Do other stutterers enjoy writing more and feel like through writing they can be their true selves? The written word is a stutterer's best friend. When I'm writing, I can just let my mind flow. No worrying about the next word I'm gonna block on, no word substitutions, no awkward pauses, I have the freedom to just say whatever my mind comes up with. For a stutterer, writing equals freedom. And Reddit (or just the internet in general) is definitely a stutterer's best friend.
