This is what I struggle with - how do you deal with the trigger of not being understood/misrepresenting yourself? I think for me that’s a big hurdle. You seem like an intelligent person - how do you reconcile being perceived as ineloquent or of low intelligence? I want to be liberated from others opinions but where do you root your self-worth when the things you value about yourself are almost always unseen or misunderstood by others? Having a stammer feels like living in a constantly changing storm, you can never relax. Where do you root your sense of self?
