Im a 23 year old man who has a stutter Its been a long time since ive talked about my stutter but here's my experience/story Im 23 years old and have a twin brother. He does not have a stutter. He is the only person who i talk to indepth about me having one, but he truly doesn't understand what it is/like. Im posting to this reddit because I would like to talk to other stutterers. I live in Wyoming and the county I'm from doesn't have any speech therapist. Its been like that my whole life. Im a small business owner (home renovation/interior design) and find it hard to talk to my clients or potential clients. The embarrassment, at times, is shattering. My stutter is the worst when i have to start a sentence with a vowel or answer a question. It's especially bad when I have to say my name. It's Ethan and it's been years since ive said my name fluently or without anxiety. I go by my middle name now because it's easier for me to say. I want to talk to people like me. I never have. I'm tired of hiding in the shadows. I'm tired of the embarrassment. I want to hear the experience of others who have a stutter.. Its taken me 23 years to shed my ego. To except what makes me, me. My name is Ethan and I am tired of being afraid of this.
