It definitely affects one’s personality and overall daily life and daily interactions,i myself i has stuttering since childhood, and it has affected my life in pretty much every aspects, may it be relationships with friends family, basic communication, everyday tasks became difficult and stressful, it’s the stress and anxiety which affects you everyday and you have to deal with it everyday that’s the worst. It’s like you are never free or can never be free, always there is this thought that i will stutter, what if i stutter, about people reactions their thoughts about you, how to say this without stuttering and all of this is just so much mentally exhausting it takes away the joy of living normally and you definitely can’t feel like you are normal human being with all this. One thing it has changed for good is how i look at the world and how i can see other people and view their problems and have deeper understanding about it, Stuttering definitely Makes you more humble and accepting of other people flaws and their problems and that’s something positive i gained from it. I hope people can relate to it.
