I speak for myself when I say that my stutter is not normal. Its on the severe side. But yes I have spent a long time fighting it and myself. I've never lived anything other than a normal life. Girlfriends come and go, I've had good jobs before college, now i'm in college lol I feel like the worst possible thing for a stutterer would be letting it hold you back from life things. Don't get me wrong, there are huge pieces of anxiety that go along with the normality. Like, "she won't like me because i'm broke off the shelf" or 'they won't hire me because the ad says excellent communication skills needed" or how painful it is to introduce myself to class.
