To what extent stutter define you? Ever since I’ve been working on my speech (in one way or another) I was reminded by people that “stutter doesn’t define me” and so on. I could never truly correspond to that statement as it seems it can define my opinions, it changed the way I see things and it can definitely give me some bad and good times. But most of all, I feel like I’m not sure I don’t know myself very well. I’m not sure who am I without the stutter. I have friends and all, but when I’m having periods of severe stutter hanging out is just not that enjoyable (despite the acceptance of my friends). For that reason I’m not sure if I’d be an extrovert without the stutter or I’d be willing to hang out just as much as I am right now. Would I like speaking on the phone? Would I like to work in an environment with a lot of (public) speaking? I’m just curious if anyone had similar thoughts?
