To me my stutter feels like it prevents me from really expressing myself and saying exactly what I want to say, instead I will say words in a sentence in which I know I don't struggle with in order to get my point across. In terms of how it's affected my life, people who I meet for the first time consider me as quiet or shy which is far from who I am underneath my stammer, I often feel like I am trapped under my stammer because I can't express myself vocally in how I truly feel. I add fillers in sentences such as "errmm" half way through saying something to make it easier getting a word out that I struggle with.
