haha, so much to unpack here — 1. I’m 26F 2. yes! I do have a social life — my friends accept me for who I am & I found a partner who loves me unconditionally (never finishes my sentence or anything). but I don’t go out to clubs or partying. not my thing. 3. I’ve been told many, MANY times that I’m a cool person. I don’t think my stutter gets in the way of that, my character speaks for itself, but rather other goals. but this is a mindset I need to grow out of. need to give speech therapy another shot eventually. 4. I have no idea how I do it either. it really, really sucks. but it is what it is & I’ve been dealing with it for over 20 years. I don’t want people to feel bad for me! I mean it is what it is & it was given to me for a reason. can’t look at it any other way or else I’ll get hopeless & mad haha.
