I think about it pretty often. I think i would be quiet even without a stutter. I've had a stutter since i was 6-7 years old, it got a bit better over the years and now it's a mild one. I rarely stutter properly, i mostly hesitate or make pauses like "umms" and such to hide blocks. I don't like to talk for nothing and i tend to just talk mostly when it's needed. I actually like the fact that i'm a quiet type, most people just move their mouths for nothing and i hate that, not because i have a stutter and i can't do it as carelessly as they do it, but because i don't like it. I'm also the type of person that has VERY little patience, and stutter helps with that, makes me hesitate a bit before speaking...so stutter also brings good things sometimes. I feel like i would be *much* more of a douchebag without it. In a way, i feel like i've become a better person because of my stutter, more caring and kind, and more mature i think...I've always been more mature than most of my friends since elementary school, i guess my stutter made me this way and i'm kind of glad for it (not so glad about the anxiety, stress, and lack of self esteem that stutter also brings, but whatever). Thing is, my stutter isn't too serious and i managed to make it better over the years but it's like my mind and thoughts just pull me down every time. I know i can do stuff and say what i want to say, but it's like i'm always fighting with myself. **The fear of stuttering is what stuttering really is**, if i could just get rid of the stress that comes from trying to hide my stutter, if i could just silence my thoughts and fear of blocks and just talk, then it would all go without problems, but i guess that's the hard part of it all.
