Yea man dont be to down, I stutter and have stuttered since I could talk and it definitely sucks it was MUCH worse for me when I was younger I wouldn't even want to talk and I'm a really outgoing person but the older I get the more i tell myself to slow down and just let the words flow or at least try to flow lol I'm in the Coast Guard as a flight engineer and it can be extremely stressful being a stutterer because you cant stutter when you're on a flight talking to traffic control or the pilots, when I first started I would get so nervous I'd become cold and clammy but you just have to try and remain calm to help other people stay calm, you got this man like the other people on here have said dont let your stutter define you my whole life I've told people if I didn't stutter I really feel I could become the POTUS just because I would have so much confidence in myself and could do anything but at the job and position I have now I've learned you can literally do ANYTHING you put your mind to even if you do stutter.
