I completely agree. But it's hard to intellectually acknowledge that fact and then putting it into practice. I know that people don't care as much as I do about my stutter. I know that when I introduce myself and it doesn't come out, people don't really think too much about it. But still, I can't seem to get my brain to stop going into overdrive every time I'm in public. I know that if I could take a magic pill that would just get rid of all of this anxiety and these self-esteem issues without getting rid of the stutter, I'd be a much happier person.
