(M, 15) I'm kinda introverted as a person, and I still have a slight stutter. Instead of stuttering, I substitute 'stutter words' (words with certain syllables such as 's', 'd', 't' etc.) with other words which are easier to say, or arrange my order of speaking, for example when I say 'I like strawberries and apples' and I feel that I will block/stutter on the word 'strawberries', I will say 'I like apples and strawberries', and for me that kinda makes things easier. But to be fair, blocks and stutters come out of nowhere, and sometimes when I'm very nervous (speeches and presentations), I stutter/block like crazy, and usually people start laughing at me, and of course I feel bad about it. But through my in-born stutter, I'm have been developing a thick skin on not to give a damn on what others say. I'm still not immune to external/internal remarks, but I think I'm developing it through stuttering, and I think that's a good thing.
