How do you live a fulfilling life as a stutterer? Just to preface, I think I have a pretty good life. I have a supporting family, live in a safe environment, and have enough friends that care about me. However, I can’t ever shake the feeling that I should be doing more or something different with my life. I just recently turned 20, so maybe that’s pretty common for a person my age, but I’m not working towards or building anything in my life. I tried the whole college route, but it felt like a waste of time for someone like me who has no clue what to do with their life. Giving energy towards something is already hard enough while managing a stutter. I dream often about having a family one day, but I have no idea how to become the man that I want to be, especially with all the hurdles with stuttering. I’m just tired of wasting opportunists because of my speech, I want to live my life to its fullest.
