An eternal struggle 31 yr old male who stutters, I'm a lawyer, well educated but always not taking credit for my achievement and subconsciously feel that my success has been from people filling pity for me. I have 7 years experience in my field but still working at a low end job with crappy pay, Felt like my stuttering has always held me back career wise, all my friends are excelling in life. But since I'm afraid if taking risks i don't wanna take up managing roles fearing i would stutter. I know I'm smart, but this lowself esteem and inability to convey my thoughts is really demoralising. I am very introverted ( to the point it's becoming a problem now), difficult naking friendship with coworkers. No social life, I feel my life is slipping away. I don't even know if i want to a lawyer anymore. All my fire and passion as kid i feel is fading away. I just want all this to be over. I wish i could have a stuttering buddy, someone you share with these crappy experiences and give you hope cause people can be really assholes sometimes. I've never posted anywhere. This is the first time but it feels good finally to vent somewhere people can relate. I'm from africa, so stuttering awareness is really low. Thank you for reading this.
