I've had my stutter since I was 5.went to speech therapy from kindergarten all the way to 8th grade. It definitely shaped me, but instead of being an introverted, shy man. I took my stutter and ran with it. I was bullied when I was a yougin, but as I got older, I learned to pick on myself and make light of what I have. My stutter, I can't say, really stopped me from much. I've always had girlfriends and friends. I'm doing my dream career, which is welding. It's hard for me to see these posts about others who have such a hard time with their stutter. What matters is the way you view your stutter, not the rest of the world. Only one person stops you from your dreams, and that's yourself. Stay blessed, yall.
