> I constantly dwell on my blocks and the reactions of others, and it destroys my relationships. I feel so much anger and pain because of my stutter. I feel angry that it won't ever be possible to join in on the social level that the world plays at, to be apart of regular, fast flowing and witty discourse. I feel like an observer. You shouldn't dwell on the reactions of others because others don't validate you. You validate yourself. That's just part of having a decent self-esteem - do you think successful, healthy people go out everyday wondering what random strangers think about them? Do you think Elon Musk goes out everyday wondering what this cashier thinks of him or what this beggar thinks of him or, I don't know, what one of his employees thinks of him? Elon Musk does have a bit of a stutter. You need to find your center and that center is you.
