I did not stutter until 17 years old, when I met a boy who stuttered who was very outgoing and charming. I had a crush on him. However, because I was so ungainly at that time (usually dressed like a boy), he didn't have any feeling for me and rejected me. It was soul-crushing for a teenager girl and as a result, I suddenly developed a stutter (not sure if it was out of my admiration for him or because of my distress) that persisted to today which made me suffer so much and undergo many painful moments like most of you here could probably relate to. Well, it's not a happy story but you see how a stutterer like my childhood crush can be so chrismatic and popular. Honestly as a non-stutterer at that time, I didn't notice his stutter for most of the time. And when I did notice it, it seemed cute and funny to me, not annoying at all. His stutter didn't seem to prevent him from expressing his thoughts either.
