Even though that other comment got nasty towards then end, I see some truth in it for myself: If I didn’t stutter, or at least if I didn’t let It hold me back, I would definitely be more outgoing and talk to more people and go to more parties and events. The emphasis for me is on more. I know I’m an introvert. Sometimes when I think about talking to people It’s the fear of stuttering and taking forever to speak that holds me back, but other times I can tell i just don’t really want to. Not out of fear, but i just don’t feel like interacting with others sometimes. But all in all, learning to stop our stutter from holding us back would help all of us. So let’s learn!
