Definitely. It was always super tough for me to figure out what to do work-wise, I always wanted to just do a desk job where I wouldn’t have to talk. I never really had a plan though and so when I was...

>when I'm with people I think of so many things to say but I don't open my mouth to say them and it's so depressing. Stutterers tend to have this thing where we feel like non-stutterers are just s...
