Hi there, I have been stuttering since I was a child (not genetically, at least from my first-degree family), It did not add any thing *positively* to my life, it just destroyed it, I left the school (because it was impossible to communicate with others), so I had to give up my dream job (to join the army, in my country I must have a degree to enter the army, in fact I had to give up many things, not just this), I had to be an introvert, oh man .. I can hardly say anything intelligible, so now studying programming (my last hope, that I can work remotely to avoid communicate with others) I actually like programming but it wasn't my dream when I was a child (I didn't know about it).
