Yeah, I've thought about this question a lot. Who would I have been and what could I have achieved if I didn't stutter? For sure it has inhibited me in my social life and I think we all remember some moments when we didn't approach this person or didn't initiate that conversation because of shame and fear. And how many times did I bite my tongue in school? In the end most things turn out ok, but wouldn't I be a much more charismatic and positive person? Charisma and confidence is the magnetic thing that gets you jobs, friends and relationships. I realized that people often feel uncomfortable when I stutter and therefore would avoid interacting with me. So I feel like I have to make an extra effort in being nice and engaging in order to get them interested in me. All that said I do believe though that we stutteres are better at communication than most people. Because we are so sensitized to the subleties of conversation. And we actually listen and process and think about what we say!
