My stutter is annoying but I kind of like it in a way I feel like my stutter helps me make friends that are more genuine. Like if someone actually wants to be friends with me I know that they don't care about my stutter and it makes me feel more intimate with them. I feel like throughout my life most of the people I've been close with (which hasn't been many) have been genuinely kind and loyal people. I notice that assholes just don't want to be friends with me, which I'm not complaining about. Idk I feel like I can use my stutter as a way to filter people out. I like to know that people truly care about and love me for me.
