Speaking only for myself, stuttering has not really made me a better person. I am kinda over sensitive and take criticism very poorly. I have to actively rethink every criticism so that I can make the best of it. I am also a bit more defensive than the average Anne. Rather than explore who I am with people, I can be very closed off. Add to that the fact that I am super self conscious. I know it’s not normal to constantly ask my partner whether I am a goober or to second guess many interactions I have with people. It’s exhausting tbh. I may be that type of person regardless, but I think having a stutter exaggerates these tendencies. Most of the positive things about my persona are in spite of stuttering rather than because of it. I feel like saying you are better person because of stuttering is like saying you are a better person because of trauma., or abuse. Then you give the asshole who traumatized you credit for the amazing person you are. You are who you are in spite of trauma or abuse, not because of it,
