at it like if you don’t let the stutter define or control you, it can make you more aware and a better person than alot of people probably would be. I’m not saying it’s not a hard thing to live with and a lot of things will be harder for you than others probably, and if I could get rid of my stutter, I’m sure everyone would say yes to that, but this is the life we have but there are loads of things we can still do. I don’t want to sound like one of these corny inspirational people, but it’s the truth, don’t let it define you or control you.
