I would really like to see if there is cure for it. But, coming to me, I have lived all my conscious life with stuttering. It made me the person who I am today. As you said, I don't know if I would the same person if I loose it. It is a part of my identity. I agree with many others that this stutter has made me missed many opportunities. I'm a single 24 year old and I still have the prejudice that I don't know if a woman would choose me. Deep inside I know that this won't matter but there is always an inhibition. But, this stuttering has also added many characters traits to me which I am proud of. I have grown compassion towards others, I empathise with people's feelings, I give more tries to understand others perspective, I have grown strong to criticism/bullying/teasing. There are so many emotions in me which I believe are due to my experiences with the stuttering. I want to greet people, introduce myself, initiate conversation, use a few words clearly when required, which I know isn't going to be easy with stuttering. I have learned to be more strong and still trying to inculcate to keep trying. I may sound confused and not all would agree with me. This stuttering is part of me and I don't know if I would ever be able to loose it. But, as I said, I would love to see if there would be cure for it.
