The biggest thing is just how exhausting it is. I'd probably be an extrovert if I didn't stutter. I love people, but I just hate social interactions. I'm just so sick of stressing out about EVERY SINGLE social interaction. I'm 27 now, and I think the biggest thing is to just find some sort of hope, some positive thought and hold on to it. That's way harder than it sounds and it's a daily struggle. For me right now, my hope is just that my stutter won't affect my career significantly and that I'll be able to find a girl who doesn't have a problem being with me and my stutter and who can handle all the baggage that comes along with a stutter. Life is long, so hopefully that day will come? I don't know. I also look to people like Joe Biden who says he still lives with a stutter yet manages to give speeches all the time.
