I’m the same way. I’m witty and often I can’t express that. Luckily I have friends that know I’m quite witty but I’d be able to be so much more myself without this damn stutter lol. What’s helped me though is opening up about my stutter to my friends, and realising it’s a part of me. And that’s okay. Without it I maybe wouldn’t have the compassion I would have you know? It sucks sometimes but you’ve got this. The people who love you will accept you, all of you. Remember that when it gets tough friend. You’re not alone either, so many of us feel the same way and I’m for one am right there with you 🤞
