I resonate with just about every point on that list. The iceberg of stuttering, very few people(and unfortunately that often includes those around us who really should know better) realise how far reaching and debilitating a stutter can be for an individual. My stutter has put a big full stop rock in my development as a person, it's made personal and social growth slow down to a snails pace. It's tremendously frustrating, least of all that in the eyes of those around you you don't have a problem, which makes things exponentially harder - how do you solve an issue if there is no issue in the first place, which screws with your head when you least need it. My family has always treated the challenges I've faced being a stutterer like a mild irritation, oh but you don't stutter so badly, just speak slowly.. granted I don't have a relationship of any depth with any of them and never have, which in of itself is part and parcel of why I stutter.
