My Personality Do you feel like since having a speech disorder that doesn't enable you to express yourself to your maximum potential, affects how much of your personality you can display? Not to blow my own trumpet lol, I belive I have been blessed with personality. I am funny, eccentric and can tell a story very well. However, my stutter doesn't allow me to show this to others. Bizarrely, most people including family percieve me as quiet, shy and not interested in socialising. That is far from the truth... I love people, I love to laugh and have great conversation. However, its just difficult to express myself in words. I often cut stories short and only speak when spoken too. I'm almost 24 (M) and desperate to make friends, it gets harder with age! I've only really started to realise that I'm not how others perceive me, I actually have good traits but sadly, my stammer limits me and I can't express my true self. How does someone like me make friends in this position. I'm thinking I'm going through a quater life crisis lool. I missed out on having friends since adulthood started. I really want to build friendships and create good memories. I'm done being introverted and friendless. Life is way to short.
