Honestly, i dont think there are any positives of stuttering that I could tell you. But personally, its also a part of who I am right now. I have lived a good enough life by my standards and this wouldnt have been possible without my stutter impacting my social life and making me into an introvert and all of this played into me discovering a lot of cool things and shaping who i am. Do I hate stuttering? yes i do, it has embarassed me so many times i have lost count. This is probably stupid but I just wanted to put it out there, of course I suffer but there are other things in life that I do enjoy a lot which who knows if it would have been possible if my life didnt play out as it did, could have been worse or could have been better but its okay, it is what it is for me, i accept it, it is okay, i choose to live on the brighter side. To be very honest, my stutter is probably fueled by social anxiety which in turn fuels my stutter(stutter was first i would say that kick started the cycle when i was a kid). But I have been working on it constantly and does slowly seem to get better but I am just not there yet. I do understand there are various kinds of stutters caused by different things and some of them cant be fixed(?) but I just wanted to get it out of my chest and put it out there thats all, not sure if its any helpful at all, sorry.
