Do ya'll think life would have been better if we didn't stammer? I mean, obvious answers aside, I feel like my stutter significantly reduced my self-esteem and confidence in high school which in turn led me to not do the things I really wanted to do. I feel like I've failed, and this is probably my anxiety talking because I'm only 21, but I feel like I could have been a more appreciated person if I didn't have my stutter. Sometimes I ask myself why me. SOrry for the rant.
