Stuttering, Being Misunderstood and Feeling Stupid

Stuttering, Being Misunderstood and Feeling Stupid This is something that bothers me probably above all else when it comes to my personal stutter. In a dinner table discussion or a social disagreement, I feel I'm simply unable to communicate all that I would like to, in the way I would like to. For others, it's easy for them to rant for minutes at a time about their life and their perspectives in details to a point that they feel heard and understood. This process actually removes a burden from their psyche in the sense that that they can fully express their thoughts and feelings. For me I feel there's so much left on the table and unsaid when I get into discussions with others sometimes. Because of this, when responding to someone who has just emoted fully, I'm able to say only what I'm able to say, which at times is damn limited. My deeper concern is that the person I'm speaking to doesn't realize that I actually have MUCH more to add to the conversation, and assumes I'm just not clever or intelligent enough to chime in, in a way that's expressive and interesting. It feels largely unfair.
