Wow, it sounds like you are a good place of acceptance in your journey. And at such a young age. When I was your age, I was basically perfecting my stealth hiding techniques. I was a master avoider - and hardly ever spoke. People thought I was either incredibly shy and quiet or just very standoffish. I was neither. But just terrified of being discovered and therefore judged as a person who stutters. I wasted so much time and energy on trying not to impose my stuttered speech on others. Now I don’t give a crap as much anymore. And I’ve never felt more liberated. Thanks for sharing.
