>Entertaining thoughts is like starring at a beautiful sunset with rainbow, but when a tiny cloud passes by, your eyes follow it and before you know it, the rainbow is gone and that beautiful sunset is gone. That cloud is everything that’s stopping you. Just let it pass by. Don’t entertain it by creating hypothetical scenarios. Your analogies/metaphor are literally amazing, thanks for putting that way. It's like I've been doing my whole life, I pay attention to the clouds, but I never really look at the Sunset. >We have personalities the way fluent people have it, but stutter is NOT a part of it. Being funny, charming, intelligent, artistic and so on, is everything any person can be. ANYONE. I'm gonna work on getting better at remembering this. I always think about my stutter, and worry about what people will think even when trying to make friends. >I know this is a long explanation, but I’m hoping this helps comprehend it further. As I mentioned, let me know if I can help you with anything else. Thank you so much, It did help alot and greatly appreciate it. The metaphors where very helpful.
