My stutter is what defines me as a person. I speak differently to others and it doesn't stop me from living my life to the fullest. In the past I have been adversely affected by my stutter but at the moment, I feel like I'm on an upwards slope. The more I talk and practice, the better I can control my stutter. I can see myself overcoming it by going out of my comfort zone, being myself and sharing my thoughts with others rather than holding back and being quiet, even though I stutter. It is not a bad thing, it is not the end of the world because no one is perfect and I really mean this. I don't let morons get under my skin if they pull weird faces, laugh or make stupid ass comments about my stutter, they just aren't worth talking to. People genuinely care and want to listen to what you have to say, no matter what anyone tells you or any of your stigmas make you believe to be true. Those are the people you should speak to and give them the same respect that they give you in return. You are in control of your body and your nervous system which allows you to use all your senses and move your arms and legs and most importantly, talking. It is also managed by only one person, you. The way you speak is the way you choose to. You can either work on your stutter or not work on it. It all comes down to you, that is the most important aspect. Overcoming your stutter is very similar to mastering a skill such as programming or playing soccer. The more you practice, the better you get better at it, in this case, overcoming and being in control of your stutter. I know this has been a long post and some of you will have seen me say similar things in other posts but I believe that anyone who reads this can take something away from it and leave themselves in a positive limelight for the future in terms of their stutter. I also like to write on the internet a lot because I find it hard to portray what I want to say in real life and have become quite good at as you can see :P
