I feel the same too. I couldn’t express my feelings without being berated, I couldn’t get what I wanted because what I want is always wrong in my parents eyes. Even now I’m often second guessing what I want, I hesitate to buy stuff for myself, I don’t open up easily to people, etc. I actually got to choose my college major, it’s so ironic because I studied and now work in the creative field, it is all about expressing yourself, now I felt like my whole career choice and the source of my creativity is the result of the root of my stutter—the need to express and say something.
