I always have this ongoing joke among friends and family that my good looks are God’s apology for giving me a severe stutter. I do believe this privilege exists, since I’ve never really struggled making friends or dating (dating maybe, but due to lack of confidence, because I do receive attention from women). Still, this privilege means nothing if you don’t take advantage of it and put yourself out there everyday, in social gatherings, in meeting new people, in doing things you want to do without being afraid of your speech.
