Hey man I hope good things come your way just know you aren’t stupid or dumb because you stutter. I graduated with a undergrad in psych with a stutter and worked in the field talking to people as my job. Even worked at a psychiatric facility for a couple months, the teens loved me there and most couldn’t even tell I had a stutter. However the ones that did, were some of the most accepting people I’ve met in my life and seeing them get better at the facility was incredibly rewarding. I’m now going for a 2 year graduate degree pivot into CS, and the course I’m taking now is harder than anything I’ve done in undergrad bro. It’s like taking 2/3 classes in one. I had to quit my job at the hospital because I couldn’t focus on something completely different while going for what I’m studying. I quit my job and have to learn asynchronously, most days I do like an hour of work and feel like shit “why did i ever quit the job if im just going to work for a fucking hour man”. But I promise you kiddo you just have to trust the process, everything works out when you give it time (and effort). Most of us also completely suck at love as well and you’re CERTAINLY not alone there 😅
