Stuttering has made me a better person because it has given me a kind of empathy for people going through hardship that many seem to lack nowadays, it has forced me to be a better listener and I literally get people who barely know me to tell me their whole life stories because the feel like I really care. Stuttering has allowed me to become one of those rare, genuine individuals who actually listens to others, and can truly feel for them even if they are acquaintances.
