God I think about this all the time. I feel like I was born a natural leader, outgoing and outspoken and I would have made an excellent motivational speaker of some sort, or just would have done something involving teaching or communicating. But I realized pretty early on that I wouldn't be able to do that. I know everyone says "you're letting your stutter hold you back" but no I literally can't speak even close to fluently in front of people. Like it just wouldn't be feasible to be a tour guide or a professor. I don't get that sad about it anymore..it is what it is
