Listen man, living with a stutter is by no means easy. I am 25 and I stutter since I was born. I had to endure people looking at me like I wasn't from this world, I felt depressed, defeated and humiliated, and all these feelings tend to come back at times... But you know what? Despite our stutter, we are still here, hoping things will improve. And they will! Life happens when you make a leap of faith. Yes, you will be rejected. Yes, it will he hard. But that's life, man. That's no reason to give up and stop trying. We still have legs to walk, eyes to see, ears to hear... There's so much to enjoy, and we must not let our stutter get in the way of that. You can still find love, have a fulfilling career, a family, friends... People who are worth it will see you for who you really are, so if anything our stutter grants us the rare privilege to immediately filter out shallow people. Speak freely, not fluently!
