To be honest, i did some deep thinking some time ago and i came to the conclusion that my stutter is responsible for who i am, my character was shaped with stutter, i would have been a completely different person if i could speak normally. I wouldnt have anxiety, i wouldnt be scared of other people. Everyone judges me by my stutter. Sometimes i feel like my classmates treat me like a disabled person - they never comment on my stutter, they just sit there and try not to look at me or hear me trying to say something. Stutter ruined my social life, i am naturally an extrovertic person but i just cant be like that because i cant speak like a normal person
