Convince me this is not a lower standard of living. After my last post on here I'm still not convinced that it's all in my head. So far I think it's quite the opposite. I think there is a significant effect that stutterering has on yourself, your self esteem, your character, the way you present yourself and the way others percievd you. That in turn very heavily dictates what your life is like and will be like. I don't see why I am wrong, But if i am wrong and it truly is all in my head then tell me how. Tell me how me not being able to tell stories, jokes, witty comebacks, banter get insulted and not be able to come back, stop kid sentence and not look people in the eye while talking is all in my head.
