I'm definitely guilty of making decisions based on my stutter but I also know it's the *view* of stuttering that's the problem and not the stuttering itself. I see you mentioned you were 20 (21 here). I think it's much better to be able to think about this problem and start working on a solution now, than it is to let stuttering have an effect on life and look back wishing you'd acted differently. Imagine you could click your fingers and have all shame, embarrassment, nerves, fear or anxiety related to stuttering, disappear **completely**. The stutter would still exist, but any thoughts/feelings you had about it would not. I'd bet from that point on what you thought was your stutter wouldn't have any impact on your achievements in life. There's *virtually nothing* it would have a practical impact on. Perhaps there are some jobs that demand the ability to speak very quickly on time that might not be possible, but beyond that the obstacle is all in our heads. The good news is attitude is something that definitely can be changed. I agree with /u/Steelspy here. So do you want to let the stutter win?
