I tell you bro. I have had a stutter since I was around 9 y/o. Since I have started working it’s gotten better but recently I noticed it getting worse at times. I make weird sounds and blink a lot when I stutter. People tell me they don’t even notice anymore which helps with my self-esteem a lot. There are good days and bad days and you just need to focus on the good. I’m 26 now and I don’t want to ever meet the non-stuttering me. My stutter has made me into the person I am today. It has taught me patience with others and to be kind among other things. Hang in there and message me if you need a friend. Edit to add I have always hated it when people finish my sentences. Maybe it’s different for you but it always made me feel like I was not worth their time. That the only way was for them to talk for me.
