biggest problem about stuttering I've noticed that the stutter itself is obviously very annoying and hard to deal with, but it's not my biggest problem with it. The deal really is that you cannot fully express yourself as you want and that feels 10 times worse than the stutter itself. You have something interesting to say but you are doubting whether to tell it because of your stutter. Or when you want to tell a funny joke. It's extremely restricting. I often hear people say that freedom of speech is really important and it is but we never have real freedom of speech
