Exactly. When I was a kid I was really depressed about my stutter among other things. As I have gotten older and especially at my current job I have come to realize that my stutter has made me who I am. If I had never developed a stutter or if it eventually went away, like asthma occasionally will go away in kids as they get older, then I wouldn’t be who I am today. It has made me understand people at a whole new level. For instance, the people who wait for me to finish talking are the ones who are worth being around versus the ones who find an excuse to walk away. I have lost many friends this way. People who I thought were good friends.
