One of my biggest regrets is allowing it to control me all my life. I feel like im an extrovert that learned to be an introvert out of fear of stuttering. It saddens me thinking about how much different my life could be if I didn’t allow my fear of stuttering to control me :( And I don’t even know where to begin to try and heal from the problems my fear has caused. I’m trying though. If you’re younger and have a stutter, please try and not let the fear fester. Learn to accept that you stutter, but don’t cater to it like I did.
