How much of an impact has stuttering had on your life?

How much of an impact has stuttering had on your life? I have always tried to work past it and move along but I cant help to notice how much it's debiliated my life. I think of all the conversations I have wanted to have but never did. All the ways conversations I did have would of went and how much differently people would of viewed me. I think of the connections I either lost or couldn't make because of it. All the potential memories lost, friends lost, job oppurtunities lost, and feelings lost.
