Everything in life has good and bad points. Yes, stuttering is often a pain in the butt that causes frustration and angst. But it also has advantages. My past partners have been attracted to me partly because of my stutter, my career was boosted, and much, much more. We need to focus on ourselves as unique individuals whose life experiences has given us each unique perspectives and combinations of skills. There are too many people who seem to think they need to conform to some fictional ideal human. The perfect person doesn't exist. We're all flawed and awesome in our own special, unique ways. We each need to capitalize on our combinations of talents that have been shaped by what some would call flaws. Stop trying to be someone you are not and enjoy the real you.
