I was born with a very severe speech impediment and stutter; it is part of who I am even when I wasn’t who I am now. There isn’t a time when it wasn’t a part of my life. I don’t notice at all when I stutter %99 of the time. At all. I can’t hear it out loud when I speak, I can’t feel it at all. It seems to me as I am talking perfectly. For example, I asked a question during a seminar. Everybody mentioned about how much I stuttered (douche thing I know), but I didn’t know AT ALL I did. It’s really strange to explain. I’ve always known I’ve had it, but never heard it much. I do hear it on occasion when it is especially bad or out of the ordinary, however.
