1. Pretty normal. Frustrating at times but I don't feel like it's ruining my life or anything. 2. Yeah, it has it's ups and downs. It used to be much worse a few years ago and recently it got much better because I got more confident. It has gotten much worse though in the past 2 weeks because of the stress from the war (I'm from Israel). 3. At first my family weren't very patient or helpful about it because they just didn't really understand it. Now they're pretty patient about it. My friends were always patient and supportive. 4. I don't think it have, really. It does make me very unconfident about my future but that's about it. 5. Kinda. It's a very big part of me so it's pretty hard to ignore but it's not really a part of my personality or anything. 6. Just how to act when you talk to a person with a stutter. Keep eye contact, don't interrupt, be patient etc.
