That’s so true. But I think it all comes back to how we carry ourselves. I read somewhere else in this community of someone who said that stuttering didn’t define or change the tone of the various points he had to make at work or in life, etc. Was a very interesting mindset. In my life, if I stutter I instantly feel inferior, especially around fluent men, as I am female (23). So I have to consciously remind myself that my opinion is still valid even though I couldn’t get it across fluently. Still sucks sometimes though. Having to be strong for your speech. Not gonna lie.
