Felt this to my core, I can definitely light up a room, but depending on situation and my mental state at the time will determine how well I do. The second I stutter; I become self conscious and probably starting be chill. A block is the fucking worst because you’re being charismatic and then bam a block, and God willing, please don’t make a face on this block. Because I will try to force through the block sometimes and make it seem like it’s normal or an oops. If I do make a face during block my entire self esteem suffers and I become very self aware and conscious about things. My true and full personality is definitely hidden behind this stutter. I often believe, I would have been someone else or more successful in all aspects of life without the stutter. But to be honest, I fair just fine. If I wasn’t for the stutter, I might be a shitty ass person who knows. But my stutter makes me who I am, makes me a good person because I treat others the way I want to be treated. I’ve come to terms with it all and it has helped. The older you get, the better it seems to get. At least in my case.
