I've made this comment before on this sub, but I truly believe that us folks with stutters are generally much more intelligent than the average person (emotionally as well). I believe this stems from the years of internal dialogue, self-analysis and our heightened level of awareness given our environments. We NEED to compensate for our lack of speech through other faucets and areas of life. For instance, I had never really had to try and have always Aced all of my written assignments throughout university. Through writing, I was given a medium to release the enhanced and observant thoughts dancing in my head onto paper. No stutter would hold me back from achieving success and my ideas were expressed with the utmost desire and detail with no form of suppression. I'm not trying to gloat here or say I'm some Godly writer, but relative to most people, I was always ahead in that aspect. ​ Directing back to your question, of course. I'm in my early twenties pursuing a career in Management. In big corporations and the business world, your ability to converse, sell and build rapport is what warrants success. I get frustrated as hell thinking about the great ideas I could not express in certain situations. I avoid asking questions in meetings or throwing out situations sometimes because I know I will block. How could this not be frustrating? But when it comes to exchange emails, write reports and perform my duties at work - It is clear to everyone that I am on top of my shit. I guess my advice is that you really need to hone in on your strengths and not focus so much on your weaknesses. ​ If you have a passion for acting, don't feel the need to become the Actor. Become the screenplay writer, director, producer. Pursue your interest through other avenues. If you truly have a passion for something, find a way to immerse yourself in the scope of it, even if it not directly what you think you want. You never know what else may interest you. ​ Cheers. ​ ​
