Back in highschool, I used to run away from my stuttering. I'm always disgusted when people see me struggle when speaking, and to be honest sometimes I still feel this. But then I slowly learn to accept it. I see myself as a unique feature that makes me different to everyone. Like tbh, I think my stuttering helps me be more intuitive, sensitive, and empathic with other people. And I also like how people point out that I'm really good with understanding and connecting people compared to others. Bcs of my stutter I've learned to be good at listening well and knowing the right words to say (my first reason is to avoid unnecessary words that will make me speaking longer, but it turned out even better since all my words are well thought of.) In short, I find it unique. Yes there are times it's still difficult but I slowly learn to really love that side of me. Also I recommend you to watch The King's Speech! That movie really helps me! 💯
