I'm 32 and I've been stuttering for as long as I can remember! It was rough when I was a kid. I dealt with pretty consistent bullying throughout school. But I feel like I really blossomed in adulthood! Most people don't care I stutter, and the ones that do care are usually not the kind of people I want approval from anyway. I'm married and have a strong group of friends. I speak 3 languages, and have always worked in careers that require a lot of talking and occasional public speaking. I found that forcing myself to do things that make me uncomfortable and not letting my stutter hold me back have really helped me gain confidence in myself and my stutter. There are still bad days and people who make me feel small sometimes. But the good outweighs the bad.
